COLD WAR INCREASES

Submitted by Admin on

The Cold War rivalry between the United States and Russia has lasted for much of the second half of the 20th century resulted in mutual suspicions, heightened tensions and a series of international incidents that has brought the world’s superpowers to the brink of disaster.

The Russians are using a Maryland facility as a spy base, according to The White House, which has ordered it immediately shut down.

In an age of global warming, the cold war is about to get colder, but thank God there is no fighting directly between the two sides, although there have been regional wars, known as proxy wars, supported by the two sides.

So far, both democrats and Republicans appear to support the heightened actions and US sanctions.
