Medvedev warns of new cold war over missile shield.

But did the cold war really ever finish -or was it just a thaw ?

While Russia complains about the missile shield,it forgets to mention its own deployment escalations of S300s on its borders.
It also forgets to mention the massive increases on defence spending which include upgrades of its stockpiles.

Russia will come back. They are far too independently minded to become part of the west's "international community".

Since the US has exhausted itself in needless foreign wars, a hopelessly corrupt monetary system and corrupt politicians. The US will have no strength to counter a resurgent Russia in the coming decades.

Seems Medvedev wants the message to get out.
Its also reported in the Washington Post.

The suggestion of sharing radars and early warning systems could offer some credibility,but note the comments from the Russian general-there has to be trust.
This is probably the crux of things......there has NEVER been any trust between the USA and Russia,and probably never will be nomatter how many times the reset buttons are pressed.

The cold war never stopped it just went underground, instead of building things in the open it is now a game of, "lets see how much we can conceal without getting caught, while signing treaties to demilitarize." The same forces are in play and now there is a third big dog on the block making it all even more interesting, China, four if you include the EU.

Russia also conducted a second nuclear missile test in a month recently.
