Recommended: Relations of US&Russia after post war

Even though the Cold war has ended accordingly during the 1990’s, tensions are still alive between the United States and Russia. From Putin’s perspective in this article, his announcement of new strategic weapons has demonstrated how the U.S. demands control on negotiations. The article talks about how the Russians have seen Putin taking initiative to make treaties between the U.S. and Russia on weapon agreements, such as a new START treaty, and rules and conducts in relations to cyberspace. It also points out how Putin could be handling the situation more appropriately. Consequently, the Russian government controls the press, there are still criticisms and humor about the Russian government that cannot go unnoticed. After the ideas of new

  • How Did Igor Gouzenko's Involvement In The Cold War?

    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    How would you feel if you defected to another country and spent the rest of your life under Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) protection out of fear of Soviet reprisals? This is exactly what Igor Sergeyevich Gouzenko faced in September of 1945 when he and his family defected to Canada. Igor Gouzenko stole over 100 documents that he had accumulated from his time working as a cipher clerk at the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, Canada. These documents implicated that Canadians were involved in espionage against their own country and detailed the efforts of a Soviet spy ring in Canada. Subsequently, I will emphasize Igor Gouzenko’s life, Canada’s involvement in the early Cold War period when he defected to Canada, and his involvement in some of the central events at the beginning of the Cold War in this

    The information war between the West and Russia had intensified once again and reached levels higher than the levels of Russo-Georgia war (2008). Russian media naturally is defending its annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol as a democratic referendum and justifying the military intervention as the protection of rights of the Russian population of Crimea. The referendum was very controversial since it had an unusually high voter turnout and the Pro-Russian vote has created speculations that the referendum has been falsified by the Russian government. The Western media condemns Russia for the anne...

  • The Cold War: Caused by the United States and the Soviet Union

    1905 Words  | 4 Pages

    War. Humans have thrived from war for as long as we can remember. The United States has been fighting wars ever since we found the new country in North America that we now call the United States. We fought against our selves for the freedom of others. We fought in several world wars. We have always fought. But in the late 1940's “war” changed forever. This was well known as the Cold War. Why was this so different? “ The world had never experienced anything like it. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States was a half century of military build-up, political maneuvering for international support (Hanes, Sharon M., and Richard C. Hanes).” This means that the world has always seen war as either hand to hand combat or gun to gun combat. With soldiers and foot patrols, but this was basically an arms race. Who was to blame for this struggle? I believe that the Cold War was caused by both nations.

  • The Causes of the Cold War - Post-Revisionist

    3007 Words  | 7 Pages

    Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signified, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold but not clothed." There was never a war that this idea can be more correct applied to than the Cold War. According to noted author and Cold War historian Walter Lippman, the Cold War can be defined as a state of tension between states, which behave with great distrust and hostility towards each other, but do not resort to violence. The Cold War encompasses a period from the end of the Second World War (WWII), in 1945, to the fall of the Soviet Union, in 1989. It also encompassed the Korean and Vietnam Wars and other armed conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, that, essentially, were not wars for people but instead for territories and ideologies. "Nevertheless, like its predecessors, the Cold War has been a worldwide power contest in which one expanding power has threatened to make itself predominant, and in which other powers have banded together in a defensive coalition to frustrate it---as was the case before 1815, as was the case in 1914-1918 as was the case from 1939-1945" (Halle 9). From this power contest, the Cold War erupted.

    ...media and press differ greatly between the two government styles. In America, we have a first amendment that guarantees the freedom of press. This means that the press has the right to put opinions within the media that they produce and distribute without censorship by the government. That is an entirely different story when it comes to the Soviet Union. Their press and media were super censored meaning that nothing got out to the public that the government didn’t approve first. That eliminated the threat of revolt.

    Consequently, Russia offers U.S. businesses both high risk, and potentially high rewards. Russian firms and customers admire U.S. technology and know-how, and generally are interested in doing business with U.S. companies. At the same time, there is a tendency in some quarters to suppose that the U.S. is responsible for the changes which have occurred in Russia, especially those which have caused most hardship to individuals and to industry. This sentiment has attracted the support of some political leaders, and in given credence by a significant proportion of the populace. At the same time, a strong U.S. commercial presence is viewed in the Russian Far East as a counterbalance to other regional economic powers.

    Russian government has and continues to revolve around the current President. The communistic country has deferred most if not all of its power to the sitting leader, who can do anything from appointing the head of government, to dissolving a whole branch of legislature. This mixed government system allows the President of Russia to be in complete and total control of the country leaving a foul, dictatorship like stain on whomever is ‘honored’ to bear the title. Russian Presidents can also influence many things outside of the government, such as the media and military. One of the most important things that the Russian President can do is appoint the Prime Minister of the nation.

    A breakdown in Yankee-Russian relations is a major overlap in the news articles that involve Russia and The United States in recent times, after the Yankees launched 60 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian airport after they used chemical weapons on their own citizens. The Russian government has recently issued statements of how the Yankee bombings are a act of aggression, and a violation of international laws. “Vladimir Putin views the US missile strikes on Syria as ‘aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law, and under a false pretext’”. This act has only separated and harmed the relations between the two nations, even though in the month of March of this year it had looked that the two nations would begin to meld a relationship
