Pakistan and America have one of the strangest allies. It is a delicate relationship built on paying big bucks for protection and security. “For instance, U.S. lawmakers should not be surprised that billions of dollars in development assistance over the past decade failed to win Pakistani “hearts and minds,”” (Markey, 2) Pakistan is a friend to the United States to the extent that they keep the lid on the box of nuclear armaments. The Cartoon in in the Unworthy Ally article on page two really does depict the strangeness of this relationship. The Title “Unworthy Ally” really does portray the strange relationship of the U.S. with a historically terror breading ground and historic enemies of another one of the allies of the U.S. which is India. …show more content…
supply the very things intended for defense when they know they will be used to destroy their other friend who is helping them defend against China. It is also interesting to note that the who relationship is rather fishy as “President Richard Nixon bent U.S. law to authorize military aid even as American officials understood that Pakistan was committing genocide against ethnic Bengalis in East Pakistan.” (An Unworthy Ally) Again the U.S. is basically hiring Pakistan to keep peace. This however has not been the case at the heart of the matter. For example, the heart of Pakistan is revealed by this quote; “While India and China have persistently adopted assured retaliation postures, Pakistan switched form an explicitly catalytic posture between 1986 and 1998 to an aggressive asymmetric escalation posture that threatens the first use of nuclear weapons against Indian forces[.]”(Narang,1) China is also not out of the picture.
An explanation is a set of statements constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the causes, contexts, and consequences of those facts. This description may establish rules or laws, and may clarify the existing ones in relation to any objects, or phenomena examined. The first piece Bush Remarks Roil Debate over Teaching of Evolution written by Elizabeth Bumiller, is an explanation. Bumiller addresses her points using facts rather than opinions, she also says, “Recalling his days as Texas governor, Mr. Bush said in the interview, according to a transcript, “I felt like both sides ought to be properly taught.”(2), this signifies that this is an explanation and not an argument since he sees both sides instead of choosing one.

and its allies.American has one of the best army so if other countries are in trouble and we are their "allies" , they can benefit off that and ask for help from a good army system.So this goes to show that you cant trust even your friends because you dont know if they are just with you to eat off your success and power.This would apply with a leader trying to gain power and maintain it because a person who is trying to maintain power shouldnt have someone who will bring
According to Wright, this decline in the unipolar concert “marks the return of geopolitical competition and presents a significant challenge for U.S. strategy” (Wright, 8). Many believe that these country were not too concerned with global power until it saw the U.S. weak
“Designated Survivor” is the second series of Kiefer Sutherland that is in perfect timing with Donald Trump’s win in the United States presidential election. The first was “24” which ran for eight seasons and have won Emmy Awards.
The United States was once a non-interventionist nation that minded our own affairs. However, this nation is now always involved with other countries’ problems because America just cannot seem to mind its own business. The United States needs to stop getting involved in what is going on abroad frequently and start fixing problems at home because those are America’s top priority to discuss and handle. If the United States is going to consider getting involved in Foreign Affairs, the involvement should be valid and reasonable. The United States needs to significantly reduce its involvement in events abroad and mind its own business.
On September 2, 2014, after three decades of waiting for their death row, Henry Lee McCollum, 50, and his half-brother, Leon Brown, 46, were declared innocent and ordered released with $750,000 in compensation from the state (Brothers Henry McCollum). After thirty years of isolation, the brothers are both mentally and physically affected. McCollum and Brown, who are now middle-aged men, have no education, job, or family, have to reorganize their lives in which they could have done 30 years ago. The two brothers, who were only scared, mentally challenged teenagers, while under pressure, confessed to committing a capital murder. Moreover, the question, whether race played a role in the two brothers’ sentence remain unjustified.
To begin with, Author Dinesh D’Souza states in his article “What’s so Great About America”, “There are American bases in the middle east and the far east.” United States has spent billions of dollars opening military bases in multiple of countries, but somehow found their selves in debt. D’Souza also states “After leveling Japan and Germany during World War II, the United States rebuilt those countries.” Americans always lead a helping hand when other countries in trouble, when in fact their own homeland has issues. D’souz...
zombies are also really easy to kill, and Klosterman points to this as being a potential reason why zombies are growing in popularity (Klosterman 41). Klosterman continues to make a point of how other types of monsters, such as vampires, can create a personality in which we can start to like them; while zombies on the other hand, can’t talk and don’t really have much of a personality, therefore you can’t start to like them (Klosterman 41). Klosterman compares zombies with our everyday lives, the part of our lives that are so mind-numbingly simple, we’d rather be dead. He states we can relate to killing zombies because it’s like reading through emails, or filling out paperwork. We’d rather not do it, but we have to (Klosterman 41).
In her argument centered on how emancipatory movements have been plagued by the politics of ‘redistribution’ and the politics of ‘recognition’, Nancy Fraser is specifically referring to the manner by which cultural recognition and socioeconomic redistribution may displace one another as a remedy for injustice. In order to thoroughly examine this dilemma Fraser analytically distinguishes the different logics behind ‘redistribution’ and ‘reconstruction’. From her extensive analysis Fraser develops two broad remedies that can cut across the redistribution-reconstruction divide. Fraser dubs her proposed remedies as “affirmation” and “transformation”. In order to effectively conceptualize Fraser’s argument and proposed remedies, her contributions must be situated into the context of current political predicaments (i.e. racism and gender).

Relations among the major Western powers fit a model of complex interdependence very well. The United States has significant disagreements with its European and Asian allies over trade and policy, but it is hard to imagine a circumstance in which the United States would use military power against any of these allies. Instead, the United States relies on economic pressure and incentives to achieve its policy aims.
Additionally, in the book US FOREIGN POLICY, Michael Cox (2012) concluded that “China’s peaceful rise has largely consoled its neighbors and the United States that it remains a status quo power. However, as it has risen, there are some (perhaps an expanding number) who predict this will lead to increased regional and global competition” (p.266). Clearly, Michael Cox indicated the point that there might be more competitions in the future relation between China and the rest of the world no matter China rises peacefully or not. In particular, China and the United States will face many intense issues since they are the two giants in th...
