And now we have Syria .... where hostilities and differences are now wide open for all to see. Will this freeze in Russian - West relations continue .... considering what has been said this week and what is happening on the ground in Syria .... I will have to say yes. And as for another Cold War coupled with an arms buildup in Europe .... sadly .... that is happening right now.
