New NATO chief's take on relations with Russia

Reuters reports that the new Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg is seeking constructive relations with Russia. According to Mr. Stoltenberg, the recent vamp up of military presence along the alliance's eastern border is in line with all the ramifications and international agreements that the alliance has made. At the same time, Stoltenberg believes that NATO will respect international agreements including the ones made with Moscow after the fall of the Soviet Union, regarding Western military deployments in former Soviet bloc states. As a Norwegian anti-war activist and politician, Stoltenberg has had a history of constructive deal-making with the Russian side. Currently, he is visiting Warsaw, which will be the host of a 2016 NATO summit.
