National Post/Washington Post: Missile for missile, tank for tank: Putin says he will match any Western military buildup in Eastern Europe

MOSCOW — Russia would swiftly respond to any moves by the United States to build up military resources in Eastern Europe by fortifying its western border with more troops, tanks, planes and missile systems, a defense official told the Russian press on Monday.

The Pentagon is considering plans to store heavy weaponry, tanks and other vehicles in the Baltics, American officials said Saturday. If that happens, Russia would view the moves as “the most aggressive step since the Cold War,” Russian army Gen. Yury Yakubov told the Russian news service Interfax.
