      Its definitely a possibility following the Ukranian crisis. Let’s see how things pan out..

      I’ll stay optimistic and say that the consequences of another cold war aren’t desireable enough. But people are weird, so it’s possible, sure 😮

      Maybe?? It’s definitely a possibility the way politics are panning out. I don’t think it would be a cold war in the same way as the original where it was an arms race. It’s more likely to be active and I don’t think that the US will be the main adversary- I think the rest of Europe. It’s just a prediction, but an unlikely one! Let’s watch this space ey!

      Looks like Russia are trying to weather the effects that the sanctions placed on them have caused and are investing heavily in arms. They will soon have T-50 fighter jets that are said to be more capable than the US F-22 Raptors. What does one do with such a force? But, war is so expensive and what really do they stand to gain? I imagine that even Putin will see the sense in avoiding war. Doesn’t mean he won’t stop trying to find less direct ways to achieve his objectives – whatever they are.
