Description
Here are the 1985 & 1987 editions of U.S. intelligence estimations of Soviet Military strength. Included is a 1984 Soviet counterpart. The former are matter-of-fact reports, while the latter focuses on Soviet arguments regarding "American Imperialism." It is actually comical to read such staid rhetoric, such as, "Like the tentacles of a gigantic octopus, American imperialism's bases — springboards for aggression — reach to all corners of the globe." It also highlights "...first-strike strategic weapons (M-X and MIDGETMAN)..." If you think that was a mistaken reference to the Minuteman reference, I guarantee you it was intended. ANYWAY. you can set it is an entertaining read.
