...each other for fear of massive retaliation. Instead, he proposes a missile shield in concert with a dramatic reduction in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. But there?s nothing new or post-Cold War about this at all: President Ronald Reagan essentially proposed the same thing with his "Star Wars" scheme.
