NATO and US aim for tighter talks on arms limits
In a call for steady resolve, the piece argues for forward looking negotiations in SALT II, the European security conference and MBFR talks. Unilateral strength cuts risk eroding deterrence, while NATO must bolster conventional forces and shelter defenses to deter a Soviet advance. Western allies have doubled defense spending since 1965, supplying the bulk of European defense manpower and matériel. The author warns against rapid troop withdrawals that would invite aggression and urges maintaining a strong stance to support sustained bargaining.
