Details
Published on Wednesday, 12 June 2013 17:49

The adviser says - "without the irrational threat of retaliation there is no point having nuclear weapons at all". This is consistent with the Top Secret Duff Mason report (December 1978) which recognised that retaliation would be "an act of rage and revenge .... serving no rational purpose (page 5, page 6)
