Summary:
Senate Democrats drop reforms from an aid package set for Ukraine on Tuesday. The funds would have increased the Ukraine loan package while ratifying changes that only the United States has opposed. President Obama proposed those changes to European allies whom have agreed, but won’t be providing as much money as he proposed to the cause. “The governance changes would raise the borrowing limit of countries like Ukraine at the multilateral lending institution, while giving more authority to emerging economic heavyweights like China, Brazil — and Russia. The Obama administration painted them as vital to a Ukraine aid package, but Republicans were never convinced.” “But Republican leaders saw them more as a bargaining chip and were pressing to swap the changes for an agreement from the administration to delay final Internal Revenue Service regulations on political groups that conceal the name of their donors by incorporating as tax-exempt “social welfare” organizations.” Both these quotes represent two different viewpoints on this issue, one being other countries will take it for granted and emerge China, Brazil and Russia; but others view it as a distraction from taxes and the IRS.
Analysis:
This has to do with what we are talking about in class because it has to deal with the differences between political parties and how Democrats and Republicans both have differing views on the issues at hand.
Reflection:
I believe that the United States should aid Ukraine in another way then giving them money. The US is already in $17.5 trillion of debt so why should it be leaning money to a country for support. The United States could help by trying to figure out another way to solve the issue instead of just paying them off.

    The illegal trade in exotic fauna and animal parts is the third largest illegal business globally: second only to narcotics trafficking and human trafficking. South East Asia is increasingly becoming the centre of the animal trade both in the procurement stage and as a transit point, where deals are brokered and sales are made. This trade has had a significant impact on a fragile ecosystem already threatened by human-environment conflict. Most tropical forests are already experiencing ‘empty forest’ syndrome, characterised…

    Ukraine's economy is plunging; its currency has lost 30 percent of its value this year; and commerce with the country's largest trading partner, Russia, is fraying. Moscow has threatened to turn off the gas next week without a substantial down payment on the $2.5 billion it claims Ukraine owes for past supplies, a move that could shut down much of Ukraine's industry.All of them form a big headache to the new elected president Poroshenko.But most of all, Poroshenko urgently needs to find a way to convince eastern Ukrainians, trapped between armed separatists and Ukrainian army, that he can offer a way to national unity that undercuts the rebels by speaking to their concerns. Even as Poroshenko gave his first press conference as leader on Monday, violence in the eastern region of Donetsk was spiking to unprecedented levels, with casualties by many accounts now running into the hundreds.…

    The 2013 U.S. Government shut down demonstrates the powerful and destructive effects of conflicts of interest on groups, nations, and the global community. Notwithstanding press releases to the contrary, it is fairly clear that the repeated refusal to come to agreement on national policy over the last few decades is strongly linked to the interests of Democrats and Republicans to establish favorable positions to benefit their respective organizations for the coming elections.…

    Recently with the Ukrainian presidential elections, the relationship between the U.S. and the Ukraine has come to the forefront of International policy. Ukraine has been making strides in reformatting its government and culture in a change from communism to democracy. Already they have changed from a command to free market, to an ownership society, and the consolidation of powers should be coming along smoothly with the new president. Lastly, the Ukrainian government has shown its willingness to work with western countries by aligning some polices with the E.U., N.A.T.O., and the U.S. This willingness was also proven in their part in the signing of the START treaty and the signing of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty…
