Psst...Notice a Cold War?

From Day One of the Bush Administration, the Administration had but one policy...isolate Russia.  Osama bin Laden was but a fading memory of the Clinton Administration.  President Bush looked into Putin's eyes and saw what he wanted to see in "Putin's soul".  

Number One Priority was to put missiles in Alaska.  That required throwing out the ABM Treaty, which the President than unilaterally did.  After Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9/11, the Administration than took the opportunity to place troops on the southern flank of Russia in Afghanistan and Iraq.  

Than NATO moved into Afghanistan.  Additionally, they began adding former Soviet bloc states to their alliance.  Finally, the Bush Administration decided to place missiles and radar stations in these former bloc nations.  

So, it should have come as no surprise that Vladmir Putin would wait until the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in order to look into Bush's eyes as Russian troops marched into Georgia.  Payback's a bitch.

Now, Russia is flying bombers into Venezuela.  Venezuela and Bolivia are effectively severing relations with the United States.  This is not only a challenge to the Bush Doctrine, but to the Monroe Doctrine as well.  How long before the missiles return to Cuba?

Russia is now rattling sabres at the Ukraine.  Next on the agenda could be Alaska.  With Governor Palin distracted from the affairs of state in her run for the Vice-Presidency, will she be prepared to lead the Alaska National Guard in its defense of her state?  Stay tuned!
