(not sure if this is 100% verifiable and all that, but I saw it recently) basically it's NATO v. Russia again, economic sanctions, bomb threats, small invasions into europe, and all of that fun stuff. ukraine is an obvious example too. but here's where it gets interesting and scary as hell america and britian have both recently reported russian aircraft, probably bombers, over UK/US airspace. in the US, the bomber was given a warning, and turned back to wherever it came from. same thing with the UK, but people are saying the aircraft was carrying a nuclear warhead this is directly over british airspace guys (again i can't verify any of it, but a very intelligent friend of mine has been keeping up with the ukraine invasion, recent events, and all of that. if this actually happened, holy hell.) gra tah-tah

this has been going on forever, it won't be just another Cold War but it's the beginning of WWIII, especially with ISIS trying to take over the middle eastern countries.

Basically, we kind of are. The threats, sanctions, and numerous sightings and interceptions of Russian bombers/fighters near NATO lands are close enough.

excuse me while I giggle at the Russia's collapsing economy could they be stupid enough to inflate their defense costs and hurt themselves even more?? (not to mention destroy their reputation) we'll find out in the next episode of Putin Plagues
