Option présentée à la suite des critiques formulées par les membres européens de l'OTAN [Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord] au sujet de l'option zéro du président Reagan. Les Européens considéraient que la solution du président américain laissait aux Soviétiques un avantage considérable sur le plan des forces nucléaires de portée intermédiaire. Ils ont donc lancé l'idée d'une double option zéro prévoyant aussi le retrait de ces forces nucléaires de portée intermédiaire. 4, record 2, French, - double%20option%20z%C3%A9ro
