World News Russia to pull out of key arms treaty; US stokes militarism

Citing US plans for missile defense systems in Eastern Europe, Pres. Vladimir Putin has announced Russia will withdraw from a treaty, seen as the cornerstone of stability in Europe, that limits troop deployment and conventional weapons. Putin accused the US of a plot to build up its military forces in the region, rejecting US claims the shield is to defend against attack by Iran. Putin has quadrupled defense spending and plans a new class of ballistic missiles, while the US has resisted Russian proposals for mutual nuclear weapons reduction.
