There's been a lot of chatter lately comparing the Ukrainian Crisis with the Cold War. One of my friends is fed up with this analogy and plans on writing an op-ed illustrating the current situation is more along the lines of Great Power Rivalry of the 19th through early 20th Century. Peter Beinart sort of beat him to it with is
How the War on Terror Ends article.

Whether it's 1914 or 1938 all over again, what are we doing to counter Putin's seizing of the Crimea? As of now, we're sending
half-a-dozen F-15s plus a tanker to Poland. While this may seem like feeble gunboat diplomacy (to use a 19th Century term), it's something.
Hopefully, we'll do more for the Ukrainians than we did for the Hungarians in 1956, or the Czechs in 1968.
