A new generation of Russian and American politicians should revive the spirit of disarmament created by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986 after they called for a world free of nuclear arms at their meeting Reykjavik, Jack Matlock, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia said while presenting his new book in Washington. He regretted that the two countries had failed to pursue the sweeping reduction of their nuclear arsenals launched in those years. After the “cold war”, the United States viewed itself as the world’s only superpower free to do anything. This policy fueled confrontation and many opportunities were missed, the diplomat said.
