The New "New Cold War"
As if the New Cold War wasn't enough - now we have the "new" New Cold War - as Russia flexes its muscles in the wake of the apparent perceived weaknesses of the the western bloc: Russia threatening new cold war
The threat of a new arms race comes at a time when relations between Russia and the US are at their worst for a decade. In February Mr Putin accused the Bush administration during a speech in Munich of seeking a "world of one master, one sovereign". On Friday Russia's duma, or lower house or parliament, warned that the US's plans could ignite a second cold war. "Such decisions, which are useless in terms of preventing potential or imaginary threats from countries of the middle and far-east, are already bringing about a new split in Europe and unleashing another arms race," the declaration - passed unanimously by Russian MPs - said.Propaganda and counter propaganda rule in the "new new cold war" - after all we have to ask why certain factions opposed to "Westen Interests" are supplying people who have expressed a desire to Wipe Israel Off the Map
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly called for Israel to be wiped off the map.But who is supplying the technology for the Iranian Nuclear programme?Ahmadinejad addressed students at a conference
"The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," the president told a conference in Tehran on Wednesday, entitled The World without Zionism.
"The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land," he said.
"As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map," said Ahmadinejad, referring to Iran's revolutionary leader Ayat Allah Khomeini.
Russian delegations are in Tehran to discuss both financial and technical issues regarding the Bushehr nuclear power plant.Note that the only reason for the embargo was that "Tehran had fallen behind on its monthly payments" - like Iran was buying a 3-piece suite, a car or a house ...State news agency RIA Novosti reports negotiations are planned to last until April 13.
Atomstroyexport, the Russian nuclear firm building the $1 billion plant, stopped work last month because Tehran had fallen behind on its monthly payments.
Iran says the stoppage was because of international pressure over Iran's nuclear program. Iran's uranium enrichment projects, not the Bushehr plant, are coming under global criticism for having weapons aims, which Tehran denies.
Is the "New New Cold War" going to play out like the "Old Cold War" - but with 4 "blocs" instead of three?
Or are some people being used as puppets and war proxies by their masters?
Who is running the "New Cold War" - and is it the same as the "Old Cold War" - or is it just the "Old Cold War" revamped and reheated with the same players as before?
