Welcome Back to the Cold War

|

*sigh*

Today I read "Moscow could aim nuclear weapons at targets in Europe as part of "retaliatory steps" if Washington proceeds with building a missile defense system on the continent, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday," from this CNN article.

WTF? I thought The Cold War was over? Didn't we already do this dance once?

This weekend E and I watched 13 Days, which is about the Cuban missle crisis. The movie was okay, assuming your could block out Kevin Costner's horrible Boston accent.

All I could think though, as we were watching it, was that if Bush had been president then instead of JFK, we would have bombed the hell out of Cuba. And god only knows where we'd be now (or if we'd be here at all).

It's all so fucking depressing and infuriating at the same time.
