"The risk of further [nuclear] proliferation is imminent and, with it, the danger that nuclear war fighting, albeit limited in scope, might become possible," the authors argued in the 150-page blueprint for urgent reform of western military strategy and structures.

Stumble It!
It has been presented to the PENTAGON in Washington…………………
Where it no doubt had its roots, interesting that it should be presented to the US military before even being considered by NATO and the governments involved. Nato indeed needs to be reviewed but not with advice from this lot.
Anyone who thinks that one can stop Nuclear Proliferation by using said instruments of war is indeed totally nuts, even the publication of such an idea increases the desire of those who do not have this “deterrent” to obtain it!
