The Defense Monitor
Volume 1, 2000
In light of the former Soviet Union's costly and deteriorating weaponry,
Russia has proposed reducing by half the number of warheads that may be
deployed by the U.S. and Russia under the START III agreement. This
proposal would limit the number to 1,500 warheads for each side.
The U.S. has balked at the proposal, arguing that this low number would
jeopardize nuclear deterrence. However, the more likely reason has to do
with Washington�s plan to go ahead with its National Missile Defense
program, a plan that most NATO countries perceive as inherently
destabilizing. The U.S. is capitalizing on Russia�s weakened defense
posture to pressure them into accepting modifications of the 1972 ABM
Treaty which would allow the U.S. to go ahead with the NMD program without
violating the ABM Treaty.
