After peace talks fell apart, the NATO force in Macedonia was left awaiting new orders. Some troops have begun patrols along the 120-mile border with Yugoslavia. But their presence has touched off concerns that Macedonia could face retaliation from larger and more powerful Yugoslavia. Police cordoned off parts of Skopje to try to avoid a replay of Thursday's attacks of Western embassies and NATO personnel. The principle of the employment of nuclear weapons in combination with other means of destruction follows from the fact that it is impossible to destroy all varied objectives on the battlefield with nuclear weapons alone.
All warfare is based on deception.
Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. This weapon has unlimited range, enormous speed and high trajectory, great accuracy and maneuver of fire, and can carry a nuclear warhead of any yeild. Ballistic missiles, employed en masse, are still practically invulnerable to existing means of air defense, and their employment is almost independent of weather conditions. For the Soviet strategist nuclear war is not merely an exchange of nuclear strikes, but a military operation involving huge masses of infantry, tanks, and ships.
