Modest plan for arms cuts amid Cold War tensions
The piece argues that a frank arms control treaty is unlikely to gain Senate approval due to historical Soviet behavior. It proposes a bold halfing of all nuclear arsenals, plus the creation of international guardians to supervise disarmament, aiming to reduce danger while preserving enough force to deter. The author warns against overreliance on past treaties and emphasizes a cautious, hawkish stance on Soviet behavior.
