Russia flexing its muscles again

Russia , sensing NATO is overstretched in 5-7 fronts, is flexing its muscles. One has to remember the Cold War Era + the undeniable fact that Russia still has a NUCLEAR ARSENAL ALMOST EQUAL TO THE USA....in some areas , even greater.

This is adding to the already growing tension.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday rejected a NATO offer to hold a special conference on a key European arms pact and instead proposed working on a new agreement, local news agencies quoted a top defense ministry official as saying.

President Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday Russia would pull out of the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty, a landmark pact limiting post-Cold War military strength.

NATO said it was "very concerned" at the pullout and suggested Russia should join an extraordinary conference to discuss its concerns about the treaty.
