IN BRIEF: WORLD WAR III - Stanley R Rader - August 1980

Stanley R Rader

THE WORLD is a drastically different place now than it was just a few years ago. It is far more dangerous. It is far more unstable. The old "balance of power" which kept the world from going over the brink into nuclear annihilation is gone. After World War II, the central fact in world politics was that American military power reigned supreme. While the American monopoly on nuclear weapons lasted for only a short time, it was . clear that no one would dare threaten a nuclear war on the Western democracies because there would be a a massive response. In the harsh arena of global politics, this fact worked to preserve peace. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
