United States and Russia After the Cold War
After taking oath of office in January 1989, President George H. Bush was determined to strengthen the new found relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. His administration reviewed the United States policy towards the countries of the Eastern bloc. In 1991, he met president Mikhail Gorbachev of Russia in Moscow to sign the Second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START II) between the two countries. The two countries agreed to ratify the treaty and developed a framework through the third Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Miasnikov, 2000).

In 2002, President Vladimir Putin and his United States counterpart George W. Bush signed the Moscow Treaty, a nuclear disarmament treaty that saw the two countries agree to reduce their deployed operational war heads between 1700 and 2000.
In 1994, the United States and Russia announced a joint mission to the space. According to Wenger & Zimmerman (2003), the first Russian aboard the United States space shuttle was Sergei Krikalev. Subsequently, they engaged in more than 10 joint space missions between 1994 and 2000.

It is true that the post-WWII period has been more peaceful, but it is not because of a fundamental transformation in the way international politics works.

This strategy, along with an "old-fashioned slap shot" - which was "drilled home...by Bill Baker of the University of Minnesota, in front of a crowd of 4,000 that half-filled the new field house" in Lake Placid. Only half full meant that perhaps most American Winter Olympics' fans didn't think the U.S. had a chance, and didn't buy the tickets because of that. Eskenazi went on to explain that on the

Currently the United States consumes more than 19.6 million barrels of oil per day, which is more than 25% of the world's total oil consumption.
