...Short of that, the Soviets want to take the Western governments pay as high a political price as possible in internal dissension and conflict with one another in order to sustain a credible defense. Of particular importance in this effort is "the German card," that is, holding out the prospect of reunification of the two Germanies in exchange for a West German decision to leave NATO. As proposed in the 1950s in the Rapacki Plan, this and subsequent schemes for "nuclear free zones from Poland to Portugal" have foundered on the obvious fact that nuclear free schemes will not prevent...
