But if you write about yourself mostly, then if you don't have conflict, then you create it. And the older I get, the more I realize that that's not a very smart way to do this.

“We could still have continued the arms race, but the arms race was pointless, and it was another reason we decided to start perestroika. It was senseless to continue to accumulate weapons. We had enough weapons to destroy life on Earth 1,000 times, and therefore it was very clear to us that the arms race could spiral out of control. A conflict could have started, as both the Americans and the Soviets realized, not out of a wrong political decision but because of a failure in the command-and-control systems.” StillsReasonEnoughEarthPoliticalDecisionRaceClearArmsConflictWeaponsDecidedCommandPointlessHad EnoughSpiralsArms RacePolitical DecisionsCommand And Control Author:Mikhail Gorbachev
