With all this talk about the spy murder case in Russia and Russia and China propping up Iran with nuclear technology it begs the question.....Did the "Cold War" ever really end, or did our enemy lose a battle in the hopes of winning the war?

I find this an interestion notion that one of the key beliefs of communistic states, most notably China, is the philosophy of "The Long War" ....where they effectivley believe that it does not matter how long a war takes, as long as eventually absolute victory is the outcome....

Pretty freaky huh?

well, the thing with asians is that they dont mind holding a grudge. taking a break for 5, 10 or 35 years isnt a big deal.

China is capitalist with an unelected oligarchic government

the cold war was replaced by the war on terror

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

the cold war is over.

just because russia offs their own spy or both china and russia are still nuclear powers mean jack shit.

russia was just doing some house cleaning. we're not buttbuddies but as hostile as it was 20 years. to think they are just gonna hop into bed wit us and throw all intel-gathering sources out the window is ridiculous. they have spies, we have em, china, everyone. just what countries do.

I've worked with russians. that shit would have never...ever happened in the 50's--80's.

the world has evolved...not for the better, but still...

you're one readin' into things motherfucker, impala! lol

I said it has evolved. didn't say better or worse. while things may have gotten better with russia, obviously shit has blown up with the ME.

it's like the cup is 1/2 full of say sprite (russia), you pour out 1/4, but pour in a 1/4 coke (ME terror).

shit is still 1/2 full...just different mixture.

for the love of !

yeah but things are most definitely better since we're not enemies with russia anymore.... look at your cocktail example here... think about it this way... cup is 1/2 full of sprite (russia), then you dump in 1/4 coke (ME terror) now the cup is 3/4 full rather than 1/2.

basically, the world is most definitely better off without USA vs USSR
