Bring Back the Cold War

In the BBC today there is an article on Russian president Vladimir Putin’s goverment and their repression of free speech. According to the report “outspoken journalists” have been murdered and there hasn’t been any investigation. There are also concerns of police brutality towards protestors.

From the sound of the reports Putin is bringing back cold war era Russia. Part of me thinks that this might keep things simple in the future, lets bring back the fallout drills, nuclear missle tests, and Red scares. Fighting wars is much simpler the good guys carry M-16’s and go to church and listen to rock’n roll and the bad guys carry Ak-47’s, hate puppies and freedom.
