The Cold War Is Over, But Cold War Thinking Survives.

But The Nuclear Powers Still Cling Tenaciously To Their Weapons.

The Chief Task Was To Stop The Arms Race Before It Brought Utter Disaster. However, After The Collapse Of Communism And The Disintegration Of The Soviet Union, Any Rationale For Having Nuclear Weapons Disappeared.
