Three Ages of Cold War

It can be argued that first hot phase of the Cold War was the early 1960's, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the closes the world came to World War Three, then in the early 1980's we had a very cold /hot political climate in the first Term of the Reagan Administration. In the end of the Second Reagan Term the Cold War was over, the USA had won, in the end the USSR could not match the USA. In the 1990's we see the USSR became Russia, almost a Wild West Town in the 21st Century. The Wild West has been moved from Moscow to London, it is like an ex super power if the Russians are behind the killing are so weak that it sees any threat as a danger, that shows its weakness, a strong power would not really take notice of critics on the outside, when it reacts it shows how right those critics are, what is next for Russia, will it break up more. Will the CIS became hundred states of what was a great Empire.
