New cold war?

It seems to me the entire world couldn't avoid the cold war. But this time it's a bit different.

It'd be the cold war between US and Russia (including China )

I wonder if UK, the Uncle Sam's old dearest friend who usually followed in his footsteps, would join this possible war game.

Cold War implies equal opponents, like the US and the USSR 'back in the day'.

Modern day Russia or China are no match for the US militarily, the US is so far ahead that both would bankrupt themselves before getting close.

No match? Bankrupt themselves?Are you just kidding?

While China is making steady progress it should be noted that it has not once demonstrated aggression towards the USA and seems reasonably happy playing the capitalist game. I don't see war breaking out between China and the USA as things stand, it would require a massive change in attitude.

China have been increasingly aggressive towards US-backed states in SE Asia though.

That's their neighborhood. When they start having proxy wars halfway across the world like the USSR then i'll worry.

Georgia and Ukraine are in Russia's neighbourhood, that doesn't mean we should sit back and leave them too it, especially when it affects our interests.

Given our presence in Brunei and our membership of the Five Power Defence Arrangements, what happens in SE Asia is our business.

It's true.

The US military is the most powerful in human history.

All the US air force has to do is drop a few turds and the majority of the Russian fleet would be sent to Davy Jones locker.

Davy Jones locker?

Regarding Russia it should be noted that while the Cold War is back in the sense of proxy actions against the west, it is no longer a military power on a global scale. In the event of war the combined air and naval forces of the UK and France alone have the capability to sink the entire Russian fleet and crucify Russia's ability to wage war in the air. Russia has an edge on land but were the USA to commit ground forces then the British, French and US flags would be flying over the ruins of Moscow within 6 months.

Russia has no ICBMs? Mr.Putin wouldn't use such missiles?

Really? Why are you so sure about that?

Because it's common bloody sense.

They have military bases in most countries and are the world's top number 1 ally. Their power projection capability is superior to that of the Royal Navy in 1900. If the US wishes to take down any regime, anywhere in the world at any time, it won't have much trouble doing so. If the US were a malevolent force, we would all be dead or enslaved.
