...second session, held two days later at the U.S. mission, lasted just under two hours. It consisted mostly of exchanges of credentials and statements of position. Unlike the first session, the second involved Karpov's principal associates, Yuli Kvitsinsky and Alexei Obukhov. The two had sat out the opening meeting, apparently to underscore the Soviet position that the three "baskets" of arms issues under consideration must be resolved together...
...again for inflexibility, public posturing, insensitivity to the Europeans, lack of expertise, and political infighting. His longest discussion, on the so-called "walk in the woods" initiative undertaken by chief negotiator Paul Nitze, ends with a fizzle. This informal proposal, worked out exclusively between Nitze and his opposite number Yuli Kvitsinsk, would have "traded" deployment of the Pershing lls for a significant reduction of the SS-20s. Talbott describes with withering sarcasm the process by which the Administration repudiated Nitze's action, seeming to put the onus for stalemate on Washington. But he ends his chapter lamely with this...
After the words, the walkouts. "Everything is finished!" Soviet Negotiator Yuli Kvitsinsky proclaimed, as he stomped out of a meeting with his U.S. counterpart, Paul Nitze. Four days later, the U.S.S.R. broke off the Geneva INF (Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces) talks on limiting missiles in Europe. The U.S. "would still like to launch a decapitating nuclear first strike," Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov, the Soviet armed forces Chief of Staff, charged at a remarkable news conference, as he rapped a long metal pointer against a wall chart showing U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals...
...while, the tenuous two-year dialogue between the superpowers aimed at limiting the spread of intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe. The actual walkout from the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) talks had occurred the previous day at a 25-minute meeting in Geneva between Chief Soviet Arms Negotiator Yuli Kvitsinsky and his U.S. counterpart, Paul Nitze. Kvitsinsky had put the mildest face possible on the decision, saying only that the Soviets were "discontinuing the present round of talks" and would not be able to agree to a resumption date...
...negotiator in Geneva, Yuli Kvitsinsky, "If the U.S. really wants to go to zero, the U.S.S.R. is prepared to go to zero too, retaining only what it needs to offset the British and French forces." That would mean needs to offset the British and French forces." That would mean retaining about 250 Soviet bombers and missiles, including at least 162 SS-20s, while the U.S. would still have to forgo entirely its Pershing IIs and Tomahawks...
