Do You Think the US Is in a Cold War?

The administration was slow, to a be willing to provide weapons, and very cautious with respect to the weapons before the war started. I think that there have been several instances in which the administration's actions on particular kinds of sanctions have actually followed pressure from the congress. The chinese are now the largest trading partner in virtually every country in latin america,. similarly in africa. So our economic and security assistance to the middle states is really important. We need to get them more on our side. And that means more non military means, but also security assistance.
