Only superficially I think. The USSR and the West were ideological enemies before WWII. The fall of fascism did not solve their pre-existing differences.
Post-Halo 3, the main difference that could keep hostilities going are prejudices and distrust over post war intentions. There is no ideology to promote distrust though. It was destroyed by the Great Schism. Both of those aforementioned issues could be solved by increased co-operation and openness, which is what Thel and Hood are trying to start. It is just the initial post-war distrust and prejudice that has to be overcome. Unless, of course, someone like 'Telcam and the Servants of Abiding Truth come to power. Then you would have an ideology promoting distrust and hostility. Then you would have a problem.
