[Peace] In opposition to mutual self destruction, an alternative.

[Brussel, Morton K]

The problem, as I see it, is a basic antagonism to the “other”. Maintaining and striving for hegemony. Not a multipolarity of counterbalancing nations.  I doubt that the protagonists truly seek “stability”.
The problem lies with militarism in general;  that sector does not favor a defensive strategy. They doubt it could ever be effective.

My feeling is that it’s hopeless with the present lineup, in the USA especially.  We must be #1. Needed are revoluionary changes in governmental élites to affect current strategic thinking.
“We" would need real informed democracy in the nations involved, which do not currently exist (or have ever existed?).

All this is aside from the fantastic, probably insuperable,  technical problems of realization of the system described. "Star Wars" were shot down for valid reasons.

Sorry …. I suppose it’s worth while speculating.

The author is a longtime friend, and while I prefer “no more nukes,” he offers a possible alternative, that maybe a compromise worth exploring.
