Putin Calls for Response to US ?Threat?

"Addressing newly-promoted military and security officers, Mr Putin said new US military bases in eastern Europe and the failure of Nato countries to ratify an updated version of a Cold War treaty capping levels of conventional forces in Europe were threats to Russian security. 'One of our absolute priorities is an all-round strengthening of the armed forces,' Mr Putin told the Kremlin gathering. He listed not just terrorism but US military plans among 'global threats' to be tackled." Putin is afraid he is next on Busco's regime change list...but a revival or the Cold War is a more likely goal...it was such an effective propaganda tool for so many years.
