In A Flashback To Cold War Days, Pentagon Announces Plan To Deploy Troops Along Russian Border

As tensions continue to escalate between Russia and the West, the Pentagon has announced plans to deploy U.S. troops, armed with modern equipment and heavy artillery, full time along NATO’s eastern borders.

The so-called “European Reassurance Initiative,” will be the first such deployment since the Cold War ended, The Wall Street Journal reported. Its purpose: To deter Russian aggression while serving to reassure Western allies of U.S. commitment to the region.
