Russian President ready for new Cold War

August 27, 2008

Russian President Dimitri Medvedev says Russian is ready to fight a new Cold War after his country approved annexation of two “breakaway” regions of Georgia. He made a very disturbing statement in The Times of London:

President Medvedev set tensions soaring when he recognised the independence of two breakaway republics inside Georgia. We are not afraid of anything, including the prospect of a Cold War, he said. Hours earlier he had ordered his Foreign Ministry to start establishing diplomatic ties with the secessionist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
