Fox News reports that “Russia has stepped up its military maneuvers to a level unseen since the height of the Cold War, according to a new report released by NATO Thursday.”  

“Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance’s secretary general and author of the report, noted that Moscow  has conducted at least 18 large-scale exercises over the past three years, ‘some of which have involved more than 100,000 troops.'”  

“Those exercises included several simulated nuclear attacks against NATO allies and partner nations, such as Sweden in March 2013.”
