Introduction

“Since the dawn of the atomic age, we’ve sought to reduce the risk of war by maintaining a strong deterrent and by seeking genuine arms control. “Deterrence” means simply this: making sure any adversary who thinks about attacking the United States, or our allies, or our vital interests, concludes that the risks to him outweigh any potential gains. Once he understands that, he won’t attack. We maintain the peace through our strength; weakness only invites aggression.” President Ronald Reagan; https://essays.homeworkacetutors.com/write-my-essay/presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=41093 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
