Part of your game-theory thinking should be whether or not the Soviet threat was as severe as described, IMO.

Capability trumps intention in strategic rationality. You can't be suggesting the USSR lacked thermonuclear capability?

Capability in that context is a question of scale (and $5.7B buys a lot of schools.)

You can't threaten to obliterate a global competitor with a lot of schools.
-
If you're already capability-overmatched then you're wasting money. (And over a long game, you _totally can_.)

Yes, that's reasonable. Public Choice interference with pure strategy more than likely.
