Well Putin is still doing stuff that makes me worried about a New Cold War. Putin has suspend participation in NATO arms-control treaty. This means that there will no longer be NATO inspections of military sites and they will no longer have a limit when it comes to tanks or other heavy conventional weapons. Putin says that there are extraordinary circumstances that are affecting the security of the Russian Federation and require immediate measures.
Alexander Golts a military analyst for Yezhenedelny Zhurna says that this doesn't mean that there will be a build of of Russia's millitary because Russia has no resorces for it. I think he must not be paying attention to Russian History. Russian leaders starved their citizens in order to make sure they had resorces for the millitary when they felt it was needed. Russia also has control over large amounts of oil that EU needs so Russia has more resorces then Alexander Golts is willing to pay attention to.
