Assymetrical response. It costs a lot less to slap multiple warheads on your nukes than it does to build high-falutin' and probably non-functional Star Wars systems.

Chris Doss The Russia Journal ------------------

-But nuclear weapons are good to threaten your enemy with destruction (ie., -assure you a stalemate in a total war). But they doesn?t help too much -as instrument of power projection, which is much more important when -two superpowers compete for global domination. Here a sizeable economy -and conventional weapons are of utmost importance.
