Friendly reminder that the Cold War is over

It made sense to oppose Russia with all our might when the Cold War was actually a thing. Cold Wars are nasty affairs that involve things like your enemy saying they will bury you, enslaving whole nations under a totalitarian government, exporting revolutionary ideologies to the far corners of the earth, and placing nuclear weapons and tens of thousands of troops in a country 100 miles from your own coastline. But given that Russia no longer does any of these things and has not made aggressive moves on anyone since it gave up control of 700,000 square miles of territory and 180 million people in what was widely believed to be the end of the Cold War, one might reasonably conclude that the Cold War is, in fact, over.

This isn't very complicated.
