MOSCOW, July 2 (UPI) -- Russia criticized a newly-published U.S. military strategy, referring to it as confrontational and lacking objectivity toward Russia.
The 24-page 2015 National Military Strategy of the United States (NMS), prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the Secretary of Defense to outline the armed services' military objectives, was released earlier this week. It notes Russia "had repeatedly demonstrated that it does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbors and it is willing to use force to achieve its goals," adding that "Russia's military actions are undermining regional security directly and thorough proxy forces."
