Trade McTradeface

The US has always been a major trader in the world thanks to the capitalist beliefs and standing that most of the Presidents have had. Trade has always been a major factor in foreign policy decisions made through the years, and this is the case even today.
        
         The first inters for the US has to do with what they see valuable. If there is a country in the middle of no where that fifers nothing, but wants to buy a lot of materials, then the US would find these nations very valuable. They might seek to exploit weaker nations to achieve their goals. We see this a lot in under developed nations, but another way is creating good trade with Asian and European nations. Not only can these help the economy, but help with building close ties with those nations.

         I do not believe the US is trying to create a greater world order, but to satisfy local and state interests. The US has always thought about satisfying the nations own goals, and the US has no need for a greater world order in my opinion. Maybe the US is trying to create a larger world order through trade, but it does not seem likely especially with the stances of a lot of politicians who value grade as it is. Theoretically we could be trying to create a world order, but that would require quite the scheme, and I just do not see that happening.


         The US always has been one of the world leaders in trade, even in our isolationist years we did have some trade, albeit limited. Many may think that the US is trying to create a world order of trade, but in reality the US is just doing what it always does and tries to get the best out of trade top make a profit and satisfy state interests.

Memorandum Iran

TO: President Donald Trump FROM: Nathaniel Pappas Date: October 18, 2017 RE: Iran Nuclear Deal Memorandum on Iran Nuclear Deal Introduction It has been well documented that Iran has despised the United States since the fall of the Shaw. When the Ayatollahs came into power on the onset of their new government, they have had a strong opinion on the Jewish State of Israel and the United States. Several instances of Iranian terrorism have happened, with the deaths of hundreds of Americans. Iran has also backed terrorist attacks against Israel as well. Iran directed the terror group known as Hezbollah, to carry out the 1983 Beirut Barracks bombing which killed 300 people, over 200 of which were American. They are state sponsors of terrorism, to this day they have not stopped supporting terrorists and even captured and embarrassed US Navy men in 2014. Their leaders still call for the destruction of Israel and the civilians chant death to America. The Iran Nuclear deal that h...

Is the US trying to lead a World Order with trade?

The United States has an interest in trade to create a freer and more prosperous world, which in turn helps spread US ideals. Our country has the highest GDP. We are extremely influential when it comes to trade and globalization. Countries will often abide by certain US standards to trade with us because our country is such a powerful country. With this being said though, I believe that the original interest is to create a freer and more prosperous world.  The US could not be a super power if we were only trying to led a world order. We trade with other countries to not only benefit our own citizens, but trade with other countries helps their citizens as well. Several poorer, developing countries find economic boosts when they open up their boarders to trade. With this being said, trade is only successful in stable governments, which often are democratic regimes. Many democracies are influenced by the US, arguably one of the most stable democracies, if not countries, in the worl...

Walked to the Hill to type this

I think NATO is extremely important to US Foreign Policy and National Interests. NATO perpetuates alliances and as a nation that stands from European countries, it ensures that if there is ever an attack on our soil, they will fight the fight as if it is their own. Though we have a very strong military, if not the strongest in the world, we are surrounded by countries that do not have the greatest military capacity. Even though Canada is a member of NATO, we could not solely rely on their military to suffice if there is an attack on our soil. With that being said, if there is an attack on Canadian soil, chances are there could be an attack on U.S. soil. Though the U.S. and Canada are natural allies because we are neighboring countries, the location to another country does not ensure an alliance and having Canada as a contractual ally makes an attack on Canada much less likely since they are neighbors to one of the most powerful countries in the world.      ...
