There is a fairly simple way to eliminate much of the destabilizing
effect of workable anti-missile defences, with the additional bonus
of solving the problem of where the funding comes from.  Pay for the
defense systems by scrapping 95% of the offensive nuclear arsenal.
The defensive systems will not become operational instantaneously,
but over a lengthy period; the same period can be used for gradually
scrapping offensive weapons.
