Apropos "Russia says US 'wants to dominate the world'" carried by Business Recorder yesterday, Russia seems to have plausibly reacted to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, claiming it showed that the United States wanted to dominate world affairs.
"Americans have set a course for confrontations," Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov reportedly said. According to him, "Obama's address yesterday shows that there's just one thing at the heart of (their) philosophy: 'We are number one' and the rest should acknowledge that."
The remarks of Russia's top diplomat give credence to claims that the Ukraine crisis has given birth to a new Cold War in the world. In this war, the US is not facing the defunct Soviet Union but its successor, the Russian Federation whose leadership is more belligerent and less prutent than those who led the Soviet Union during the peak of the Cold War.
