What was Bush’s strategy in dealing with the Soviet Union?

1 answer

Bush's strategy in dealing with the Soviet Union was known as "cooperation and competition." This approach involved working with the Soviet leadership on areas of mutual interest, such as arms control and reducing the risk of nuclear war, while also maintaining a strong stance against Soviet aggression and advocating for human rights and democratic reforms within the Soviet bloc. This strategy ultimately contributed to the peaceful end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
