The New Cold War: Russian president Vladimir Putin seems intent on showing his great displeasure with the United States in regards to his actions in the Ukraine.
Irate over sanctions lobbied against Russia for what is viewed politically as his "interference" in the Ukraine, Putin decided to express his anger with President Obama by authorizing a mock-up missile float for the Army Day parade in Moscow. The "missile" is emblazoned with the Communist symbol of the hammer and sickle along with the words "To Be Personally Delivered to Obama", an obvious threat to the American president.
Putin has been flexing his military muscles across the globe in recent months, which many view as his way of venting his frustrations over costly economic sanctions lobbied against his country. NATO and Europe have seen near daily incursions in sovereign territories by Russian fighter jets, with jets being scrambled to meet the threat. Nuclear capable Russian bombers have also been intercepted nearing American airspace on several occasions, on both the East and West coasts, which have been interpreted as tests of military response times.
