Re: Is this the Begining of New Cold War
^ I think simplyme the situation is not that simple as oil prices are high and Europe is very dependent on russian gas. The whole Europe shuddered when Russia had that conflict with Estonia and they threatened to shut down the pipeline.
Though I don't know how the russians will provide support as Pakistan is main conduit for pashtun resistance and unlike the eighties, Pakistan is not going to arm them being a "US ally". Iraq, though, is a different matter.
