I'll believe this when we start seeing the Iranians as the bad guys in every single action or spy movie and videogame that comes out over the next decade or so.

It's been more than 2 decades after the Cold War ended, and we're still seeing Russians as the quintessential villains. Why???

Because the political correctness police don't get angry if you slaughter Russians or Germans?

1st cold war was red vs blue in the picture below. Two incredibly large powers, each with enough nukes to destroy the world several times over.

2nd cold war would be the EU and USA vs Iran. One side of which has enough nukes to destroy the world several times over, the other with a tiny economy, little power over foreign countries and essentially no nuclear power.

How are these two situations similar?

im pretty sure its all related to regional stuff...like how saudi if there is an iranian bomb, there will be a saudi one. and with all the oil in the region the tension isnt just something the rest of the world can just ignore. everyone needs oil.

Then the title should be "Fears Iran could start 'new nuclear arms race'.

I though I'd post some pictures to show the complete idiocy of thinking that there can be a Cold War consisting of Iran vs the rest of the world. Enjoy!
