Confession time readers, It’s time to find out what makes us tick, what strategy we employed to make us one of the best. The strategy we used is an ancient, enigmous, trying one; many have tried and failed to comprehend the effectiveness of this strategy, this strategy requires patience, diligence, and faith in my in the Israeli State. This strategy often referred to as ... the do nothing strategy Hold on a second, I don’t mean I did nothing at all. I just meant that while I was relaxing in the comfort of my home, signing deals for US troops to come, ordering soldiers to patrol our borders and skies, then sitting back and watching the mayhem befalling our neighbors and Europe. All was going well initially we only had to trade electronics to …show more content…

My co-president Max was the voice of reason in this instance, convincing me to stick with our strategy, to just reinforce our defense, and let the USA lend us aid; Max’s justification was we didn’t want to start the end of the world or get ourselves into a conflict our citizens would be unhappy with. With great reluctance I conceded that I would have to stick with our strategy until at least I knew for sure who bombed us. Our main strategy was to utilize our alliance with the USA to the fullest capability. Now only were they a wonderful deterrent to our neighbors but they also were willing to help supply and aid our military when needed. In return we supplied the USA with any relevant intelligence they may not know of, such as when Saudi Arabia frier built nukes. These two strategies were the main reasons why our glorious nation was able to prevail as one of the most successful in this simulation. Successful due to the fact all of our citizens were happy, the hamas was driven out of the gaza strip, and we were never nuked. Yalla for now for reader, and don’t forget to visit one of the best, most competent, and prosperous nations in the Middle

President Kennedy then ordered an “air-umbrella” at dawn. This plan demolished the U.S military. Because Kennedy was new in office, he wanted to do the “right thing” and make everyone proud that they voted for him. Unfortunately the CIA had created the plans before Kennedy was in office, and they did not share all of the information with him and manipulated him into approving it. The blame for this failure lies with both Kennedy and the CIA.

All of these operations were carried out to protect America as well as other countries from the spread of communism. However, Kinzer doesn’t make it seem that way. Notably, the book fails to discuss the state of the world. The United States and the Soviet Union were the two biggest forces in the world, were not happy with each other, and both had nuclear missiles. There was a lot of pressure to keep the Soviets as far away from American territory as possible.

The actions during the Suez crisis showed how the rhetoric of Eisenhower and Dulles pointed in the opposite direction the British and French expected. The U.S. saw the crisis as an opportunity to keep their word as a moral and unbiased nation. Unfortunately, the U.S. did not comprehend how Suez was supposed to be a problem of containment and not colonialism. Kissinger brought up the point on how Suez was merely an exercise for the U.S. to act as the leader of the free world. (Kissinger 544).

It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.

America with open arms has accepted the role of the world’s police. It could be argued that it created the role for itself. That is the premise of Andrew Bacevich’s Washington Rules. Bacevich discusses over sixty years of American Foreign Policy, from Truman to now, to explain the premise of the “Washington Rules.” The Washington Rules is about American militarist belief that Americans must “lead, save, liberate, and ultimately transform the world”, this could only be accomplished by an idea described by Bacevich as “the sacred trinity”.

Could you imagine living in a time of constant fear of nuclear war? For many people living today, this was once a daily reality. From 1945 to 1991, the two world superpowers, the United States and the USSR clashed in a series of ideological political battles that completely changed and defined the post-WWII world. This was known as the Cold War. After founding and developing Marxist ideologies over two world wars, the USSR naturally wanted to spread communism across the world.

Mckenna, I too wrote about the mindless monster and the negative effects it can have on someone. It's crazy to think about the lengths people will go to please someone and will overwork themselves to make sure others are happy. I believe that the only way to be truly happy is to make sure you're good first. The other aspect I agree with was your point on body language. That is something I need to work on a lot as well.

The Cold War marked a very significant, yet rarely examined period of American history. It examined the clash between capitalist and communist systems and was immensely different from wars of the past in the sense that it wasn’t a war of outright physical warfare, rather it was a war of ideologies and political systems of two very separate, and influential spheres of power: Communism and the Free World. In that sense, the leaders of the time were a hugely important aspect of the Cold War. Each President—Truman, Nixon and Reagan, had tremendous impact and influence on the way in which the Cold War played out. But, most importantly, it allowed President Ronald Reagan to demonstrate his immense leadership capabilities and strategic-planning

Having a handsome, charismatic actor go from a minor movie star to one of America’s most influential presidents is an almost unthinkable scenario. However, for the fortieth president, Ronald Reagan this was his reality. Reagan was an incredible speaker and was dubbed “The Great Communicator” for his powerful and well delivered speeches. An extremely conservative Republican was perhaps one of America’s most influential and well-liked presidents by the greater American public. His main platforms throughout his political career were pro-family and anti-communist.

Foreign affairs have always been a subject of debate for America ever since its birth. George Washington wanted America to avoid foreign affairs ant to stay neutral, but politicians did not listen to him and wanted to enforce their own form of justice across the world. America’s involvement in foreign affairs has always been for a different reason, at times it could be as childish as having a strong disliking for another country’s way of life. The United States sees itself as one of the most powerful countries in the world, as an icon of sorts, and because of this, they feel that their way of life is the only way of life. However, that is not the case, America overall wants other countries to be parallel to their own form of government, ideologies,

I quickly finished tying my shoe and hopped onto my purple mountain bike and we were off. Logan my brother who I love sometimes,Cassie My best friend, Easton Cassie’s brother,Sawyer Cassie’s brother, Mr. Wychers and I were going to ride our bikes through a trail off in the woods and go to Whistle stop and then cut through town and head to Houseman's. The sky was cloudy and the daylight was being blocked by a thick dark cloud, which looked a lot like a rain cloud. We started to cut through a dead cornfield, lifeless tall brown and crusty plants sat in a single spot and as the soft wind blew the once luscious herbs. I felt the dead greens slap me in the leg and burrs got stuck to my pant leg.

No Higher Honor by Condoleezza Rice is the first truly political book I have read in a while. She covers her beginnings in the administration as the National Security Advisor and moves through her time as Secretary of State. Rice also talks about what she dealt with as she worked with important people in her time and problems she faced, which was interesting. It was a very long tragic path and intense decade, but even though some parts in the book were long to read it was well written and interesting to read.

Overworked. That’s the closest word that I could use to describe this week. I feel like this journal is going to be about me just bickering, yet there is some stuff you might want to read about. First of all, I have been sleeping three hours this week because of upcoming midterms, quizzes, and assignments due. I am sleep deprived and mentally drained and as my second year in college I have never had my life drained out of my body like a passing shadow.
