I wish people would get over all this Cold War stuff!  Let's put that in the trash heap once and for all!  I'm not saying Russia's path is good - there needs to be more political reforms.  But we can't afford to get into a battle with China, the Muslim Brotherhood, AND Russia!  

What cold war stuff are you referring to in the article?

 

Or is it just the fact that it mentions Russia in unflattering terms?

TonoFonseca, Russia has its geopolitical priorities, which remained, more or less, the same  as in the Tzar. They may conflict with geopolitical goals of some other countries. It is not about someones will to "forget" something or not. Same goes for other countries. People, the popular opinions, tend to make parallels between interpersonal relations and politics, and it is always wrong. Different principles apply.
