Does the Russian recognition of two breakaway regions of Georgia signal the start of Cold War II???

Question

This political situation (where secular Nationalism plays a key role) will lead to the diminishing of religious terrorism??

Answer 1

Yes!It does!And may I add it goes deeper than at what it appears at first thought!

The cold War II as many connotations!Such as!If Russia at a minute's notice shut off the oil and gas supplies to Europe! It will be a Cold War this winter in Britain in more ways than one!

The point not to be forgotten is!Russia knows this!

Answer 2

not sure about cold war II more like world war III

Answer 3

Russia  is  no longer an empire but  a nation of about 100 million people so can not really challenge the US worldwide in the way they did during the cold war. However they still have nuclear weapons and are serving notice they will not  be push around and will exert power in their sphere of influence,  The fact that they are a major suppler of energy to Europe means that EU will not support us in a confrontation.

Answer 4

I think that russia has done nothing wrong, the west has brought this on themselves, why have the UK and USA got involved its nothing to do with us.

The break away regions want to be part of russia, georgia started it.

If world war III does start i am joining the russians.

FOR THE MOTHER LAND! LoL

Answer 5

I think Russia finally told the WEST to go **** itself. What CAN we do? Our hands are tied and Russia knows it. I'm hoping that it stays at cold war status at most, because, if Warmonger McCain wins (highly unlikely), and hard headed Putin have to go head to head, it will be all bad.

Answer 6

Serbian civilization originates in Kosovo!

What happened in Osetia is twice better because Osetia used to be a country of its own before Stalin annexed it to Georgia.Stalin was a Georgian so...

Answer 7

No. Global warming has meant that there can be no cold wars any more.

Answer 8

It looks bad from here. Hope it does not get any worse.

Answer 9

It already had before the Russian president begged the west not to start one.  It was too late, Putin already had with his land grab.

Answer 10

This could if someone doesn't get their head from up their a rses start WW3. This is just the sort of conflict that starts wars, one little state against a much larger one, and the other states taking sides. I thought we had enough in WW2

Answer 11

The murder of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006 was a sign that the cold war never ended. Don't mess with Russia.

Answer 12

It started the moment they molested Georgia.

Course, you know this is just revenge for Kosovo.
