Another cold war?

So is this leading to another cold war? What I don't understand is one man telling everyone else to drop their guns because "it's illegal." One man insisting that only one man and his team can have guns. Well I guess that works when it's the police telling everyone else to drop their guns. But that's because in our society we acknowledge the law and accept that the police have the authority to tell everyone else to drop their guns. But who gave the allies authority to police the entire planet? The UN? That's a big question because we don't have a great global one-world government that tells all the nations who can police.

Expect resistance, especially since the US made one big mistake saying Iraq had an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction but was never able to prove it in five years of occupation. Are they going to make the same assertion or presumption on Iran?

Russia doesn't seem convinced. Why should they be?

Russia's state arms export agency said Monday it is supplying Iran with defensive weapons, including surface-to-air missiles, but did not say whether they include sophisticated long-range S-300 missiles.
