Trump and Putin Signal End of Post-Cold War Era
Fyodor Lukyanov’s recent analysis at RT.com argues that the Cold War’s resolution was defined by the collaborative efforts of Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. Their engagement culminated in the disarming of the Cold War’s adversarial legacy, ultimately allowing the United States to consolidate a unipolar global order under its hegemony. Today, Lukyanov observes, the post-Cold War era is reaching its culmination, with the actions of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin indicating a shift toward multipolarity. This transition is marked by the reestablishment of the Moscow-Washington axis as a pivotal force in the geopolitical landscape.
