"In "The West Needs an Arms Race" (op-ed, July 7), Yulia Latynina writes, "The West must build precision weapons that can take out Russia's nuclear silos -- and let Mr. Putin know that they aren't afraid to use them." But there's good reason to fear such an action: Russia's nuclear forces, like America's, are not solely placed in silos. Any attempt to target Russian silos, even if successful, would unleash hundreds, if not thousands, of nuclear weapons at America (and at Lithuania (K.)).
The U.S. isn't displaying weakness when it considers Russia's nukes. It is dealing with the facts, regardless of whether we like those facts.
