IS THE COLD WAR BACK

摘要

DURING THE HEIGHT OF TENSIONS WITH IRAN LAST year, the United States conducted an unprecedented series of war games. Over five months, from May until the end of September, 93 separate military exercises were held, with forces operating continuously in, above and around 29 countries. The games, which practiced everything from ground platoon tactics to cyber warfare, weren't held in the Mideast and weren't directed at Tehran. They were directed against Moscow—and constituted the most intense, uninterrupted set of drills since the end of the Cold War.
