He then asked me whether
this meant that WE were not in
tending to fight a preventive
war while we still had a mo-
nopoly of the atomic bomb. I
asked him how long he thought
it would take us to mount an
offensive near enough to Russia
to drop enough atomic bombs
on enough places to be decisive.
He thought it would certainly
take several months. What then
did he think the Russians would
be doing in the mean time?
They will be occupying Paris,
he replied.
We're these not the answers to
his questions: That the Rus
SLAMS can ruin Europe and that
the Americans can ruin Russia,
and that this is a military stale
mate which only a criminal
lunatic would attempt to upset?
