Under terms of bilateral treaties and NATO and SEATO alliances, the U.S. also has the stand-by use of some 170 other air- and sea-bases. So effective has been this round-the-compass deterrent that the Soviets have made destruction of the U.S. base system a prime point of policy, have pursued it by threats against U.S. allies, by propaganda against U.S. forces, by subtle cajolery that puts destruction of bases foremost in any tantalizing disarmament offer...
