Agent affair reminiscent of Cold War

In the US ten alleged Russian spies have been arrested. The news portal Balsas is not very surprised: "The scandal shows above all that Washington values actual relations above all the nice declarations. They are informed and have no intention of concealing this from Russia. Russia is smiling obsequiously at the West at present because it needs investments, and although everyone knows that Moscow is insincere the West is responding to President Dmitry Medvedev's outstretched hand. But it's just a show and not true foreign policy. This is evident in Russia's behaviour towards its neighbouring states, in its attempt to force the US out of Central Asia and in its secret support for Iran. The Russian secret service is no less active in the West than during the Cold War and the nuclear warheads of Russia and the US are still aimed at each other."
