Prepare War, Wake up the Mighty Men

Since the end of World War 2, major world powers have not truly clashed apart from cold wars and proxy wars. With so many years past since World War 2 and the collapse of the Soviet Union, many have been lulled into thinking that the days of “empire building” are over. Certainly the West has lost its appetite for conflict and many did not see this coming. It was in a debate leading up to the 2012 US Presidential Election that Barack Obama mocked at Mitt Romney for saying that Russia was the biggest threat to world peace. How foolish that sounds now.
