Concept explainers
Disarming (H). Two nuclear superpowers decide to disarm and agree to reduce their arsenals by 3% per year. Each superpower lists the weapons in its arsenal and gives its own assessment of the value of each of its weapons as a percentage of its total arsenal. For example, Power A might declare that a particular submarine is worth 0.6% of its arsenal. The superp owers switch lists. Each superpower can require the other power to destroy any collection of weapons that add up to 3% in the eyes of the other power. Why would each superpower feel they are getting the better deal?
