What makes you think so? Soviet and communism is gone, Russia is embracing capitalism.No. I think that the USA and Russia will be on the verge of confrontation in the near future and through the 2020's. Call it Cold War 2. That will last until Russia's demographic issues and decreased reliance on fossil fuels pushes them aside.

Why would Russia and the US be "on the verge of confrontation"?
The relationship is better than ever; Russian and NATO forces are training together; RUssia buys Mistral from France, etc.
Some people both in US and Russia lives "in the past" and they are IMHO the main reason we sometimes see friction between Russia and the US. Otherwise I don't see why Russia and US should clash?
