This not only increasing their confidence and influence, but it settled the issue of leadership, putting the US deep state into the hands of George H. W. Bush.

Cold War	1947	26 September 1991	The official narrative had 2 diametrically opposed systems locked in combat with one another since soon after WW2. Each of the "superpowers" and its team of allies needed to outdo each other by creating ever more and deadlier weapons, creating a kind of perpetual war for perpetual peace, with the warring parties engaging mainly in covert/proxy wars. Deep state interests blossomed in the climate of fear and paranoia.

In fact it may well have been the outworking of a deeper political power struggle at work.
Guillaume affair	1973	1974	Günter Guillaume, a personal assistant of Willy Brandt was exposed as an East German spy, and led to Brandt's resignation as West German Chancellor.
