Are we on the brink of cold war
世界是否濒于冷战边缘
With relations between Russia and the NATO countries rapidly deteriorating,many analysts have referred to this conflict as the second Cold War. However a significant number of factors are different between the 20th century conflict and this one.
随着俄罗斯和北约国家之间的关系急剧恶化，许多分析人员将这次冲突称为“第二次冷战”。然而，20世纪的冷战和这次冲突之间存在许多不同之处。
So what is the second cold war? Well the original cold war was an indirectly confrontational standoff from 1945 to 1991.It was between the Western bloc made up by the United States and NATO against the Eastern bloc,which was the Soviet Union and satellite states.The split was largely based on ideological differences pitting the capitalist west with the communist East.The cold war was considered cold as be their side took part in regional warfare.However fighting did take place in the form of proxy wars in Korea in Vietnam in Afghanistan,which both sides supported financially and militarily. The cold war ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
那么，第二次冷战是什么？最初的冷战是指1945年至1991年之间间接冲突导致的对峙。是由美国，北约组成的西方和苏联及其卫星国组成的东方团体之间的冲突。其分裂主要体现在资本主义西方和共产主义东方之间意识形态上的差异。冷战被认为“冷”是因为各方参与了地区战争事宜。然而，战争却以朝鲜，越南和阿富汗的傀儡战争的形式进行。双方均提供财政和军事上的支持。冷战在1991年以苏联的解体告终。
Today's cold war 2.0 is largely the result of Russian opposition to NATO expansion following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In recent years,Russia's President Vladimir Putin had promoted conservative policy and anti-western ideology,known as Putinism.
今天的第二次冷战主要是由于苏联解体后俄罗斯反对北约扩张引起的。近年来，俄罗斯总统普京推行保守政策和反西方意识形态，被称为普京主义。
Within this view is the concept that the countries which gained independence after the Soviet Union ended should still be within Russia's sphere of influence.
按照他推行的意识形态，苏联解体后获得独立的国家应该继续在俄罗斯的影响范围内。
In 2005 Putin referred to the presidents of the former Soviet Union as Russians who've been left outside of the Russian border.
2005年，普京称前苏联国家的总统为遗留在俄罗斯边境外的俄罗斯人。
His actions have been widely interpreted as attempts to restore the old Soviet Union under a new Russian Federation.
他的行为被广泛地解释为试图重建以新的俄罗斯联邦为领导的苏联。
In February of 2014 Putin allegedly invaded Ukraine and annexed the city of Crimea while denying any russian involvement in the military operation.
2014年2月，普京被控入侵乌克兰，吞并了克里米亚，但是却否认俄罗斯参与了任何军事行动。
In response Russia was ejected from the g8 making it the G-7.
作为回应，俄罗斯被从G8集团中剔除，成为G7。
Additionally the EU enacted broad sanctions against Russia,but besides bringing down the value of the rouble,the sanctions have had little political influence.
此外，欧盟对俄罗斯实施了边境制裁，但是除了导致卢布贬值之外，这些制裁措施未产生任何政治影响。
Following the annexation NATO began a military build-up near the Russian border.
吞并克里米亚之后，北约开始在俄罗斯边境驻兵。
Putin responded by a leading national law again and preparing more than 1500 nuclear weapons for deployment.
作为回应，普京再次通过了一部全国法律，准备部署1500多枚核武器。
In April 2015 it leaks that Russia was prepared to respond to non-nuclear events, with nuclear weapons. This created dangerous uncertainty within the international community reminiscent up the original cold-war. In other ex-soviet countries like Georgia,Moldova and the Baltic states,tensions have been strained between pro and anti Putin groups. Some speculate that Russia plans to continue invading and annex those former countries. As a result of Russia's government controlling domestc media sources,their reporting has been recently referred to as information manipulation and mass hallucinations with no basis in reality. The East versus West standoff has dangerous implications for the rest of the world,especially as nuclear weapons come into play.
2015年4月，据悉俄罗斯准备用核武器向“无核运动”做出回应。这导致国际社会出现危险的动荡，导致冷战的气氛再次升级。在其他前苏联国家，比如格鲁吉亚，摩尔多瓦和波罗的海国家，支持和反对普京的团体之间关系非常紧张。有人猜测，俄罗斯计划继续入侵和吞并前苏联国家。由于俄罗斯政府控制着国内媒体资源，他们的报道被指信息操控和集体幻想。东方与西方之间的对峙对世界其他地区带来危险的影响，尤其是核武器开始发挥作用的时候。
The last Cold War lasted nearly half a century and many are hoping at this second round is quickly resolved before it turns from cold to scorching.
上次的冷战持续了近半个世纪，许多人希望第二次冷战能够在白热化之前得到解决。
