The Case for Removal of U.S. Non-Strategic Nuclear Forces from Europe.

Abstract

A number of circumstances have emerged since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 that tend to diminish the "value added" of U.S. non-strategic nuclear forces based in Europe. This paper examines these factors and concludes that U.S. non-strategic nuclear forces are no longer required for the security of Western Europe, provide a significant impediment to Russian-American cooperative engagement efforts and, as such, should be withdrawn.
