Despite having technologically advanced intelligence collection means, the majority of actionable intelligence for the CIA is human intelligence gathered from both refugee debriefs and operational resistance groups within Cuba. The CIA utilizes U2 and other intelligence platforms for geospatial intelligence planning of amphibious and air strike operations.

THE CRISIS In October 15 1962 an American spy jet U2 snapped pictured that revealed that the Soviet Union had everything there to launch ballistic missiles into the US. The US could not tolerate the existence of the first strike capability in Cuba, which would give the Soviets full superiority in case of an armed conflict. This was also critical for JFK politically given the fact that just a month later elections of the House of Representatives were to happen. Given that JFK was a democrat,…

In a democratic system, there is no absolute leadership, no matter how powerful it is, the constitution provides always a check and balance with other authorities and institutions. In addition to check and balance, other factors like the advisory team, the lobbies, and the international institutions constraint the president’s ability to pursue his national security policy priorities. In this paper, I will argue that the congress with his constitutional power, and the president’s advisory team…

In the film” the Great Gatsby’, Luhrmann aimed to construe the jazz age into the music equivalent to our times (the now). However, according to R. Bassil, Luhrmann failed in capturing the spirit and earnestness of Gatsby’s West Egg mansion parties and stated that it is more suitable for a twilight film or a headphone advert (Bassil, 2013). This essay will disagree with the statement made and will refer to the following three sound techniques found in the film: Diegetic, Non-diegetic and a sound…

1.1.2.b. Slaves Mutiny Not only the white abolitionists and free blacks who reacted against slavery, there were other ubiquitous attempts by slaves themselves against this institution. Slaves’ revolution was divided mainly into two categories: passive and active resistance. Overall, these conducts raised both the sense of fear in the white owners and the riot pace among the African slaves. Slaves who were unable to conduct an active resistance against slavery for fear of dying or getting…

within the film seems to be unrealistic and far fetched as the movie progresses. By doing so makes it very difficult for viewers to relate to the film. As the film progresses, we discover Kim’s actual agenda of traveling to Paris to follow rock band U2 for their European tour, instead of the lie she told her father. After Kim and her friend Amanda settle into Amanda's cousin's apartment, Kim decides to call her father to check in.While speaking to her father to reassure her safety Kim suddenly…

bears the question, why have these deals become the norm? With music streams up and iTunes album sales down (Thomson), labels can no longer depend on just album sales to make money- and neither can musicians. Therefore, the 360 degree deal was born. U2, an Irish rock band, has made $219 million dollars in their career from album sales and $522 million from from concert sales (Brisbourne). For an average, well-sold show, the band receives 70% of money made that night from merchandise sales…

The commanders of the United States Army and the majority of the ExComm members, demanded an offensive response, but Kennedy decided to solve it diplomatically avoiding war.

His shocking condemnation of Stalin’s reign of terror and seemingly more liberal intentions of peaceful co-existence gave the impression of a new, markedly successful era for the USSR. However, these expectations were quickly dashed through a series of counterproductive and unsuccessful policies, most notably his grand but ill-fated agricultural schemes. Khrushchev displayd a…

trolley should uniformly accelerate, the standard equations of motion can be used to calculate many different variables (one such being acceleration using displacement and velocity). This relationship can be confirmed using the SUVAT equation of v2 = u2 + 2as and can be simplified to v2 = 2as as the initial velocity will be a controlled variable set to zero at…
