title: The looming prospect of a second cold war
abstract: After Russia's annexation of Crimea in March, President Obama had this to say about President Putin in an interview on CBS News: He's been willing to show a deeply held grievance about what he considers to be the loss of the Soviet Union. You would have thought that after a couple of decades that there'd be an awareness on the part of any Russian leader that the path forward does not revert back to the kinds of practices that, you know, were so relevant during the Cold War.
