Deterrence by Means of Mass Destruction.

The article cites two points on nuclear deterrence and a specific proposal based on those points. The first point that the author wants to cite is that deterrence through the threat of mutual assured destruction is not the best strategy for the United States. The second point is that to accept the threat of mutual assured destruction, would mean the creation of mass and deadly weapons. Reducing the level of overkill without requiring or producing any change in the strategy of nuclear deterrence is proposed by the author.
