Remarks argue the United States cannot halt Russian nuclear buildup. Critics claim budget failures or treason, but the author contends both sides will continue advancing arsenals with mutual destruction possible, echoing Kennedy era deterrence yet acknowledging changed dynamics.
Nuclear arms balance cautions against excess spending
The report to the president notes the Soviet Union has more heavy ICBMs, but the United States holds more warheads due to MIRVs and an overwhelming bomber force.

SALT aims to spare both sides from unnecessary weapons, revealing weaknesses in conventional arms and Western Europe containment. The right wing’s focus on impossible gains wastes time.
