Again with the nukes. It's not 1963 anymore (and thank God it's not, we'd still have nukes pointed at us in Cuba if you pansies were in charge then). Russia's arsenal is a fraction of what it once was and they don't want to get annihilated anymore than we do.
And nobody is planning on putting Western boots on the ground heading towards Moscow, I'm not sure where you guys keep getting this from. Also, F22's fly well in the cold.
Do you think that harsh diplomacy or detente lead to the end of the cold war. Almost every way I look at it Dentente had a much larger influence on the downfall of the USSR than anything else.
