True, but then again WW1 munitions are still killing people today.

Obviously I was talking about his foreign policy which is weak and ineffectual. Do you ever read things in context? You saying I am blinkered is like the Hunchback of Notre Dame saying I have rounded shoulders.

I have a strange visual now, of local youth gangs in your area in full Napoleonic dress, with sawn off muskets doing a drive by in a horse and cart.

To predict another Cold War simply misunderstands what the Cold War was. Communism was essentially a commodity that Russia wanted to export (and for a long time believed would simply be adopted globally de facto) and that's what drove the philosophical division between eastern and western Europe. Today's Russia may be aggressive and/or imperialist in terms of seeking regional dominance, but its motivation is largely economic rather than philosophical. For instance, its alliances in the Middle East aren't really based on the likelihood that Syria will turn to some Russian political dogma; only that an economic alliance will be enhanced by propping up a friendly dictator. Russia now is more miscreant and irritant than overt threat.

That being said, there will be battles rather than a lengthy war because relations with Russia will ebb and rise when and where they are motivated by a specific interest, rather than through an ongoing and permanent difference in philosophies. Russia is a problem, yes. But a new Cold War? No.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Everyone is assuming that the Americans aren't complicit in this.
They want Assad out and that can still happen as well as dealing with ISIL.
Another pro Russian can take over in Syria and the combined forces of the northern hemisphere can bomb the crap out of TSIL (separately)while Iranian ground troops clean up.

America can claim a small victory with Assad going and does not have to send troops into the region. Russia maintain their influence in the Syria.

Everybody saves face.
