A New 'Cool War' With Russia Is About to Begin

"The upshot is that the crisis over Ukraine is likely to reorder global
relations in a significant way. The U.S.-Russia rivalry that was being
vociferously debated as recently as the 2012 presidential election, when
President Obama mocked GOP nominee Mitt Romney's argument that Russia had
become America's "No. 1 geopolitical foe," is today quickly becoming
conventional wisdom in Washington."

"A kind of "cool war" between the two countries-one that is not quite yet
"cold"-may already be emerging. While this is clearly nothing yet like the
great ideological struggle and arms race of the Cold War, U.S. officials may
soon need to consider a new strategy involving the containment of Russian
countermoves around the world."

That's it... it's the "Cool War"!

Very apropos. President Obama is the "cool" , so it stands to reason he would only fight a "cool" war. Cool buys exemption from criticism.
