I disagree with Noam's conclusion that the conditions conducive to a return of the Cold War don't exist. Russia and the US both have puhlenty of nukes to destroy each other and surrounding countries many times over.

Yea, but to even talk about using them creates international uproar. You cant win a nuclear war, if not only because of the bad PR.
