America's Superpower

Superpower is a word used to describe a nation that has dominant factors such as military, politics and diplomacy, as well as the economy. Up to now, only the United States appeared to fulfill the standards of being a world superpower nation. In fact, the USA intervenes many armed conflicts and their big companies extremely effect on the impetus of global economy. Their decisions in the international organizations are also significant keys. In our point of view, geographic diversity of the USA plays an important role to help this country be on top of the world because it creates huge potentials for economic growth

The United States has been a super power for decades, and since America has always involved themselves in other countries' problems. Instead of isolationism, the country has practiced getting involved. Since the Monroe Presidency, America has been named the World's police force. Dispelling anarchists, and stopping coos, the united states portrays itself as the world protector. Since Monroe, some Americans have felt that isolation is the way to go, and most feel that it is our right to offer assistance. Two recent incidents, Operation Desert Storm and The War in Bosnia have allowed the United States to show off it's strength, both on the military and political level. It has also given the chance for America to evaluate it's foreign policy,

This is absolutely ridiculous once again the UN is allowing yet another genocide to happen without trying to put a stop to happen. At this point, I feel as if the UN is a weak group a people and find enjoyment in the fact that millions of people are dying in these cases. I don’t understand why they feel the need to lean on other people to solve their problems. The UN was created to make peace and peacekeeping with different nations but allowing two nations to fight against each other to stop a problem that they can stop themselves is not what they are supposed to do. What nations are you going to help make peace with if everyone in those nations is dying on your

The image of the USA has become negative. Do you agree with this statement? The United States is the most powerful nation in the world. As this statement tells you even if you are in this position, other countries with different moral values will look at our values as negative, therefore in their eyes our country is viewed as negative. Our progress and ability to better our lives in this country makes us apart from every other nation in the world. While other nations around the world refuse to allow change and progress into the future era of civilization. Most of them think that their way of living is the way to live and that our way of living, is not the correct way to live and that every other religion or culture should

Washington Rules emphasizes that the United States should order world politics. It is safe to say that since the Post-Cold War era; The United States is seen as the world’s superpower, and it is to a point where numerous countries expect us to protect them, and intervene in any situation that is not “right.” The US has taken a preemptive role on ordering the word and senses the need to help those who are not super powers in order to promote peace. America’s military remains unchallenged, spending around 736 billion dollars yearly. In addition, the American economy remains strong amongst the global financial system, and the United States political influence around the world remains very strong as well.

The United States is nearly $18.5 trillion in debt and can hardly support its own citizens, let alone a new influx of Syrian refugees. This year, it cost the U.S. $1.1 billion to bring 70,000 refugees to our country, which is roughly $15,714 per person (Somanader). Those who claim that the U.S. is behind in their efforts to assist Syrians during this crisis are very wrong; the U.S. government has been, and is currently, leading the world in response to the issue at hand, providing $4.5 billion towards healthcare and basic necessities for those suffering in Syria and its neighboring countries. We are already “the world’s largest bilateral donor of humanitarian aid” and simply cannot afford to use our resources to both

It is true that resources such as oil are maybe being exploited by our ever growing need for gas and fuel in the United States, but those eastern countries are still being paid. United States presence in these countries is often unwelcome by the unofficial governments like the faction controlling Somalia in Black Hawk Down but much of the rest of the world recognizes America’s efforts and successes in maintaining human rights and suppressing hostile or otherwise corrupt governments in less than welcoming states. Without the assistance of the United States, many countries would fall to power hungry autocrats and terrorist organizations would grow unchecked. What the United States has begun in its endeavors to keep the world in balance, must continue and “the U.S. cannot shrug off the burden of global leadership” (In Modern

While the U.S. maintained a relatively confusing agenda regarding foreign policies during the Cold War era, its attitudes are clearer in the present as globalization has strengthened connections between all international actors and made it more difficult for some to focus on maintaining hostile outlooks. The U.S. has had a long history with Syria and Israel, as the superpower has struggled to keep the two countries from abusing each-other and has, at times, provided the latter with significant financial and military support. However, U.S. involvement in Israel-Syrian relations has declined significantly in the recent decades, only to emerge in the last few years as a consequence of the fact that the Middle East currently experiences a serious political crisis.

On the other hand, a U.S. military intervention is unlikely to happen since the U.S. cannot afford, politically or economically, an unsecured contribution to the Syrian war for an unpredictable period of time, especially after Obama’s foreign policy has been focused on ending all military involvements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. army hasn’t seemed to rest from the wounds of the two major past war, and veteran families were promised that military interventions will end, which makes the issue of intervention in Syria even more complicated for the U.S.

You are waiting for a flight to Dubai at an airport and then suddenly, BOOM! A bomb explodes killing a group of tourists instantly, BOOM! Another one explodes causing a subway station to explode. Screams and blood fill the airport and subway as you run for your life. Military and police with assault rifles pour into the building, as people are evacuated from a plane that just landed. A swarm of ambulances and EMS workers go inside the building with first aid kits and huge bags over their shoulders. A woman sits on the side of the road, crying over her unconscious husband. A huge threat to human society and the world. Spreading fear and brutality around the world, with their horrific deeds. Like moths to a flame, people join this group and spread terror and massacre many people, like in Paris, Brussels, and San Bernardino. The question is, should we intervene? Or should we leave other nations to deal with this growing problem? World leaders are debating whether or not to declare war on ISIS. Should the U.S intervene with this war against terror? Or shall we leave other nations to deal with this threat to humanity? A hard decision to make, with multiple consequences, but with multiple benefits, declaring war against ISIS can be a disastrous or a beneficial decision that the U.S can make.

Take Iraq for example. There was a war that happened from 2003-2011. The United States intervened in the war, and guess what? Things got worse. Besides, it is a Civil war. The UN isn't allowed to intervene a civil war unless requested from the country itself. Not to mention, innocent civilians’ lives may be threatened. According to a recent Reuters poll, just 9 percent of Americans believe the United States should take military action in Syria (“11 Reasons “ ). Syria poses no real threat to the U.S. The U.S military’s job is to protect the security of the U.S, not to intervene in another nation’s war. Atrocities are happening all over the world. Why should the U.S intervene Syria but not the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Sierra Leone, Mali, Philippines, Russia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, or North Korea? Are the horrible things going on in Syria any worse than those in the listed

Even though there are many superpowers, only one state can be the ultimate superpower. While few believe America is not the ultimate superpower anymore, America to this day, rules the world in every aspect. In fact, the definition of a superpower states, a state powerful enough to influence events throughout the world. For instance, the United States’s military is the most superior in the world and will be for a long time.

The current international system is fragmenting rapidly since the end of the Cold War. A lot of regions in the world are still trying to find the balance of power in the international system, which the U.S. often intervenes to provide its brand of “global leadership”. Some countries like China are emerging as a global power since a few years ago. Subsequently, this will lead to a major threat to the U.S. status as a global major power. The rise of power by China in the international scene signifies the unpredictable nature of the international system. I would argue that the three most critical challenges for the U.S. arising out of this environment are the future world globalization that will cause a conflict between its domestic and foreign policy, the rise of China as a global power, and the ever globalization of terrorism. I believe that the U.S. should be pragmatic in handling its foreign policy and handle each situation independently without a fix doctrine in order to minimize the unintended consequences produced by the globalization of the world.

Excluding the first options, second and third option present a posibility in implementation. The second method ‘military intervention, cooperation with Kurdist and providing aid for Syrian refugee’ mentions UN Security Council, NATO and regional or Middle East countries should intervene in Syria by military tool that relevant to the permission of use of force. According article 2 (1) in chapter I: purposes and principles of UN charter, The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members. That means UN members must respect sovereignty of each other. In this case, ISIS is on Syrian territory. As in the article 2 (1) chapter I of UN charter, the intervention in Syria can be
