Russian Goals in Syria Defined by Timing

Quick and decisive actions taken by Russia in the Syrian issue have put lots of questions about the goals and motives of Russia’s strongman Vladimir Putin.

Abstract

The historic incident of the U.S attack on the Iraqi Ba’arthist troops headed by Saddam Hussein on 1991 and the annexation of the country in 2003 have generated different debates on the actual intention of the stakeholders. Critics in favor of America’s action opine that these incidents were actually moral projects undertaken by America in order to release the Iraqi civilians from the claustrophobic ambiance prevailing in the country because of the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. These critics believe that America took over the ethical duty to organize the law and order of Iraq and establish a democratic ...

Fourteen years after the Twin Towers terrorist attacks in New York City, questions linger about the wisdom of sending American troops to Iraq almost immediately afterward. Was the decision to go to war against Iraq justifiable, or has it proved to be a pointless, costly war with disastrous consequences? The incontrovertible evidence has shown that the Iraqi War fits the latter definition for three distinct reasons. It is my opinion that the American-led invasion of Iraq was a bad decision because it was unjustifiable to begin with, caused sectarian violence that has still not abated, and has been costly in terms ...

This paper presents an argument in favor of a United States sponsored full-scale invasion with troops, into Iraq and Syria, for the purpose of confronting ISIS.

After the counter argument reviews the situation, its stance shall be revoked, and the argument in favor of U.S. invasion shall ensue.

The Indian and Pakistani governments, rejecting world opinion to the contrary, continued the testing of nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons are a big threat to international security. Often the weapons have been used as instruments of mass destruction, by countries bent on violation of the liberal international relations. India and Pakistan have continued to test nuclear weapons in disregard to the world opinion going, further, even enriching their nuclear heads. Neither India nor Pakistan, however, has been involved in nuclear war with any state in history. This is irrespective of the global phobia, over the prospects of abuse of these weapons by outside forces, particularly in global terrorist activities looking real. This leads us to the following hypotheses: ...

- Introduction

The Cuban missile crisis was a major test for Western civilization in the 1960s because it was the time when the world faced the possibility of nuclear war. The Soviets were determined to establish their power and influence in the western hemisphere because they could easily attack the United States since this was the heights of the Cold War. Both the U.S and the Soviet Union believed that their actions were civilized, and so it was difficult for either of them to change their course. The United States believed that it had to protect and preserve Christian democratic ideals, while ...

Art is construed to be a reflection of society; meaning it addresses the many aspects of lives of people in a society.

Guy de Maupassant story “Boule de Suif” is about the war between French and German troops. This essay explores how the moral landscape in “Boule de Suif” is similar or differs with that in “A ...

1) Why does Fussell “thank God” for the atom bomb? What role does his own experience of history play in shaping his views as an historian?

Fussell recounts (Fussell, 452) that an invasion was planned for Japan which would have resulted in an enormous number of civilian and military deaths from all sides. Former Pfc. E.B. Sledge is quoted in Fussell’s article as writing, “[Every Japanese] soldier, civilian, woman, and child would fight to the death with whatever weapons they had, rifle, grenade, or bamboo spear.” Fussell himself was destined to be part of that invasion, ...

This essay addresses the following historical question: Is it possible for states to have a foreign policy with an ethical dimension?

The second important driving force of states within the international system is relative gain in terms of economics, politics, and social values in comparison with other players within the international system.

INTRODUCTION

Living in the modern era most human beings are more aware of how their bodies work, how to endorse health, or lack thereof, and much more about the toxins, pathogens, and diseases that can destroy their quality and quantity of their lives.

The lymphatic system is made of a “network” of organs and tissues that participate in protecting the body from invading germs, preventing infections throughout the body, contributes to white blood cell ...

However, the other side would not give in easily, causing many to flee their countries and one of these countries is Iraq. Aside from the civilians who are caught in the cross fire, there are those who seek ...

Japan and Germany

Japan and Germany Before World War 2, Japan and Germany had certain similarities in their foreign relations and domestic policies, which will be discussed in this paper. It is arguable why the two countries found themselves as allies together with Italy in world war two, but there is a great possibility that if the two countries had been neighbors, they would have fought each other because of their similar foreign policies. However, due to their distance between each other and their similar foreign policies, they were allies in the Second World War. This is because they found themselves fighting ...

Introduction

The shared history between America and Mexico can be dated back during the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836, and the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. As a result, several treaties had been signed in culminating differences between the two nations. For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Gadsden Purchase comprise some of the agreements made between the two nations. In the 19th century, America claimed Louisiana as part of its territory and was rightfully acquired during the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. These confrontations resulted into conflict as Spain opposed to the America's claim, stipulating that the western boundaries ...

Louis Riel is one of the greatest leaders of the Metis- descendants of the indigenous Indian population, mostly French immigrants.

War in Iraq, is one of the controversial events in history of American wars. It takes two to tango, and this is the case of the war in Iraq. For a war to start there should be some driving forces or effects. The justification for the Iraq invasion remains quite unclear despite the prior consequences that came with the war. The invasion was suggested to have begun following the 9/11 attack of World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001. Americans attacked Iraq in 2003 and toppled Saddam’s dictatorship, and seven years later the war came to end (Mahnken and ...

Numerous theoretical perspectives try to explain the state of Iraqi before and after the United States invasion in 2003. Most importantly, the western assumptions are biased towards the leadership and governance of Iraqi. As a result, the theories have created mixed symptoms and the causes of ethnic conflicts and sectarianism does not have evidence to approve the underlying assumptions. In my opinion, I argue that, the assumptions and biases of the western have played a large role to convince the society that Iraqi government is responsible for the suffering of its citizens. The United States of America have itself failed to ...
