Russia links arms control treaty to NATO expansion

Russia, which is fiercely opposed to NATO's expansion toward its borders, suspended its compliance with the CFE treaty last December but remains a signatory.

Moscow says the treaty, designed to limit battlefield weapons, such as tanks and armoured vehicles, on either side of the old Iron Curtain, is a Cold War relic which gives too much scope for an enlarged NATO to beef up its forces.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Russia sees itself encroached economically and militarily by NATO.

It also has seen the outcome of US training of Georgian soldiers shortly before Georgia's colossally stupid military misadventure in South Ossetia.

Only a consummate dolt would believe, for one hot second, that Russia would be serenely calm about these events, and not fight back in any way short of a real shooting war.
