Some also fear that this demonstration of Russian assertiveness presages a new wave of such interventions, even a new Cold War. But this is unlikely, if for no other reason than that Russia lacks the economic and military means to sustain such efforts on multiple fronts.
也有一些人担心俄罗斯如此彰显魄力预示着新一波类似的干预，甚至新的冷战。但这是不可能的，如果仅仅从俄罗斯缺乏经济和军事方法在多条战线上保持同时出击这一点看的话。俄罗斯人民是否准备好为这一外交政策付出高昂代价也不清楚。
