Is the Cold War Really Over?

...

Cuba was at the center of the Cold War during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and now they are at the center again with new controversial events. The shady relationships between Russia and Cuba, the still present US embargo on Cuba, and the ever-present flow of military supplies coming in from Russia show us that the Cold War was never over, and that it may even be possible that in the near future it will be bigger than it ever was before. The fight between the two giants of the world, Russia and USA, will prevail throughout time, always changing in size and shape but never in significance.
