Buuxi weedha soo socota: Bishii Agoosto 1990, Xukuumada Ciraaq ee Saddam Hussein
Gorbachev wuxuu taageeray cambaareynta madaxweyne Bush. Tani waxay keentay dhaleeceyn badan oo ka timid qalabka dawladda ee Soofiyeeti, kuwaas oo u arkay Xuseen inuu yahay xulaf muhiim ah Gacanka Faaris wuxuuna ka baqay nabadgelyada 9,000 oo muwaadiniin Soofiyeeti ah oo ku sugan Ciraaq, in kasta oo Gorbachev uu ku dooday in Ciraaq ay ahaayeen kuwa si cad u weeraray xaaladda. Bishii Nofeembar, Ruushku wuxuu taageeray qaraarkii Qaramada Midoobay ee oggolaaday in ciidanka Ciraaq laga saaro Kuwait. Gorbachev ayaa markii danbe ku tilmaamay in ay aheyd "qeyb ka mid ah siyaasada caalamka, markii ugu horeysay ee dowladaha awooda badan ay si wada jir ah uga shaqeeyaan xaalad dhibaato ah". Si kastaba ha ahaatee, markii Mareykanka uu ku dhawaaqay qorsheyaal lagu soo duulayo dhulka, Gorbachev wuu ka soo horjeestay, isagoo ku booriyay halkii xal nabadeed. Bishii Oktoobar 1990, Gorbachev waxaa la guddoonsiiyay Abaalmarinta Nabadda ee Nobel; wuu ku faraxsanaa laakiin wuxuu qirtay "dareen kala duwan" oo ku saabsan abaalmarinta. Ra'yi ururin ayaa muujisay in 90% muwaadiniinta Soviet-ka ay diideen abaalmarinta, taas oo si ballaaran loogu arkay inay tahay abaalmarin reer galbeedka iyo ka soo horjeedda Soviet-ka.
