WHY IS THE U.S GOVERNMENT PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN IT COME TO OTHER COUNTRIES CONFLICT?

After the United States won the Cold War against the Soviet Union during the 1940 throughout 1990s, it took the wheel and drives the world to it political correction, where it want the rest of the world to participate in it. We have seen many invasion that our government had done, and continue to do so as part of controlling the world, show off our military power, and gaining some economic interest. At the beginning of this month the Dalai Lama visited the United State, and spoke in many universities. I happened to follow most of his speech, and begin to think a lot about his country Tibet, and what action the U.S government has taken or where they stand now toward the Tibet, and Chine issue. The conflict between the People Republic of China and Tibet, is kind of the general knowledge, but for those who don't know, I will give a little background history. Tibet was an independent country until 1949, when the communist government under Mao Zedong invited it as a part of China. During the invention the U.S government was against the communist government, so it supported the Tibetans' believes of being free from the communist. But somehow in the blue, the relationship between People Republic of China, and the U.S grew stronger, and now the voice of Tibetans citizens of wanting their freedom of religion participation, and to be independent from China is stronger, but there is not any The U.S government has take. Do you thing the reason is because we will lose relationship with China? or is because the land of Tibet has nothing we can get from it?

Presidential Elections and people

         As many people know, the presidential election coming in 2016 has already brought out rumors of who will run. Many people believe Hillary Clinton will run again. She ran against president Obama in 2008 and lost. Around campus there are groups that support her and want her to run. The reason why the key word is rumors is because Clinton has not said she will officially run. If Hillary ran in 2016 she would have a good chance of winning. About 82% of democrats want her to run and 52% of independent voters want her to run for 2016. The election will be a mystery for all of America because Obama cannot run again and no matter what there will be a new president for 2017.
        The presidential election will show as does almost any other election how people will vote as to the red or the blue and by these results one can look at why. What would be the main views that differ from each candidate that would make a person vote from one person to the other. Looking at a comparison from Romney and Obama views, Obama wanted the troops out of Iraq while Romney wanted the troops to stay in Iraq. Ironically enough, Obama promised to take them out in 2009, 2012, and 2013. Some say he wants them stay there, but is telling the people what they want to hear until his term is over. This is just one of the main differences in views told to the public. The one big similarity from the same website was "Obamacare" verses "Romneycare". They are the same type of healthcare act yet these two are on two different sides of the chart. Even though Obama and Romney have very similar views, Obama still won the 2012 election. This is very well a sign that people are too worried which part the candidates are affiliated to whether than who truly is the better candidate.

President Obama and the Russian Forces

         The past few weeks, much of the United States has been looking at the Ukraine and their overthrow of their president and creating a new government. We also see Russian president; Vladimir Putin trying to put the Russian military in the Ukraine because of its "illegitimate government".  As the previous Link shows, Putin has deployed over 16,000 troops to the Crimean Peninsula which is where much of this is taking place. Russia is worried that because the Ukraine is right on their border and once part of Russia that this "falling under European Influence" a white house official stated. There is also a Crimean referendum which would join the Crimean Peninsula with Russia.
     President Obama on the other hand stands with the fact that the Crimean referendum is currently violating International Law and saying that "we are passed the days of being able to redraw country lines by government power". President Obama makes the logical point about "Vladimir Putin's rationale for his incursion into Crimea was not "fooling anybody" and that Russian "meddling" in Ukraine would isolate Moscow". In this situation, President Obama is a very Effective president in not only the United State's sake, but in the independence of the Ukraine government. There is now a point where using Germany as a mediator, Putin can take out many of his troops from the Ukraine and still not lose the authority.
