Soviet war in Afghanistan

World War One would be the war that starts all wars. Malala Yousafzai said during her speech in the UN Assembly “In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war, and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.” As we all know, no war is better than other; all wars are brutal, in general. Until today, innocent civilians still remain as the victims of war. Both World War One and World War Two…

The United States was involved in aiding to achieve an international set of institutions, multilateral relationships, and pacts to resolve political conflicts and global problems. Internationalist multilateralism was complicated due to the Cold world war that split the world into competing blocs and camps. Amid nuclear threat and military challenges, the United States established multilateral organizations and treaties with European and other nations to facilitate global security. Policies of…

Forbidden City (Appendix: fig 4). Against all odds, he united China for the first time after one hundred years of chaos and humiliation and built the foundation for a modern China fighting off the two antagonizing giants of the USSR and USA during the Cold War. He put an end to China’s “century of humiliation” and because of him, many Chinese people have stood up in the world. However, many of his opponents look at him as a demon and a creature that only destroys lives, dreams, and hope and…

rate that would not be matched until 1998-2007 during the period of restructuring. This can be largely attributed to the development of new technologies, effectively reinventing the way our armed forces fought. The government continued its pre-World War II practice of migrating more towards commercial suppliers for defense related products. This ultimately resulted in the defense industry becoming one of the leading sectors of the nation’s economy during the 1950s. The barriers to entry and exit…

The events of September 11, 2001 changed our country forever, impacted many lives, and changed our response to terrorism. The attacks on our country had a direct impact on how law enforcement professionals do their job. The dynamics changed instantaneously, as a direct response to the attacks on our country that day. I recently interviewed three people, from three different generations to get their reactions, and responses to the events of September 11, 2001. I asked them what impact the…

normative context rather than international factors impact the decisions made by foreign policy ministers. Katzenstein and Okawara believe the normative structure and social context of Japan will prevent Japan from remilitarizing. The collapse of the Soviet Union put Japan’s role on the international stage in question and there was anxiety concerning Japan’s future willingness to use the military for its goals. Realists argued that Japan would use this major restructuring of the international…

and the beginning of 2013 is only 4.5 percent. Drone strikes typically target individuals who have been placed on a “kill list” by the administration in a secret process that is not subject to oversight or transparency. The traditional weapons of war - bombs, shells, mines, mortars - cause more unintended ("collateral") damage to people and property than drones, whose accuracy and technical precision mostly limit casualties to combatants and intended targets. There are many types of drones for…

Clausewitz concept of “absolute war” is finally achievable. This will generate fear and will restraint powerful states from using maximum power to prevail. Thus the victory as a proper outcome to be expected of the use of American arms was intractable for the duration of the cold war, for in very good part, for the reason of the sensible fear of the escalation to nuclear holocaust. So, the only kind of conflict that the United States dared to wage in the nuclear era was limited war. After all,…

groups of Islamic fundamentalism, and it played a deep role in their radicalization. The terrorism committed was not just for religious beliefs, but it was targeted at the U.S. because they harmed the lives of so many Muslims in the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. The Boston Marathon Bombings established a new type of terrorism, influenced by exposure to jihad and Islamic fundamentalists abroad, the marginalization of the Tsarnaevs in the US, and the ability of social media to aid…
