Will the new war in ossetia re-ignite the cold war?

Question

u.s. backed georgia fighting the russians

Answer 1

How do you re-ignite a Cold War? Isn't that an oxymoron??

Answer 2

so you think the cold war was over?  We'll always have proxy wars, the us and russia.

Answer 3

possibly, but not a cold war, where we just make nukes and do nothing with them, we USE the nukes.

Answer 4

The Cold War was a conflict between mainly the United States and Russia over what to do with Germany after WWII.  Unless the Russians do, in fact, attack Germany again, the Cold War will not re-ignite.  The odds of another Cold War are extremely low.

Answer 5

yeah, I agree with Wizard, if Georgia is allowed to join NATO or if the countries under NATO decide to help Georgia out, then, we'll have a 3rd world war on our hands. Or it could involve another senario of appeasement like that of ww2 because the American military is too weak to take on another war.  

Answer 6

It could lead to WW3.  only the future will say.
