Putin: U.S. Policies Create Arms Race
MUNICH, Germany (AP) --
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Saturday that the United
States' increased use of military force is creating a new arms race,
with smaller nations turning toward developing nuclear weapons.
Speaking at a conference of the world's top security officials,
including the Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani, Putin said
nations "are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force in
international relations."
