	TO Russia, With Love: The New Cold War? Say, what? I am watching this segment on Fox News, and didn't pay it much attention, until I heard the theory that we should share technology with Russia. Talking about a bad idea! While we are trying to shield Europe from an attack by Iranian nuclear weapons, now Russia, Vladimir Putin is saying that he will point his missles at Europe. Who's side is he on? If Iran can't hit Europe, don't worry, Russia can. There has been talk about Russia and Iran having a mutual defense pact. Talk about a pre-emptive strike on Iran because of their nuclear ambitions, and now Russia has been motivated to start talking tough... Coincidence? Maybe I should just try to worry about the Cubs ever winning another game.... This stuff is getting too scary.

	The Start of a New Cold War? This video was compiled using various news reports on the growing tensions between Russia and United States over the US sponsored missile shield in Eastern Europe which Russia sees as a threat to its national security. NOTE: Please don't start the all famous baby threads on whoever has the best weapons. We all know Russia does... :) Just kidding! But seriously, such discussions are pointless and always end up in verbal confrontations and physical threats. The point of my video is to condemn the growing crisis, not trigger another one on YouTube, lol :) Well, apart from that... be good and enjoy the video!
