A New Cold War?

I dunno, something seems fishy about this. It seems to me that Russia and the United States have been rather close for the last few terms...and now this is supposedly dissolving? What I realize is that the Iraq war seems to be winding down and there is still billions of dollars that need to be spent on war infrastructure.

Going a bit against the grain, it is possible that this 'extended cold war' was planned by both Putin and Bush to maximize the legitimacy of further tax increases. This recent turn of events may actually lead be nothing less than a symbiotic relationship in that both countries will now have monetary reasons to further arm/defend themselves from future threat.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Interesting development.

Putin offers radar site in Azerbaijan

Quote:

Vladimir Putin, bitterly opposed to a U.S. missile shield in Europe, presented President Bush with a surprise counterproposal Thursday built around a Soviet-era radar system in Azerbaijan rather than new defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic. Bush said it was an interesting suggestion and promised to consider it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
