The Cold War Never Bothered Us Anyway

Can you believe it, it has been one full year since Sochi olympics, back then the relations between EU and Russia was warm and cozy, and then the Crimea crisis occoured. The entire crisis has worsened relations to almost "cold war" level again. So where are we know?

Crimea has been annexed to Russia for some time now and the crisis on the east side of Ukraine is still ongoing. Of course, when it comes to guerilla warfare, the best kind of diplomacy is to deny any involvment as much and as long as possible. We all know that guerilla warfare is crazy cost effective and pose a real threat to even the best armed battalion.Afganistan guerilla warfare was no fun for both the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Big 5
The Minsk meeting where Putin, Merkel, Hollande, Luhashenko and Poroshenko met ended in a "cease fire". A cease fire is kind of like a temporary peace, you don't shoot me I don't shoot you, but as we know it... it gets broken and violated everytime... Except one time where this kind of agrement has worked since 1953. You guessed right, the Korean war is technically still an active conflict because neither parties has signed a formal peace treaty.

But can you believe it, the cold war ended in 1991, that was 24 years ago. Windows XP release date is closer to the dissolution of Soviet                                                        Union than it is to today. Anyways, I never got to experience any of                                                      this because I was born a little too early... but hey, still no nuclear                                                          war. I also apologize if I made you feel old.
