    Russia may not be to blame but the lack of the USSR certainly made citizens of NATO nations so relieved after the petsistent fear of a nuclear exchange of either side screwed up relations.

    I’d say the good times were over after 9/11 made people aware that just because there was no enemy “superpower”, didn’t mean there’s no risk.
