Medvedev: No grounds for war with US

The Associated Press , Strelna | Thu, 10/02/2008 1:38 AM | World

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says there are no ideological grounds for a new Cold War, or any other kind of war, with the United States.

Russia's relations with the U.S. were already at a post-Cold War low when they were further damaged by Russia's war with U.S. ally Georgia in August. Russia has complained vehemently about what it says is a growing U.S. military presence near its borders.

But Medvedev said Wednesday that the Cold War was based on ideological differences between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. He said that no differences today are strong enough to spark similar conflict with the United States.
