Pros And Cons Of Donald Trump During The Cold War
Dangerous, disconnected, and non-decorus is what the United States has become since the election of Donald Trump. Distance between the U.S. and other neighboring or allied countries, has become further apart because of Trump. Near the beginning of Trump’s presidency, he defined his ideals and cleansed out the White house to make better decisions for the country, but there are very little better decisions. He has made incorrect choices to avoid problems, he has not looked back on what has happened to determine what will, and worst of all, he has threatened other countries with military force. That is why in this day and age, the United States of America is no longer secure because of weaker national bonds, greater threat of nuclear war, and …show more content…
is no longer as safe as it was. Trump repeatedly agrees to or does not agree to anything at all, which then affect human beings and their safety. Trump making nuclear war a possibility more so than a couple years ago endangers not thousands, or hundreds of thousands, but millions of people. Keeping people of a country safe from biohazards and epidemics is important, yet Trump put it off to work on nuclear weapons, war historian Reid Kirby states, “[t]he Trump administration had left 26 key roles for National Biodefense" (Kirby 385), which leads to holes in prevention and safety in defense against biohazards and even weapons countries may use. If the U.S. is attacked, we will be on our own the way Trump is cooperating with other countries, the CAP blatantly marks, “[f]ewer nations will want to work for us (the U.S.), fewer will trust our word, and still fewer will want to fight alongside us if and when the time comes" (CAP n.pg.), the time being war. Wars have been brutal throughout history and with this modern ages newer and more powerful weapons, they will be even bloodier especially without help from countries the U.S. has connected with in the past. Donald Trump may be leading the U.S. into one of the bloodiest wars ever if and when the military force coming from the U.S. sparks a fight between

    The Cold War took off after the end of the Second World War when the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the two global dominant superpowers each grasping ideologies that were dichotomous from each other. This adverse relationship continued for half a century and the clash of two distinct and differing political ideologies of communism and capitalism saw no clear conclusion or victory for either side. The tense atmosphere resonated not only in the United States and the Soviet Union, but also around the world and into space. For most of the fifty years of the cold war, the ideological struggle and the many indirect physical conflicts between the West and the Soviet Union were in a deadlock with no visible success of either side. However,…

    The Cold war saw the introduction of new material and the drastic change in technology. There were monumental differences between this war and the second World War. The main difference was the use of technology and a host of different weaponry. It was a period of time in which technological developments symbolized power- a great amount of power. The cold war was a war of sour treatment between the US and the USSR; the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc respectively. Both nations were aware of the increase of the use of weapons and used that to determine the nation's’ destructive power. It was at this time that innovation occurred and today we enjoy the great benefit of these technological advancements, despite the human and political costs…

    Many Americans believed that Truman's foreign policy did not work. China had fallen to communist, and the American troops had been sent across the pacific to fight in the Korean War. During the cold war, it shaped the way Eisenhower's thinking from the moment he started office. He was convinced that the key to victory in the cold war was a strong economy, not just the army.

    Nevertheless, Turkey now needs our support. Since the war, Turkey has sought additional financial assistance from Great Britain and the United States for the purpose of effecting that modernization necessary for the maintenance of its national integrity. That integrity is essential to the preservation of order in the Middle East. The British government has informed us that, owing to its own difficulties, it can no longer extend financial or economic aid to Turkey. As in the case of Greece, if Turkey is to have the assistance it needs, the United States must supply it. We are the only country able to provide that help.…

    How can we fix our neighbors’ problems when we ourselves do not have our own house straight? To Trump, we must become a role model, to become a shining beacon, for the rest of the world. However, it is a mistake to assume that we can resolve our civil issues before conditions in other nations deteriorate beyond repair. The story of the US is a story of constant strive toward the riddance of the ever present civil injustices. Starting with our revolution for independence, followed by the eventually abolition of slavery, then the civil rights movement in the mid-twentieth century and the current contention with the police force, new problems have always sprouted from the cracked pavement of our society. Yet, during that time, the US was able to fight off the oppressive forces of Hitler’s Germany and USSR’s communism. And whether we agree with the outcomes or not, the US was successful in getting its way by overthrowing Saddam Hussein in an effort to spread democracy or find the WMD. From these events, we see that the US is a fully capable “lecturer” despite being handicapped by national issues. Turning to an isolationist approach would have unforeseen impacts as we loosen the pressure on more volatile nations to respect civil liberties and human rights…

    According to various online historical articles written by the history.com staff the U.S has been associated with over 230 wars since the beggining of the thirteen colonies. As the definition of “again” has inflicted, in order to make America great again we would have to return to a word of war.. With America’s past history of 239 war, another myriad of wars can be added to this list. The infamous politician, Donald J. Trump has threatened various countries as well as groups of people. He has been noted to have had said, “The United States should not try so hard to stop nuclear proliferation.” (the washington post.com) Trump had declared, “proliferation is going to happen anyway… If Japan had that nuclear war threat, I’m not sure that would be a bad thing for us. Nor would it be so bad, if South Korea and Saudi Arabia had nuclear weapons too.” The stress on anti- proliferation movements is a pathway carved for nuclear war. We would not only be returning to a world of war, but one of nuclear…

    Living under the threat of nuclear war and living under the threat of terrorism have a lot in common. Terrorism defines many different situations, such as 9/11, a shooter entering a public place, poison being put into our air or drinking water, etc. The fear is the same, we are afraid that a situation could occur that could harm, or even kill, us or our loved ones, and there is nothing we can do to prevent it. Just like schools were teaching students what to do in case of a nuclear bomb during the Cold War, schools are now teaching students what to do in case of a terrorist attack. Since the shooting at the elementary school Connecticut, schools all over the country have been teaching the students what to do and how to handle the situation. I believe that this is a very positive thing. School shootings seem to be happening…
