Overview of Soviet Strategy

Abstract

Perhaps the most important change in the overall equation of Soviet strategy that has taken place is the result of apparent improvement in Soviet military capabilities over the past 5 years. Thus, while Moscow's strategy in the past has been largely defense-except in terms of propaganda, subversion, and political warfare is likely that her newly acquired global mobility may tempt her to engage in some overseas military adventures. I would anticipate, unhappily, that we are going to have more problems with the Soviets in the seventies than we did with them in the fifties and sixties.
