The Pros And Cons Of Russian President-Elect Trump

189 Words1 Page

After laying down sanctions and kicking Russian diplomats out of the U.S., President Obama’s actions have incurred an uncommon response from the Kremlin. Russian President Vladimir Putin, against standard methods, did not retaliate “in kind” to the punishment dealt by Obama. It was widely assumed Russia would also expel U.S. diplomats, especially given comments made by top officials from the Russian Government. In a calculated response, Putin decided to ignore the lame duck President and “plan” for the Trump Presidency instead of engaging in “irresponsible ‘kitchen’ diplomacy” and using “the right to retaliate.” President-Elect Trump weighed in on the situation encouraging the need for the “country to move on” but insisted he would, in

  • Summary Of Mandate By Michael Wolff

    1396 Words  | 6 Pages

    The highly controversial book by Michael Wolff highlights the current Trump administrations processes, from the beginning of his campaign, through the transitory period, and well into the first year of Mr. Trump's presidency. The book is based on both on and off the record interviews with the staff, political advisors, and other friends of those in the White House conducted by the author in a very “fly on the wall” setting where he was allowed to stay in the White House simply because nobody was telling Mr. Wolff to leave. Using these interviews, the author paints a picture of how the President is constantly manipulated by those around him, how he is extremely unprepared for his position, and how he is regarded by those around him. The nature

    The second document highlights the National Security Council 68, a central document of the Cold War that laid out the strategic foundation for American foreign policy after the devastating decline of western European powers during World War II left the United States and Soviet Union as the dominant nations. The National Security Council argues that the Soviet Union poses a threat due to “being animated by a new fanatic faith” in communism to impose “absolute authority over the world” (Doc 2). This type of behavior is anti-ethical to the American values, so the fight between America and the Soviet Union was inevitable. The document outlined possible responses of isolation, diplomatic efforts to negotiate, or the rapid buildup of strength of

    America had participated in its fair share of wars in the twentieth century. Germany as a whole had been in a political and economic drought ever since the last world war and Reagan was offering a hand of help through his speech when saying, “I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent – and I pledge to you my country’s efforts to help overcome these burdens.” Reagan had also held two summits with Secretary Gorbachev and wanted more. Reagan had been doing his part and clarified to the Secretary that his contribution and willingness to make changes was a necessity to future progression: “General Secretary Gorbachev if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate!” Tough love and bluntness often times are required to make actual change.

    Since entering office, President Donald Trump has taken a hostile stance towards Iran, and now threatens to end the era of rapprochement that prevailed during the Obama Administration. This would be a significant mistake that would bode ill for both the United States and Iran. While detractors of President Obama’s policy towards Iran argue that it strengthens the oppressive regime of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the opposite is actually true. Friendly relations between the United States and Iran undermine the fear mongering rhetoric of Khamenei and his hardliner allies and strengthen the arguments of the reformist coalition in Iran. The success of this more moderate faction of Iranians serves United States’ interests in that it eliminates an

    I couldn't verbally express at this point because depends upon factors of which we ken nothing: the genuine candidates, the condition of the economy, the state of the world. As others have noted history gives the opposition party an edge. People incline to tire of a two-term president and his party toward the cessation of his tenure. The best one can verbalize of Obama is that his record is commixed. He certainly didn't live up to all the hype of his 2008 election campaign; the exaltation that was lavished on him then makes painful reading today.
