717 Words3 Pages

The final article analyzed is “PJ Crowley: Can Trump walk away after Syria air strikes?” published on BBC – the British public service broadcaster. The author of this article is PJ Crowley – a former US Assistant Secretary of State who will be able to provide a unique insight into the matter discussed than any British news reporter. Distinct from the first two articles, this one concentrates on the problem Trump counters with following the strikes, especially the damaged relationships with Russia and Iran. Crowley starts by reminding readers about the strike Trump ordered one year ago which failed to threaten Assad, explaining the reason why this second strike is necessary and supported by other national leaders. “Mr. Trump, Mrs. May and Mr. Macron have actually drawn a sharper red line than Mr. Obama did" that entails "no further use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war".

However, the biggest obstacle for Trump is Russia and Iran who are siding with Syria. The specific issue Crowley refers here is not the civil war in Syria that the U.S. is involved with, but the fact that no matter what Trump and his allies do, they seemingly cannot avoid conflicts with Russia and Iran who "consider Syria, and at least for now Mr. Assad's survival, as a vital interest.” This quote is placed right under a picture of Putin and Rouhani – Iran’s leader as an emphasis on how resilient and solid they are to protect Assad’s government, even if it means going against America, Britain, and France. In a larger context, Crowley applies frames of conflict (between two sides of the attack), human interest (how to save as many innocent people as possible, regardless of their nationality) and responsibility (Trump has difficult tasks to do after the

    1112 Words  | 5 Pages

    In his “9/11 Address to the Nation” the 43rd President of the United States of America, George W. Bush assures that America will not be affected by the unruly and evil attacks carried out on September 11th, 2001. The President drafted this speech to resist the impending fear and questioning that American citizens around the country would soon be consumed by. Because 9/11 was the most impactful, yet devastating terrorist attack on the United States to date, Bush was not able to derive his thoughts from others’ ideas and speeches, thus he was forced to dig deep and extract the emotions and thoughts aroused by the “despicable acts.” Much like any great leader, President Bush wanted to stress the importance of instilling a sense of pride and resilience in the country and fellow countrymen and women to come together and remain as one. As the head of the “brightest beacon of freedom and opportunity” President George W. Bush declares that the United States of America will “remain strong” and appear unaffected as the country continues to build and rebound from the senseless acts of terrorism and hate.

  • Is President Trump's Pervasive Threat Of Conformity Regarding The Iran Nuclear Deal

    577 Words  | 3 Pages

    This article is about President Trump’s pervasive threat of conformity regarding the Iran nuclear deal. He persistently pressures Iran to be decertified of the quarterly nonproliferation deal. Trump’s criticism of this case would question the credibility of the U.S. in terms of its worldwide political leadership and as an economic partner. In this article, the individual level of analysis was used to target Mr. Trump’s impulsive notion regarding the Iran deal. In Mr. Trump’s agenda of sabotaging the compliance certification, this “reckless choice on the Iran deal would also free Iran to resume unfettered nuclear activities and constitute a slap in the face to major powers- Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China” (page 2).
