The importance of this issue is monumental because it shows that current world events may have a serious impact on our lives. It is also important to understand that as long as Russia is effectively trying to reemerge as a world super power then Russian actions may continue to have a major impact on United States foreign policy.

Some historians and analysts argue that the New Cold War is completely different because it will not encompass the entire globe. Historians and analysts suggest that China and other major world powers will not be drawn into this conflict which makes this conflict completely separate from the Cold War. Some historians and analysts suggest that the proof that the Cold War ended directly relates to this wave of world peace that ended with the Cold War in 1989. Decrease in Civil Wars throughout the world following the Cold War due to the lack of funding for rebels following the fall of the Soviet Union.

Since 1989 Russian and United states relations have had their up s and down s. 1997- Founding Act, which stated that NATO and Russia no longer saw themselves as adversaries. It laid a road map for future NATO-Russian relations. NATO and Russia have been working to have a cooperative relationship. However, it is still a work in progress. 2010- President Obama and Russian President Medvedev sign the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. (New Start) to reduce each nation s nuclear arsenal by thirty percent and also limit the number of Nuclear submarines and bombers. (Plumer,2013)

Since the initial cooperation of the New Start program President Obama has stated that he would like to continue to put limitations on each nation s nuclear arsenal. However this has proven to be difficult because Russia is no longer willing to reduce their arsenal any further without the U.S. agreeing to legally binding restrictions on their missile defense programs. U.S. spending billions on modernizing its own deterrent force. Including missile defense programs. Russia may feel like the U.S. is threatening them by aggressively seeking ways to improve their missile defense programs and modernizing their own weapons programs. U.S. and Russian relations are at an all time low since the Cold War. (plumer,2013) (Feffer, 2014)

o o o Most historians and analysts suggest that the New Cold War will not have the same amount of influence throughout the world as the original Cold War. However, these same historians and analysts contradict themselves by continuously acknowledging that these events are likely to have major implications on every aspect of the international system. They also acknowledge that the threat of a Nuclear War could quickly become a reality once again. They suggest that the best way to quickly solve the New Cold War conflict is by learning from the Cold War. (Legvold, 2014)

Recent Russian military actions The United States still sees Russia as the only world power that can single handedly wipe them out. In the recent months since the Crimea incident started, Russia has test launched an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, Russian Nuclear Submarines were detected off of the coast of Western Europe, and they even sent Nuclear capable Bombers to North America. (Kroenig,2015) ( Nazemroaya,2009)

o The 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union was the greatest catastrophe of the century. -Vladimir Putin (Roskin,2014) o Putin wants to re-establish a greater Russia in areas that were formally controlled by the Soviet Union Matthew Kroenig, (Kroenig,2015) o Vladimir Putin views himself as second only to god. - Mikhail Gorbachev (Whale,2014) o Either Putin is out of his mind or he sees the United States and NATO at a weakening state. o "His primary form of compensation for his disorder is extreme control and this is reflected in his decision style and how he governs," (U-JIN LEE, CBS NEWS 2015)

ASIA Divided Korean Peninsula. North Korea can possibly cause some serious issues. RUSSIA Russia VS. NATO Russian and U.S. relations continue to decline. Missile defense and control issues. (Nazemroaya, 2009) (Kroenig, 2015)

Korean Peninsula could be the most volatile area of the New Cold War world. (Threats) Separated between the allies of China and the allies of the United States. Shanghai Five/Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) China Russia Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Tajikistan Signed this alliance to oppose U.S. hegemony, although this is not a formal military alliance it is still concerning and shows that the Cold War Ideals are still very much alive. (Kroenig,2015) (Roskin,2014)

The research has directed me to believe that the Cold war never really ended. The Cold War may have been put on pause; however there are too many similarities between these events to truly believe that they are independent from one another. There are still major issues that were present during the Cold War that are still present now. It is important for our foreign policy leaders to handle these situations delicately, and Learn from events that took place over 20 years ago to ensure that this Cold War issue finally comes to a long over due conclusion.
