FURTHERMORE, A NUMBER OF RECENTLY PUBLISHED STUDIES SUSTAIN THAT THE BALANCE OF THE NUCLEAR THEORY IS NOT THE ONLY EXPLANATION OF THE LACK OF AN APOCALYPTIC WAR THE ANALYSIS OF THE NUCLEAR TRIAD, THE SKELETON OF THE MILITARY POWER OF THE MILITARY SUPERPOWERS WILL ALWAYS BE SUPPLEMENTED BY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE NON-STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE RESONANCES OF THE LACK OF POLITICAL AND LEGAL GUARANTEES OF MISSILE SHIELDS.
