Oh, I wouldn’t worry. It looks like there may be another Cold War on the horizon. Only this time, it will be America that represents the forces of depravity and Godless evil.

Yup.

Lets engage in a new cold war only this time we start in a position where we’re only marginally better off than Russia was when they collapsed the last time.

Besides, its not like we don’t have enough excuses to strip constitutional rights away as it is.

If the Cold War was on, we wouldn't be spending a second worrying about what to do in the Ukraine.

Things can't be that bad throughout the rest of the world, with Kerry spending the majority of his time focused on Global Warming.

"Oh, I wouldn’t worry. It looks like there may be another Cold War on the horizon. Only this time, it will be America that represents the forces of depravity and Godless evil."

And Putin is protecting Christianity and morality, at least officially. The US is aggressively spreading its LGBTQ agenda worldwide and pushing and threatening countries to get them to accept the depravity.

We were always on the edge of instant global annihilation, not to mention the huge combat losses in wars and military operations, even when we weren’t fighting, we were losing thousands of men a year in the military.

Perhaps he can re-imprison many nations of millions of people under the Soviet Empire, to simplify things.

Its a lousy title.

There a number of words modern journalism is derilect in abandoning the use of, the are the words “some”, and the words that express a number.

In this case it is a matter of saying, as they did:

“Top Republicans Call for Return to Cold War”,

instead of the more honest, less hyberpolic:

“Two Republicans Call for Return to Cold War”.

One might have thought that McConnel, Boehner, their lieutenants and the likes of McGain, Grassley and others led the “call”, and for many of the masses that only read headlines and not the details, many will be given that impression. Many Dims will now go ahead and use that assumed truth and will be claiming “the GOP” wants to return to the cold war.

The journalistic deceit is no different than their inability to use the phrase “Some scientists” when commenting on a scientific matter, selling to the masses as they always do that any use of “Scientists” means “science” and there’s only one opinion in science.

Well, I think there are many opinions in the GOP about any “return to the cold war”. Whether I agree with the “cold warrriors” or not 2 Repiblicans in congress does not a party or “the top” of it make.

But are they actually calling for a "return to the Cold War"? Or just comparing the present situation with an earlier one?

When the president says things would be easier if he were president of China, is he actually calling for a dictatorship? Or offering to move across the Pacific? Or just comparing his situation with Hu's?
