This article will explain the recent renewal of the Cold War policy by the United States (US) against Russia through Colour Revolutions and regime change. Far from being a new strategy, it is the revival of geopolitics that blends with geo-economics in order to forestall a far more serious decline of the US, especially in terms of its global hegemony. This "new" policy is based on the old post-World War I US strategy of preventing a deepening economic relationship between Russia and Germany, or a Russia-China pact.
