Soviet compared with the nuclear overdevelopment of. The superpowers he maintained any european nuclear forces in Prospect Are and their deterrent strength is very much less than that of the continuing confirmed commitment of the american forces in these words were clearly addressed to europeans who differ fundamentally with that appraisal and argue that a european deterrent is impera Tive because of the uncertainty of the continuing commitment of conventional and nuclear forces by the United states.
