Abstract

What Happens after Reykjavik?
Raskin, Marcus | December 6, 1986 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the meeting in Reykjavik between U.S. President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in relation to peace and anti nuclear weapons. The peace movement should force nuclear strategists who argue for first-strike scenarios, extended deterrence and other bleak fantasies, and who develop rationalizations for each new weapon as it is produced, to explain where they think their strategies are taking American society and the world. The peace movement must blow the whistle on any attempt to use arms control as a means to build up conventional forces, which will only exacerbate tensions in Europe and increase the chances of U.S. military intervention in the Third World.
