Abstract
The INF Treaty and Germany, by Lothar Rûhl The USSR finally accepted the West's propositions, abandoning its own, which had become inadequate and even risky. In fact, the Treaty cannot be judged solely on its contents, but also on its European political, psychological and military context ; with what means can the NATO strategy be implemented ? Will the allies be able to modernize their régional nuclear forces in Europe ? It is certainly not politically advantageous to stress the negociations on short-range weapon Systems or to seek a third zero option. On the other hand, negociations on the USSR's conventional armament's supremacy seem indispensable ; this would avoid highlighting Germany's singular position in the allied defence System.
