The Soviets were responding to a tougher stance taken by US President Ronald Reagan, including his proposal of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) in 1983.

SDI, a proposed space-based missile defense system, was not the only measure taken by the Reagan administration to beef up American military preparedness in the Cold War. When Ronald Reagan came into the office of President in January, 1981, he quickly moved away from the former policies of detente to what became known as the Reagan Doctrine. The Reagan Doctrine involved many policies targeted at reducing Soviet influence in the world and ending the Cold War by the projection of US power. In his first year in office (1981), Reagan announced his Strategic Modernization Program to ramp up and improve American military systems overall, plans to spend over 200 billion dollars over five years on bombers, cruise missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and more. So the USSR's weapons increases were, from their point of view, matching American plans to enhance military arsenals.

the covenant that god made with abraham was a unilateral (one-sided) promise from god to abraham. apart from anything abraham did, god was promising that he was going to bring about a great nation from abraham's offspring, and that the messiah (meaning "the anointed one") would come from abraham's descendants, as one through whom the whole world would receive favor from god. as god promised abraham, "through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed" (genesis 22: 18).

the "new covenant" was announced by jesus of nazareth, who had asserted that he was the "son of david" (and descendant of abraham) that fulfilled those promises to abraham. when jesus introduced the sacred meal that we now refer to as the lord's supper, as told his disciples in reference to the wine they drank, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you" (luke 22: 20). this "new covenant" through jesus was also a unilateral (one-sided) covenant. he gave himself in sacrifice for all people, without conditions attached. as his friend and apostle john later wrote, "he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 john 2: 2).

so the covenant with abraham and the "new covenant" ushered in by jesus are, in essence, connected as one covenant -- because jesus was saying he was the one promised to abraham that fulfilled that covenant and brought blessing to the world.
