No boby wants to agree with us, but Russia is lighting the new Cold War and the US will add the fuel.
MOSCOW (AFP) - The Russian senate voted Friday to suspend compliance with a key Cold War treaty limiting conventional military forces across Europe, drawing renewed Western criticism.
The unanimous vote in the upper house Federation Council followed last week's decision in the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, to freeze Moscow's participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty from December 12.
The 1990 CFE treaty places strict limitations on the deployment of tanks and other military hardware across Europe.
