Minimal Deterrence

Minimal deterrence involves the ability to respond to a nuclear attack with a minimal nuclear counterstrike. In contrast to mutual assured destruction, the counterstrike would not have the ability to destroy the attacker, but rather is intended to severely damage the attacker in order to deter an attack. It appears to be the nuclear posture that the People's Republic of China maintains toward the United States as well as the nuclear policy of India and Pakistan.
