Washington Times: Russia hungers for Ukraine
With North Korea continuing to draw world attention with its bellicose threats of launching nuclear ballistic-missile attacks against the United States and South Korea, we cannot afford to overlook what Russia has been doing.
While given scant coverage and basically no reaction from the Obama administration, Vladimir Putin’s Russia is taking an increasingly provocative stand against global U.S. interests, including probes of American air defenses, and Moscow is assuming a more assertive regional role from the North Pacific to the Middle East to Latin America. Likewise, Russia’s growing military relationship with China and Iran further exposes the folly of the Obama administration’s indifference to America’s shrinking strategic conventional and nuclear posture, to the detriment of our security and that of our allies.
