"and an arms build along the Russian border on both sides"

Mutual build up of arms is hardly western propaganda. Both sides have been conducting extremely provocative military exercises/War games on the borders with numerous violations of sovereign air space. The west has again put in place heavy embargoes which has sent the ruble plummeting, essentially backing Russia in to an us vs them mentality.

I'm of the opinion that the cold war never really ended, Russia merely took a few steps backwards. Only in the last 10 years or so have they started attempting to flex their muscle again. Most notably evidenced with their little war in Georgia that happened a few years back, which the Russians are still holding their thumb over Georgia on in terms of South Ossettia.

yes, the unprovoked invasion of Georgia by Russia was the start of the imperialist ambitions
you know your history well mate. you must have good sources :)

even though it feels like the world is going to shit atm....if you look at it in the overall context, we are living in the most peaceful times ever.

the number of wars happening on the planet at the moment are at an all time low.

with globalisation and the importance of business , there will be skirmishes but not full on wars as in the past....there is too much economically to lose.
