Cold
War 2.0
Washington
is "initiating a new arms race" by deploying large-scale
troops to Europe, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria
Zakharova on Monday.
The U.S.
military buildup in Europe has "a powerful potential for
destroying the entire architecture of European security ...
threatening to trigger long-term destructive consequences in the
Euro-Atlantic region," she said in an online statement.
Washington
is trying to impose a confrontational model of relations reminiscent
of the Cold War, Zakharova added.
According to
her, the United States transferred to Poland an armored brigade,
consisting of about 4,000 troops and 2,500 combat hardware units,
earlier this month.
Starting in
January, 300 U.S. marines will be deployed to a Norwegian base. In
late March, a U.S. air brigade is expected to be deployed to Germany,
and a battalion tactical group will be deployed to Poland in April.
