This is not hidden. It was the Pershing II missiles that put the final nail in the coffin for the Soviets - they just couldn't keep up with us technologically and were breaking their economy to try. There was a HUGE uproar when Bush the First withdrew tactical warheads (mostly cannon launched) from Europe, most of which were demil'ed/destroyed. The Brits held significant protests over basing nuke capable Ground Launched Cruise Missiles around the country.
And one should not overlook the fact that we are not a western European power, we are a global power....think about it
