There is little about the current state of things which is a "new cold war," for sure. But I worry that one major dynamic *could* be repeated. The US, unwilling to directly challenge a competing but inferior power, tries to find ways all around the world to combat its "influence"

I don't think we have same ideologies. But yes, the main difference for me is that, in the 20th century almost every country had a dedicated party that was ideologically aligned with Moscow. Where is the pro-Beijing party in Brazil, South Africa, Malaysia? Impossible

I don't know, I actually think it makes a certain amount of sense, mutatis mutandis (which may require a lot of mutanding). You have two powers with visions of a world order trying to leverage different kinds of power to get alignment of other states

Ideology was only one aspect of the first Cold War. It was mainly a competition between organized economic blocs. Far-flung competing material interests and hegemonic client systems + a lot of weaponry are enough to put the world in danger.
