President-elect Trump’s transition team has spoken out against unprecedented (no pun intended) actions President Obama has taken against Israel by abstaining from a recent UN vote.
However, why is President Obama siding with Russia, by abstaining, amidst accusations from Trump supporters that President Obama is making up these claims?
During his administration, President Obama has repeatedly allowed Russia to play a bigger role, and infamously tried to reset relations with Russia. Now President-elect Trump is signaling that he is willing to partner with Russia in seeking peace, and he is being criticized by those that failed to do it!
During the Republican primarily, I supported former CEO Fiorina, Senator Paul, and Governor Kasich, and supported former Governor Johnson in the Presidential election-so I am not a staunch supporter of President Trump; mostly because he seems to want government to play a bigger role than I want, and I do not support and am alarmed at his consideration of Muslim registries. …show more content…

President-elect Trump has been criticized for being allied with Russia, and he has had very serious accusations (from both sides of the aisle) of Russia helping him win the election. However, this historical action against Israel by the Obama administration is stunning.
Now do not get me wrong, I do not agree with everything Israel does, and I believe that Israel needs some important policy changes. Nonetheless, I wonder why President Obama has not taken action like this before. This is simply preposterous for President Obama to side with Russia, throw fire on gasoline in the Middle East, and go against a key Foreign Policy position of the transitioning

In Partisans & Redcoats, author Walter Edgar sheds light on an area rarely discussed when talking about Revolutionary history: the backcountry of South Carolina. Edgar tackles a 27-year period that includes conflicts before, during, and after the American Revolution. He takes a particular interest in specific people and their continuing roles in events throughout. It is the people of the backcountry, Edgar argues, separated by class from the lowcountry and internally divided by race, religion, and ideology, that band together to fight for independence; their persistent assaults on the British and their Tory allies weakened the Cornwallis’s southern forces to a point where Washington’s victory at Yorktown in 1781 was made possible. Edgar is

In spite of a scorched-earth campaign by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Neil Gorsuch has been confirmed to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s untimely death last year. Gorsuch’s nomination was one of the most significant actions of the Trump presidency so far, and his confirmation will now have profound implications for our nation over the next several decades. Here are four reasons why American citizens—especially Evangelical conservatives—should consider Gorsuch’s confirmation a great victory and why he might be better even than Scalia, whose place on the bench he would take. 1.

The United States just elected a new president recently. This is a major event, because this is a country that values the citizens right to vote above many other rights and privileges.

However, the responsibility for post-war decisions was ultimately given to the United Nations (UN) as a whole. This angered the Soviets, and ultimately increased tension and suspicion between the USA and USSR post WWII. Similarly, the Russian government was overruled by the democratic rules of the UN when the Soviet delegate for the Security Council proposed at a UN meeting in 1946 that atomic weapons be prohibited. At this time President Truman, in opposition of Soviet desires, said it would be foolish for the USA to discard of America’s nuclear weapons until they were assured that the rest of the world could not arm against the US (Truman 804). Stalin was overruled by the UN Security Council, in correspondence with Soviet Foreign Minister V.M. Moltov’s statement the UN’s goal was to dominate the World, especially non-democratic countries (Doc E).

Reagan On East-West Relation and Clinton Ronald Reagan was surely one of America’s most influential presidents in the realm of international policy. President Reagan was now given the opportunity in the mid-80s when Mikhail Gorbachev was selected as the new Soviet Union leader. Gorbachev was looking to reform the Soviet Union and reduce military spending, this played out well for Ronald Reagan and his agenda of a free world. Ronald Reagan took center stage in 1987 on East-West relations at the Berlin wall, as he speaks of the hardships of the past, the current state of peace, and a future freedom for all people.

According to Aaron Blake’s article on The Washington Post, “Trump seems to have been torn between respect for Obama and a desire to accuse him…” The article states that back in the early 2000s, Trump has shown his respect many times towards the former U.S. president, but has also made wild claims about him. In January, 2008, Trump said, “I certainly think he is a very capable guy and a great speaker.” But it wasn’t until after President Trump was inaugurated, that he made even more outrageous accusations. I saw a tweet on President Trump’s twitter, and he claims that Obama wire tapped his phone, and said that it was something similar to the Nixon Watergate scandal.

Further, Dershowitz argues that the Iranians would not feel bound to honor its provision regarding centrifuges, inspections, and other constraints. In conclusion, the Iran Nuclear Deal predominantly is an effort by the United Nations to engage Iran into producing a peaceful nuclear program for advances in science and technology. Clearly President Obama wants his major foreign policy achievement to be: choosing peace over war with Iran. Globally, the nuclear deal is an approach based on diplomacy and opposing war, which provides the best hope for improving the human and civil rights for Iranian citizens. Supporters in Iran and other legitimate nation-states believe the nuclear deal is a fundamental way to achieve stability and peace domestically, in Iran, and the latter hopes of spreading peaceful negotiations throughout the Middle East.

I do not believe that the U.S.F.G should substantially curtail its domestic surveillance, due to the fact that by dramatically decreasing monitoring of domestic affairs, the U.S. not only makes itself more vulnerable to social, economic, political, and other domestic issues, but it also makes Homeland Security more vulnerable and significantly weaker in their quest to stop terrorism in the United States and guard our borders. Google's dictionary defines the word, "surveillance" as, "close observation, especially of a suspected spy or criminal". By restricting the government's access to monitor and potentially stop espionage or other criminal activity such as terrorism, corruption, cyber attacks/hacking or even fraud, I believe that
