The major premises of ending the "Cold War" were ending the nuclear race, establishing trade and resulting peace.
Twenty years ago the news reported stories about a few billionaires in Russia, corruption, etc.
The two Germanies merged, peacefully. The Eastern Satellite nations became independent, free and successful, to varying degrees.

It was Clinton a few years ago, as Sec. of State, that pushed the "Rest button." To this date, I do not know what that was all about.

--Did Trump's operatives agree to continue peace?
--Did Trump's operatives agree to both try to defeat Islamic terror?
--Let's hear what you have.
