U.S. Lags in Military Balance Warned by Study
A Library of Congress defense expert warns Congress that the United States is losing the strategic balance with the Soviet Union. The 218 page study critiques deterrence assumptions, notes Soviet gains since 1970, and questions U.S. reliance on bigger budgets over strategy. It highlights weak legs of the triad, Soviet cruise missiles, and growing threats to NATO and U.S. naval power, urging policy reform.
