Red Alert?
So, both candidates covered foreign issues in the first two debates. Last night they touched specifically on the “Russia question” , namely the Kremlin’s new found confidence and whether this represents a threat to Americans. Both Obama and McCain tried to avoid the impression that they’re speaking about a new Cold War but their rhetoric was all but the same: supporting countries that have very tough relations with Russia and containment of Russian “nationalist pretentions”.
Do you think this debate is relevant? Generally speaking, are YOU really concerned by new “Red Alert”? Or is this being used to frighten the public into thinking that the US is under siege from a nuclear Iran, China and Russia?
