| | This inability of "the Allies" to keep agreements and even agree on when [[World War II]] ended marked the beginning of the [[Cold War]]. Now [[President Trump]] by official proclamation declares May 8 "Victory Day". This is highly insulting to Russian families who made the sacrifice and lost family in the war. Trump knows this, or should know this. Unfortunately, it unofficially marks the beginning of [[Cold War II]], and is readily an admission of President Trump's failure to keep his promise to end the NATO [[proxy war]] in 24 hours or 100 days. Biden's War, begun by [[Obama]] in 2014, is now Trump's war. [[Bannon]] was right. | | This inability of "the Allies" to keep agreements and even agree on when [[World War II]] ended marked the beginning of the [[Cold War]].

| − | Bottomline: Trump didn't have to make a formal proclamation, but he did anyway. Going forward, the Russians can only interpret this as bad faith out of spite. Between [[FDR]] saying "no separate peace" Papa Bush saying "not one inch east", the Russians have no confidence in Western, UK, or American words, written or oral promises.
