"So with the end of the Cold War, it became increasingly obvious that there was no basis upon which any decision was being made, not in the White House, and certainly because of that, not in the Congress"
- Malcolm Wallop
About this Quote
Malcolm Wallop's quote is describing the end of the Cold War and the absence of decision-making that followed. He is recommending that the White House and Congress were not making choices based upon any particular rationale. This might be analyzed as an absence of direction or purpose in the government, as the Cold War had been a major source of inspiration and assistance for many years. Wallop's quote implies that completion of the Cold War left the government without a clear purpose or direction, which this lack of instructions was reflected in the absence of decision-making in the White House and Congress. This could be viewed as a sign of an absence of leadership and an absence of instructions in the government, which could have had a negative effect on the country.
