End of a Lull? – European Deterrence in the Putin Era

Summary/Abstract: Western Europe was saved from Soviet domination through a policy of nuclear deterrence. East and Central Europe was freed from its Soviet prison when US changes to the basis of that deterrence forced the Soviet Union into making economic and political changes of which it quickly lost control in order to compete in a qualitative arms race that in reality it could not win. Both halves of Europe benefitted massively from deterrence.
