Which inference does this excerpt from President Ronald Reagan's speech
support?
The defense policy of the United States is based on a
simple premise: The United States does not start fights.
We will never be an aggressor. We maintain our strength in
order to deter and defend against aggression to preserve
freedom and peace. Since the dawn of the atomic age,
we've sought to reduce the risk of war by maintaining a
strong deterrent and by seeking genuine arms control,
Deterrence means simply this: making sure any adversary
who thinks about attacking the United States, or our allies,
or our vital interests, concludes that the risks to him
outweigh any potential gains.
- Ronald Reagan, 19832

From that statement, it can be inferred that President Reagan's doctrine was that of Deterrence.

Explanation:

Deterrence theory states that a country can become so powerful tat engaging in war with ti assures the destruction of the adversary. It can also applied to two or more countries, which means that these countries would never engage in a mutual war, because they would assure their mutual destruction.

This is exactly what happenend in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union: both countries had so much military power, and especially, nuclear power, that they preffered to avoid any direct confrontation.

What Reagan's speech is saying is that the U.S. should be so powerful, that no country on Earth would even think of starting a war with it.

c would be the correct !

hope this !

ngai (engai, enkai, mweai, mwiai) is the monolithic supreme god in the spirituality of the kamba and kikuyu of kenya.ngai is creator of the universe and all in it. the kikuyu worshiped ngai facing the mt. kirinyaga (mount kenya) while prayers and goat sacrificial rituals were performed under the sacred mugumo tree (a fig tree species). ngai often was referred to as "mwene nyaga" meaning (the owner of the mountain).

it means that maasai people think that mount kenya is something to be worshipped along with god.when cattle or children cause problems,maasai elders just warn them that children must mend their bad ways or their god might punish them.this serves as law and order tool to maintain peace among maasai tribe.the maasai are an indigenous ethnic group in africa of semi-nomadic people settled in kenya and northern tanzania. due to their distinct traditions, customs and dress and their residence near the many national game parks of east africa, the maasai are among the foremost african ethnic groups and are known internationally because of their links to the national parks and reserves.

traditional maasai people's lifestyle concentrates on their cattle which make up the primary source of food. amongst the maasai and several other african ethnic groups, the measure of a man's wealth is in terms of children and cattle. so the more the better.
