Has threat of nuclear weapons automatically meant a potential cold war, especially without verifying (explicit) connection between the threat and the main topic? I'm doing my best to ensure and prolong the "term" treat of this topic and to assure readers about the topic's status as a "term", not an "event". I don't think the press and academics would perceive a nuclear bombing as the start of a new cold war unless they're willing to, would they? George Ho (talk) 21:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Statements by Putin and Peskov on the new cold war

This information was reverted, with the following edit summary: "okay. I think, without consensus, it's best not to include threats of nuclear weapons as default exemplification of this topic. this would lead readers into thinking the topic is an actual "event"". One of the main actors and policy-makers is openly talking about a new cold war. Not sure why it was removed?
In July 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of a Cold War-style missile crisis and threatened to deploy long-range missiles within striking distance of the West after the United States announced its intention to deploy in Germany from 2026 long-range missiles that could hit Russian territory within 10 minutes.[1][2] Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: "We are taking steady steps towards the Cold War."[3] The United States' decision to deploy long-range missiles in Germany has been compared to the deployment of Pershing II launchers in Western Europe in 1979.[3][4] US weapons in Germany would include SM-6 and Tomahawk cruise missiles and developmental hypersonic weapons.[4]
Hmm... Only (translated words of) Dmitry Peskov's statement can be included if there's any value to such inclusion. Other sources still don't treat US deployments of nuclear weapons as start of a new cold war. Then Al-Jazeera article would be the only article to use. Unsure about this source, that source. From what I see, Peskov was just critical about US deployment of such weapons and sparking emotions when mentioning the start of a new cold war. George Ho (talk) 00:41, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
