It would mean guiding oneself in one’s relations with other countries not by reason, but by submitting to arbitrariness. You are no longer appealing to reason, but wish to intimidate us."</em>
Those were the difficult years of the Cold War in which the United States and the Soviet Union fought in the arms race and later on the space race. There were many moments were tensions were so high that the world was on the brink of another war.
