Entering the New Cold War: A Global Rivalry
I don't need NATO, the POPE, or Anyone else say it.
We are in a New Cold War!
The Global Cold War began "officially" on March 12, 1947. The Cold War is generally considered to have ended in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. While other key events in the late 1980s symbolized its imminent conclusion, the formal end of the USSR marked the official close of the geopolitical rivalry between the United States and Russia.
By December 2025, the world has crossed a dangerous threshold.
In the long shadow of the 20th century’s Cold War, a new and more complex global confrontation has taken shape. Analysts are no longer debating whether we are approaching a new era of great-power rivalry—they now agree we are fully inside a New Cold War.
