Default Is the cold war really over?

Russian submarines are hunting down British Vanguard boats in a return to Cold War tactics not seen for 25 years, Navy chiefs have warned.

Huh. So Ivan is back. The patter of DW mission designers' feet can be heard as they scamper off to their consoles.

As a former Trident sailor, I learned that the Cold War never ended. While the world rejoiced at the fall of communism, nothing really changed except for the name of one of the players.

Hmm. I would ask you to tell more about your post-Cold War patrol expriences, as the subject interests me greatly, but I suspect that you can't without risking time in prison.

From what I understand the cat and mouse games never really stopped.

If you look at it in practical terms it is over,

but in theory it's another thing,it is well known that major powers with sub-Nukes are playing with each other,and this is a longstanding one and will remain so,but other players without having Nukes is in play.

I spent yesterday and most of today with blowing up T-55s, T-62s and T-72s, while seing my Leopard-1s getting mauled and my M60s getting shreddered, so I would say - yes, the cold war is over.
