    Nuclear weapons provide peace and stability.

    Nuclear logic does make a perverse sense. If you are confident your opponent would use overwhelming nuclear force, then attack them brings no possibility of victory and so to do so is completely pointless. As a result, you trust your opponent thinks in the same way about you.
    The problem is a lack of trust. When, in 1962 and 1983, each side doesn’t trust the other to act rationally, then you get dangerous misunderstandings and the perverse logic falls apart. The reason why a large war was not fought in Central Europe after 1945 between the blocs was because of diplomacy, but this was aided by the presence of nuclear weapons people promised to use in getting people to the table

      LOL not because the US has a comparable nuclear arsenal and an armed forces to the USSR and had the whole Western Europe in the NATO under its nuclear umbrella to deter the Russians from attempting anything?

      The Labour Party had struggled for quite a long time with nuclear weapons policy by 1987. Unilateralism had split the Bevanites in the late-1950s, Labour had carried unilateralism in the manifesto of 1983 and it was seen as one of the more absurd parts of the manifesto. The Tory policy saw not nuclear weapons as the issue, but the degree to which Britain’s deterrent is independent. It makes sense to focus on Labour because they are the ones proposing to change policy at this time. They therefore have the much more interesting angle

    I was stationed in Wolfenbuttel which was close to the East German border. When the wall came down I was the first British soldier to cross Abenrodde into what was enemy territory in East Germany. A German friend made my crossing possible as non Germans at the time were not allowed to visit at the time. I still have the DDR visum stamp in my passport. A court martial offence at the time? Probably.
