The year 2014 was the centennial of World War I, and it was marked by chaos. Wild predictions that a new Cold War was coming, or evenWorld War III were proved to be wholly wrong.

Today, the U.S. and Europe, are maybe on the same chorus, but they are singing different runes, while Russia is a lonely soloist. More importantly, the U.S., the only country that could really reignite a Cold War, has shown no signs that it intends to do so.
