US-Russia Cold War Could Turn Into Hot War: James Jatras

Former Senior Foreign Policy Analyst James Jatras says that imposing further sanctions against Russia by the US could turn a Cold War situation between the two countries into a hot war.
Orwellian Zionist Shill UK Banned Press TV: “It is generally expected that President Obama will sign this new law, imposing additional sanctions on Russia and providing for military support to the government in Kiev,” Jatras told Press TV on Tuesday.
“This is a very very bad move. It will close the door on any possible de-escalation of the crisis,” he added.
The analyst made the comments after Congress on Saturday passed the "Ukraine Freedom Support Act."
The bill aims to put more pressure on Moscow by authorizing more sanctions on weapons companies and investors in its high-tech oil projects and to provide the Kiev government with extra military aid.

On Monday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that Obama had not yet decided how to respond to the bill.
Jatras also warned about Washington’s measures against Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine.
“This really runs the risk that what is increasingly a Cold War situation between the United States and Russia could turn into a hot war,” he said.

“The thinking behind this resolution if you want to call it that is the idea that if we can crank up the pressure on Russia and inflict greater harm on Ukrainians… the Russians will back down in a matter that is essential to their national security,” the analyst noted.
