Brezhnev also unveiled what he termed a new Soviet "doctrine for peace and security" in the Persian Gulf. He called on the U.S., its NATO allies, China and Japan to agree not to set up military bases or deploy nuclear weapons in any of the oil-producing countries of the region. This was a direct challenge to the Carter doctrine, enunciated after the Afghan invasion; it pledged the U.S. to protect the gulf and adjacent sea lanes from any Soviet threat.

The female host unabashedly declared her intent to avoid nukes, playing right into Schmidt's hands. When she reached maximum solar and coal capacity, she had no choice but to play the purple petroleum cards on the board. Schmidt grimly pronounced, "Contratulations, you have just tripled the country's dependence on foreign...
