Re: Tell PM, Merkel Cold War is over, Feb. 22. <\/p>\n
Au contraire Mr. Petricevic. The Cold War is not over, in fact these are the most dangerous times in 25 years. There is a Russian army threatening Europe, that has already annexed Crimea, is occupying Eastern Ukraine, has shot down a commercial airliner, is menacing the Baltic states of Estonia and Latvia, and is putting missiles aimed at Europe in Kaliningrad between Poland and Lithuania. <\/p>\n
Russian President Vladimir Putin aided Bashir Al Assad against the rebels rather than ISIS and every once in a while threatens to cut off gas supplies to Europe. Putin has allied his military with Iran. He has hacked into the U.S. elections, threatening elections in Germany and France. <\/p>\n
NATO is needed now more than ever. Trump is way off base suggesting NATO is obsolete. He has coddled Russia for whatever reason, although one can hazard a guess. Fortunately, Gen. Mattis understands the threat that Russia poses and will counter Trumps non-expertise in military matters. <\/p>\n
