Is Russia prepping for the next world war/cold war?
The U.S. Naval ships that launched the missiles at Syria last week were sailing through waters with Russian naval activity not seen since the Cold War. According to the U.S. Navy the waters around Europe have been seeing a worrying ammount of Russian activity in the past few years. "We're seeing activity that we didn't even see when it was the Soviet Union," Howard told Reuters in an interview late Saturday. After the Syrian attacks the Russian launched their own cruise middle ship into the Mediterranean saying, "The ship will operate in the region in accordance to the changing military situation," according to the state-owned news agency Sputnik. Its deployment meant there were now around six Russian warships and three or four support vessels in the Mediterranean, according to the news agency.
What do you think about all of this? Are the Russian really prepairing for the next big war?

I don't think that they are, however, I never like to underestimate countries such as Russia. They are not random but they are not someone to be taken lightly.
