    In his book, 7 Deadly Scenerios, Andrew Krepinevich, explores a wide range of non-conventional sources of threat to United States security. Of these, threats he dedicates a chapter to Pakistan’s political and socioeconomic failures. Pakistan, reeling from the assassination of its president on Feb. 24, 2013, faced a week economy, strained relations with India, sectarian conflict, and a fragile democracy. As the government slowly lost its credibility and control on its people, the Loyalist army leaders attempted to impose control and order per their orders. This time they faced a problem – “they had to contend with Islamist elements within the armed forces, led by a clique of young colonels and a few junior generals, who command perhaps a third…

    1. In President Obama’s speech at West Point, he announced that 30,000 additional troops would be sent to Afghanistan. He made this decision because he said it was vital to the United States’ national interest. The vital national interest at risk in President Obama’s address is the security and safety of the American people as well as the “security of our allies and the common security of the world.” By involving the military and increasing the troop strength, President Obama can achieve the objectives of his strategy. His objectives are to keep the Taliban from becoming powerful, prevent them from government rule, improve Afghanistan security forces and government so they can manage their own country and prevent Al Qaeda from establishing refuge in other countries. If you follow the framework of several important U.S. documents, such as the National Defense Strategy (NDS) and Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) they will outline this same strategy. The National Defense Strategy states that it is the responsibility of the military to protect ourselves and our allies from attack. It states that the military should help protect and secure our vital interests abroad. U.S. security is linked with the security of the international community. The physical integrity of our country is protected by the military through multiple security controls. One of these security controls is through deployments of the armed forces. The Quadrennial Defense Review states the mission of the U.S. military is to protect the American people and advance our nation’s interests. The vital interests of the United States are intertwined with the integrity and resilience of allies abroad. Our vital interests are security, prosperity, broad respect for universal values and an international order that promotes cooperation among our allies. The President’s vision is to become more powerful domestically while bringing together all elements of national power. We need to help our neighbors…

    The war in Afghanistan started after the September 11th, 2001 attacks in the United States while President Bush was in office. President Obama was inaugurated as president on January 20th, 2009 and he picked up in the middle of a long war in Iraq and Afghanistan. After taking office, General Stanley McChrystal was selected to command NATO operations in Afghanistan. McChrystal submits a detailed report, to then Defense Secretary Robert Gates, calling for a surge of 30,000 – 40,000 troops in Afghanistan. The general’s assessment reflects the “Polis Model” in that he writes “success demands a comprehensive counterinsurgency (COIN) campaign” and further writes “failure to gain the initiative”, “risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible”. This assessment gives the portrayal that increasing the troop count in Afghanistan is the only feasible option and that any other method would result in failure. To make matters worse, McChrystal’s 66 page assessment…

    When it came to China deciding to support North Korea, they made this choice because of the shared hatred for the enemy of North Korea (Yufan, Zhihai 94). In addition, this decision by China, also stems back to 1949 when Chairman Mao delivered a speech exclaiming how he is denouncing the United States as an imperialistic power seeking to dominate China, and with that he said China would now lean toward the side of the Soviet Union (Yufan, Zhihai 97). The Chinese Communist party did not want any more possibilities of United States ideals spreading into China, thus the reason for the Chinese leaning toward the Soviets. With that said, the Soviets joining North Korea is what made the Chinese join North Korea as well. In the aid of North Korea,…

    Why Is Obama Necessary

    George W. Bush decided to find the people responsible for the attacks, but in the process, he not only sent troops to Afghanistan to look for the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, but he also sent troops to Iraq to finish what Bush’s father never finished back in the Gulf War which was to catch Saddam Hussein. Bush achieved that but there were still American troops there even after the capture of Hussein. When Obama was elected president, one of his goals was to remove troops out Iraq and to also end the war on terror. The first troops to withdraw were the ones in Iraq, when he was was first elected in 2009, he wanted 30,000 to 50,000 troops withdrawn from Iraq by 2010 (“Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq”). By 2011 though, all troops were withdrawn from a war that was extremely unpopular. The war on terror was still a factor that concerned American citizens, as a result when Obama became president, he sent 30,000 troops to fight in the war in Afghanistan. In May of 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed in his compound in Pakistan. After the killing, bin Laden was thrown into the Arabian Sea within 24 hours (“Death of Osama bin Laden Fast Facts”). President Obama called it “the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda. Of course after the murder of bin Laden, he withdrew troops from Afghanistan. It did of course make that group significantly weaker, but three years later, a new group started to rise, ISIS. Late in Obama’s presidency, ISIS became a powerful extremist group in the Middle East through videotaped executions and even Terrorist Attacks like the Paris, Nice, and Brussels Attacks. The United States and other countries have targeted ISIS with 8,216 airstrikes since November 16, 2015 according to the Pentagon (Fantz). The responsibility of what to do with ISIS should be up to the next president’s job due to the fact that Obama’s…

    North Korea’s inability to provide its citizens with fair and humane treatment when it comes to its practices of capital punishment and its justice system is one of the country’s main problems. Even though, North Korea is not the only state who has state authorized killings, North Korea is one of the many countries who conducts its state murders heinously and unfairly. In order for the country to fix this issue, the state officials need to change their views of Juche and shift it from state-reliance to a true form of self-reliance. As a result of this, state officials will begin to allow independent marketization from its people, and not penalize citizens for their humane actions. However, this will enable the state will reencounter the issue…

    If I were to make a guess on why the US wants to stop sending high-ranking officials over to rescue American prisoners in North Korea it would be because they don’t want the high-ranking officials to be captured and put into prison. The Koreans haven’t done it yet to officials that have gone over but they might decide to. Another reason I think would be that the United States is going to stop talking and interacting with the Koreans because they are our enemies.…

    Every moment in America post 9/11, in accordance to foreign policy, is critical. The results of the attack were perceived differently from both sides of the newly phrased “war on terror.” For the victims of the attack, revenge, justice and security were envisioned and for the attackers, revenge and justice were achieved. The newly imposed threats called upon swift and dramatic changes in the policymakers tactics in order to combat the massive blow to their infrastructure. The policymakers answered with the Bush Doctrine. After witnessing the attempt, in many aspects successful, the Obama administration is attempting another route. The Obama administration wishes to expose the tactics, that can be proven a success, and follow…
