The Iceberg War

Those who only rely on the archived information identify the beginning of a new conflict between Russia and the United States to be November 2013 but the fact is that the fall of the Soviet Union did not cause any radical change in Moscow's foreign policy and this means that the existence of the dispute had never gone, but has only been frozen for a short time. 
What ended the period of frozen conflict has certainly been Russia's extensive intelligence espionage against the United States. The espionage happened before the Ukraine's crisis and has certainly been the most disturbing signal that has been sent by Russia to the United States since three decades ago. Although the extent of this espionage was only limited to the United States of America and Microsoft operating systems, the depth and breadth of this intelligence was such that has not only deeply concerned Washington but also the European powers.
Certainly, as long as Moscow does not deter from pursuing its current and traditional global policies, the only thing that can guarantee the irrevocability of Russia to a dangerous status is that of undermining Moscow. But we cannot deny the fact that there is not the capacity for a long Cold War against the Russians. Therefore, a covert war against the Russian power bases that can be called the 'Iceberg War' because nine-tenths of the icebergs are under water and only one-tenth of them are visible can be a good alternative, and an always-available possibility.
