Arms control

US Creates a threat of nuclear war on Russia 2019 official symmetrical response

The 2019 official 'giving up' on talks with US and the West to achieve cooperative arms control in the face of intermediate and shorter range missiles being put adjacent to Russia. Plus a proposed anti missile shield placed in Europe to protect USA.

The Time Has Come
A log of Russia's search for peace from 'strategic stability' with the USA and NATO - from intercontinental nuclear weapons to space-based weapons, short range cruise missiles and more. It includes the official transcript of President Putin's landmark 2018 speech on Russia's efforts to stop NATO's reckless intention to place nuclear armed hypersonic cruise missiles directly on Russia's borders.

The Time for Arms control has NOT come
The counter argument to the above. 

Mutually Assured Destruction, the Prelude to Mutually Assured Security
A very condensed backgrounder to how the two major nuclear powers came to a balanced peace through the threat of mutual annihilation. It includes Russia's official policy on the use of nuclear weapons (2020). and the 2024 amended policy (in response to US irresponsible nuclear first strike policy).

Discusses the 'world island' concept of McKinder and later variants, and the barren idea of 'containing Eurasian powers in order to strangle their economic development and break up into small statelets with puppet governments. The blow back, the unintended consequences.
