Lol and I thought the cold war was over

The cold war may be over, but nations striving for global hegemony etc. is a neverending story.

The end of the cold war pretty much only meant that the facade of a war between ideologies had to be dropped and replaced by something else. A good example being NATO, which by its official understanding would have pretty much lost its right to exist by the end of the cold war - and yet, the NATO budget even grew after the end of the cold war, and is currently about 200-300% of even the highest budget during decades of cold war.
