No need to restart something that never stopped. Russia's territory and influence shrank after the USSR collapsed and the US led "west" expanded but even though the cold war got less cold it never ended.Originally Posted by misskit
Both sides feel threatened so of course the usual response is to instill fear in folks and beef up the military. Nothing new here.

For the colonials.
"Ostracism causes real pain, Williams says, because our basic need for belonging, self-esteem, control, and recognition is thwarted. When people in a study were excluded in a simulated game of ball toss, brain scans showed more activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the brain that responds to pain, as well as the right ventral prefrontal cortex, an area involved in coping with pain. Williams' research identified three stages of the response to being left out: pain, coping, and -- if the exclusion goes on for a long time -- depression and a feeling of helplessness. That can have serious consequences: in 13 of 15 U.S. school shooting incidents between 1995 and 2001, the shooters had been ostracized at school."
The fact that the colon's contents exit through an organ of, some would say pleasure, has nothing to do with my colonial attitude. It's just malice.
