Return of the Communist Threat
The News of the outcome of the Russian election caused a shockwave in the already contested 1996 Presidental Election. Bob Dole had won the Primaries, but many saw him as ill-equipped to lead the U.S. Military during a crisis such as this. Colin Powell and James Baker were tossed around as names who could lead the country, but only Bob Dole and Pat Buchannan had any interest in running. Independent Ross Perot had become a wild card, but getting any candidiate to enter the race, at this point. would be foolhardy. Bob Dole reminded people of his past and gained the trust of the Republican Party and was nominated on August 15, 1996.

Clinton would defeat Dole in a closely contested race. Clinton became a proponent of NATO's expansion overseas, which was opposed by Russia. On May 8, 1997,  the Treaty of Understanding was signed, creating an Alliance-Free Zone in Central Europe.
