What worries me is that it's laying the groundwork for a war by getting the public mind attuned to the evil red empire all over again. This, for me, is to generate/protect defence spending following the withdrawals from Afghanistan and Iraq and to give the Pentagon a new mission. The cold war lasted almost 50 years with massive defence spending. Add to this noxious mix the Russian switch to a new global currency - BRICS that shifts the emphasis away from the dollar - and that must really worry the US in the longer term.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
