Why Support The Soviet Union's Choice?

Decent Essays
The Soviet Union has the right to choose sides, just like we, Americans, do. There choice of supporting Algeria is theirs alone and we have no right to judge it. They simply chose who they thought was more honorable. Algeria wants freedom and that’s what we have been fighting for wholeheartedly. We will continue to support the Soviet Union’s choice. The reason it is hard to support their choice is because the terrible things that have been done by the FLN. Even though the Soviet Union knows what FLN has done, they still choose to support Algeria. Saying that seems like they support the killings but, they are actually very against the FLN but support Algeria’s victory. That is respectable and we close to the same opinions on this war. What

    In 1946, Canada gave political asylum to Igor Gouzenko, a soviet sipher clerk responsible for stealing 109 documents, which proved soviet spies were operating in Canada and the United States. Gouzenko’s actions arguably began this period of tension between the Americas and the Soviet Union, now known as the Cold War.

Although the majority of the conflict was between the United States and the Soviet Union, Canada became involved through participation in the Korean War, the Suez Canal crisis as well as the United Nation’s (UN) peace promotion, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). In addition to that, Canada was unexpectedly…

    Assignment #13 - What Did We Actually Win To begin, while it is clear that the US in particular won in the Cold War, it is very unclear what we actually won other than the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union, while militarily sound, was unable to compete with the cost of war and inevitably collapsed. However, following the war, it is apparent that we have suffered substantial losses as well.…

    Soviet occupation in Poland), and bolstered attacks, asserting on the USSR's behalf, their bent on world domination. The United States misconstrued Soviet intentions and assigned ‘world domination' as Stalin's main goal. With such a seemingly aggressive Soviet threat at hand, the U.S. utilized documents and speeches like Kennan's Long Telegram, Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech and the Truman doctrine to acknowledge the maturing Soviet menace. These three documents and declarations deepened the stratification of the already tenuous Soviet and U.S relationship and unwittingly expedited and worsened Cold War tensions. The Soviets would then respond to the United States via pronouncements and reactions (i.e. the Cominform as a rebuttal to the Marshall Plan) as an escalating tit-for-tat would lead the U.S. and the USSR towards more enmity.…

    The practice of Human Intelligence (HUMINT) has been a controversial feature of the Intelligence community since the creation of CIA in 1947. When George Kennan came out with the strategy of containment in the 1946 “long telegram”, recurring to human activities to counteract the eventual Soviet infiltrations appeared as a better means than military activities. In fact, it would have allowed the clandestine collection of Soviet documents and archives through the personal contact with foreigners or US citizens working abroad. Most of all, espionage was appealing to the IC due to the fact that it gave direct human access, thus allowing to understand governmental plans, intentions and non-public discussions. Also, it was extremely less costly than other methods of collection.…
