Foreign Intervention in International Conflicts Everyday, lives are lost due to fighting of different nation against each other, as well as within each of them. This is why foreign intervention is an important problem that needs to be discussed. There are many interventions that the US themselves have taken apart of. Some of these include the Spanish American War, The US Occupation of Haiti, The US Intervention of Dominican Republic, The US Intervention in Yugoslavia, The US Invasion of Invasion

than normal. This mindset is a form of determinism that serves no other purpose than to perpetuate the need for more and more weapons, similar to the point made above arguing against the idea of MAD. As stated by Brian Kester, “[a] perceived threat is more likely to provoke a violent reaction if the people threatened feel they can strike with impunity, and space weapons would add significantly to the feeling of American impunity.” This echoes ethical considerations regarding vulnerability and helps

The Fire Dragon of Vietnam During the Vietnam War the M42 (Duster) tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) vehicle influenced the future versatility and capabilities of the Air Defense Artillery systems of today’s United States Army. This system put a lasting impression on the minds and confidence of the American Army Soldiers. These Soldiers actively participated in defending the South Vietnamese from the North Vietnamese and its southern allies, known as the Viet Cong (or Vietnamese

soldiers the best and brightest engineers and physicists that the world has ever known. The front lines are the exponentially long math equations that produce precise launch equations that place objects in orbit around our Earth. Those objects are satellites and their functions are as numerous as the varieties of their uses multiplied by the nations that own them. They control everything from the precise time that is printed on your Starbucks receipt to the exact location that a Tomahawk cruise missile

deployment of weapons of mass destruction, opening the door for space-faring actors to deploy weapons in space, if they so choose. But what is a space weapon? Furthermore, just because the US can, should it deploy weapons in space? My colleague Peter Kamocsai defines space weapons as, “Any land-, sea- or air-based weapon able to damage space systems, such as satellites, their ground stations and communication receivers… intended to attack space or ground targets.” To be sure, space weapons are not one-dimensionally

both the United States and the Soviet Union knew that an attack upon the other would be catastrophic to themselves in theory restraining themselves from attacking the other. The risks brought by the use of these weapons was so horrible that they refrained from using their nuclear weapons. Both sides did not know capacity of the enemy's arsenal being an arms race in wish the country with the biggest gun or largest arsenal is the victor not knowing the exact capabilities of your adversary led to a

Space Debris In 1957, the first artificial earth satellite Sputnik 1 was launch into space [1]. Humans entered the space age. With the development of the space industry, more and more orbital debris is produced. It is becoming a potential hazard now. Increasing amount of space debris attracts each country’s attention. Space experts are trying to find the way to reduce and eliminate the amount of orbital debris. This paper first illustrates what space debris is, the size and the amount of space debris

best space-based support possible.”2 A new Space Force would take control of space-based missile defense systems, missile warning and tracking, networks of information instantly transmitted to deflect the enemy, anti-satellite weapons, satellite defense weapons, and space-to-Earth weapons.3 This not only benefits the Air Force, but also the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps as well. In a time of joint warfare operations, it is highly probable that a separate force focused exclusively on space would be

used for offense (something that Mikhail Gorbachev did not believe). The other treaty that this missile defense system ignored was the The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which stated that no country was allowed to place any satellite or other bodies into space carrying any type of weapon of mass destruction. This caused plans to put nuclear warheads in space to be halted, but all other plans, such as the X-ray lasers and defense systems were

Ronald Reagan was an actor and cowboy that must of the world didn’t take serious at first! But once he took the oath of office; he would get the world’s attention. He enters into office with the United States in an economic and military mess. He would fix the economic mess by cutting taxes and jump starting the economy. The military would be fixed by his Doctrine. The Reagan Doctrine was an aggressive foreign policy from 1981-87 in his first term as President he designed a plan to roll back Communism
