War frenzy has gripped the hearts and minds of the neoconservatives in Washington and London. For the first time in history, the Russians and the Americans are dropping bombs on the same country. This is wonderful news is it not? Yes, if you're not a neocon. Neoconservatives are hell-bent on war, terror, and supernationalism. They profit from military expenditures via the military industrial complex, and push governments into illegal wars of aggression. I.e Vietnam and Iraq. Insightfulness is a key trait of President Putin. His understanding of the neoconservative foreign policy of the United States has led him to the conclusion that watching another legitimate government fall at the hands of CIA backed terrorists is a crime which must be …show more content…
I very nearly forgot that the West always ignores the plight of innocent Shia in the Middle East. One can look at Bahrain, where the autocratic Sultan and his family are Sunni, yet oppress the Shia majority. If one protests in the streets against the dictatorship, then one is likely to receive a life sentence...if you're lucky. Why is that we never hear about this oppressive regime? Simple. Bahrain is a puppet of the neoconservatives and does its bidding. Syria is just another step in the neoconservative game plan to control the Middle East. Unabashed support for Israel, listing Hezbollah as a terrorist organization even though it remains part of the legimitaley elected government of Lebanon, and permitting the Turks to back Jabhat Al-Nusra are prime examples of the sheer fanaticism of neoconservatives on both sides of the pond. President Putin is no Saint, but he certainly is a savior. He's a savior for the Alwaites who face certain annihilation if the Salafis take control of the provinces of Latakia and Tartous. Of course, this is not the only reason, or even the main reason that the Russians are intervening in Syria, but it's significant
It is obvious the Republican Party has no brains. If they elect Donald Trump to run for president, they are going to lose big time. They can blame themselves for being so stupid. The establishment runs the Republican Party. They are the ones who lose major elections. The leadership of the Republican Party shifts the blame to conservative wing of the Republican Party; however, it is the moderate wing of the Republican Party who loses elections. Does John McClain ring a bell? If the Republican Party hopes to win the presidency, they must run a conservative or face another trouncing in the next election. It is that simple. Therefore, the Republicans had better wake up fast if they want to
...his audiences’ trust and emotional appeal to the situation. Zakaria states that the people of Russia would rather see Gregiev be their leader, someone who would stand up for human rights and treat everyone equally, not someone who discriminates.
...ary power to influence the decisions made not only by the Assad Regime in Syria but also to influence the likes of Israel and Saudi Arabia as she can have greater advantage in the future by having better relations with these nations. However, Putin’s Russa stopped all attempts made by the United States to make any intervention in Syria. On 19 July, 2013 Russia, for the third time, vetoed against the United Nations Resoltution that would have punished the Syrian government with economic sanctions for failing to carry out a peace plan. This shows the role of how power influences between the two nations.
For the past fifty years or so, Americans have had the great fortune of living safely in a relatively peaceful world. That perspective changed the moment a commercial airplane slammed into the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th. Terrorists killed over 6,000 American citizens within a few hours. Suddenly, life as America knew it changed. Many stood in disbelief when they saw the joyous reactions of people cheering on the streets of Palestine. Our nation came to realize that we were truly hated, and that terrorist regimes rejoiced in our pain. The leader of one such a regime, Osama bin Laden, became America's clearly defined worst enemy. A war has begun between bin Laden and his terrorist followers, and all people who believe in freedom. Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists were unjustified in attacking America, and cannot rationally legitimize their actions. Evidence of this, as well as a better understanding of their reasoning, can be found through examination of President Bush's speech to the nation given on September 20th, and through examining additional information on Osama and his terrorist followers.
The Middle Eastern has developed a lot of economic success with the authoritarianism government they’ve established. To some people, if they are economically stable, they’re willing to endure the hardships of being lead under a dictator. Countries like Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are flourishing in the oil business, which keeps them wealthy and involved in international relations. To the citizens of the Middle East, this makes their country look powerful because even with the Western’s opposing ideologies, they’re still working with the Middle East. This is sending the wrong message because even though the western countries have to cooperate and show political support with the Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern countries. Situations like these give the citizens a positive outlook of how their country is being conducted and support their governme...
With humble beginnings, as Vladimir himself put it in his autobiography, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born October 7th, 1952, within St. Petersburg, Russia. Raised by his mother Maria, who was a factory worker, and his father Vladimir, who was a conscript. Putin was dead set on joining the KGB, the Committee for State Security. In his autobiography he says he was “a pure and utterly successful product of Soviet patriotic education.” But he also says that most of this “notion of the KGB came from romantic spy stories” In short, he never knew what he was getting into. To follow...

The most secretive country in the world has the ability to reach the U.S., should we be worried? In my opinion, the Trump Administration should not give North Korea the attention they have been getting.
Trump (Republican) might win the election if he spends most of his time in OH, PA, VA, NC, GA, WI, and IA. These seven states will really boost up his votes. The first strategy that I have for Trump to boost up his votes, he will have to really persuade and talk more about the economy and social issues in each of the states. For example, if he becomes a president, what kind of changes there might be. People want to know about the changes that the government makes, therefore Trump should tell them everything that they need to know. Trump should not talk about immigrants a lot because people in some of these states are likely immigrants. Therefore he should be more careful when he say the word “immigrants”. If he doesn’t be careful of the things
When the ball dropped and the calendar year change to 2017, the United States had a rational, sane, even-tempered president in the White House. The newly elected President Trump has been at the least, irresponsible with his words. In the illustration, President Donald Trump reaches out to help a United States Worker out of an Obama shelter with the caption, "Come on out. It's safe again". The implication is that the workers in the United States felt as if they needed protection under the Obama administration and now Trump is here to "save the day". Perusing deeper into the photo, take notice of the worker’s apprehension to accept the hand of the overzealous newly elected President Trump. If workers felt the need to hide in an Obama shelter, Trump is not the ideal president to introduce security and safety back to the American citizen.

As both "conservatism" and "liberalism" have had various meanings sooner or later and transversely countries, the word liberal conservatism has been used in relatively different sanity. In political science, the word is used to pass on to ideologies that merge the support of capitalism, for instance value for contracts, protection of private property and free market require reference to validate with the principle in natural discrimination, the significance of religion, and the worth of traditional integrity need reference to validate in the course of a construction of inadequate, legitimate, representative government (Abdou & Zaazou 2013). It contrasts with traditional liberalism and particularly aristocratic conservatism, rejecting the belief of correspondence as a little in discordance with human nature, instead emphasizing the thought of natural inequality (Crozier. 2012).As the conservative thought in democratic countries hold typical liberal institutions such as the rule of law, private property, market economy, and constitutional representative government, the liberal factor of liberal conservatism
The Russo-Chechen war that ended in 1996 should have given the Russian government a feel of things to come when they decided to attack in late September of last year. Triggered by security challenges to the State, Russia decided that the democracy would be in danger if they didn’t act. Russia was in a politically unstable situation right now with the resignation of Yeltsin, and the current Presidential elections looming. Also looming on the political horizon was the concern over rampant corruption in the government. If they had done nothing Yeltsin’s party would have stood to lose, yet Putin, (Yeltsin’s successor) succeeded in focusing the medias attention on the war rather that the domestic corruption.
