Drunkboxer posted:"The only alternative to total nuclear annihilation is to roll over and let a quasi-dictator do whatever he wants unchecked to our allies" Believe it or not it was possible to view both candidates as bad choices this election. Hillary's only positive spin this election was that she wasn't Donald Trump. Unfortunately, the electorate realized she is in fact just as corrupt and lovely as Donald so the moral outrage didn't win the election.

Honestly, a new Cold War isn't feasible mostly because Russia doesn't have the huge sphere of satellite and client nations with which to foment proxy wars, not anymore. They're trying to rebuild it, but at present, Russia is very limited in the hard power sphere. It's economy ain't too hot either. The only reason it's able to get away with things like Crimea is because Putin knows nobody is willing to escalate, paradoxically if anyone was willing to escalate it's likely it wouldn't happen at all.
