Obama security plan highlights Russia threat - Nahal Toosi - POLITICO

Obama security plan highlights Russia threat - Nahal Toosi - POLITICO: President Barack Obama’s new National Security Strategy calls out Russia for its aggression against Ukraine and also puts heavy emphasis on climate change as a growing threat to peace, according to details shared with POLITICO.
