Current Events Speech
Today, I am here to talk to you about something that everyone should be aware of, and something that should put Trump to shame. On Saturday, April 8, 2017, Donald Trump had sent an order to our military for the approval to send a bomb to Syria. The main question circling around the media is, “Why did we exactly bomb Syria?”. The main reason on why Trump sent out the order was to scare Assad. Assad, first off, is Bashar al-Assad. He is the 19th and current president of Syria. Assad first violated a “red line”, that our previous president, Barack Obama had set in 2013 during the contract to end war. Assad had then signed a contract saying that he won’t use chemicals to tame down Syrian rebels and instead, use different

So what if this is going on. So what, it is not happening to me. Why should I care? Let me tell you why you should care. First, what if you were in their place. After everything that is going on, with all the attacks that are happening, wouldn’t you want help? Wouldn’t you want aid? Wouldn’t you want people to care for you? You would. If you were being constantly attacked, because you want your freedom, the freedom to say anything to do anything, you would. We are lucky enough to be in America, where we are free to express our opinions without going against the law. Imagine if that right was taken away. Your opinion just went from being what you thought, to an illegal way of expressing your thoughts. This impacts us because our country’s government is being represented as as a country who takes our victories when another country is vulnerable, do you want your government to be represented like that? Do you want to be represented in a way where we win when someone is on the ground, hurt? Because I personally don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be represent by a government like that. If you stand with me, if you agree with what I am saying, then you will use your voice. After all, two voices are stronger than
The main point of this article is to criticize Trump’s actions handling issues carrying out role of leading a nation. In response to airstrikes and nations varying justifications, the author states in source B, “chaos engulfing the Trump administration that the U.S. airstrikes on Syria had to jostle for public attention with the voluminous news of the president's scandals.”(Boot) This quote signifies the overall theme of the article that the author believes Trump and his administration actions are not sufficient in dealing with Syria. The author uses fallacies such as red herring to divert attention away from the real issue and onto Trump’s personal life. The author’s opinion used to influence readers shown when the author states, “It is hard to imagine how Trump can do his job - for example, approving military strikes on Syria - while drowning in this rising tide of scandal.” (Boot) Source B reveals the
An enraged Trump was asked whether the gas attack had crossed any lines and his response was “many many lines” especially in light of the many “babies” reported among the casualties. The president however had nothing to say about what he intended to do about the atrocity. It appears that like healthcare, nobody knew how complicated Syria is.
President Obama’s tactics in Syria is much different than President’s Bush’s tactics in Iraq. In August 2013, Obama seeked Congress approval on military action in Syria after the Syrian government used chemical attacks that killed over a thousand innocent civilians. On September 11, 2013, military action was placed on hold
Last Friday, Serene State University celebrated it commencement ceremony. The event attendance broke university records with 832 graduates, with about 350 of them being first-generation college graduates. The total number of assistance reach 6,873 people.
The document that I selected to analyze is document 25-1. Document 25-1 was a speech made by Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt that addressed Congress in 1941. The reason as to why the document was written, was because Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was explaining to Congress how the feelings felt by the Americans the day after Pearl Harbor. A historical theme that relates to this is the United States involvement in the Second World War. Before the attack, many Americans made it clear that they did not want to be involved in another foreign war. Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt did his best to not involve Americans in another foreign war, however, after the Japanese surprise attack l on Pearl Harbor, eased the American hesitations
Until this event, American president Donald Trump had been following in Obama’s footsteps by ramping up his bombing campaign against IS. After the chemical attack however, Trump publically said “My attitude toward Syria and Assad has changed very much” and just days later, he launched his strategic attack (Myre, 2017).
They came, they saw, and the conquered (some what). Last weekend, February 17th, the Westminster College Speech and debate team braved the cold wind and snow and traveled to Bloomsburg University to compete in the State championship tournament for Forensics.
It’s February 11, 1775, and the people of the New York are readying themselves for something dreadful. Crisis newspaper along with many other sources are conversing the upcoming feud between the U.S. and Great Britain under king George III. Such newspapers, address the subjects in America, addressing the current situation prior to the outbreak of the revolutionary war. Crisis newspaper questions the logic of the current status of altercation between the two countries. Crisis states, “Englishmen surely cannot be found to execute so diabolical a deed, to embrue their hands in innocent blood, and fight against their friends and country.” As one of the many adopted newspapers, you can tell that a war is coming just by reading the expressions of the authors. It reminds me about the time I watched Braveheart with my father.
President to warrant military action; as were the many thousands of civilians killed over the past years in the Syrian civil war between government forces, ISIS, and various other sectarian groups vying for power in that country, including some backed heavily by the Iranian regime, and others enjoying support from
The United States of America have always worked to advance human dignity, speaking out for freedom and against violation of human rights. The world has witnessed numerous progresses in the expansion of freedom and democracy with the efforts of the United States. Whereas, nations such as the Democratic people’s North Korea, Iran, Cuba and Syria are facing tyranny, brutality, poverty, instability, corruption and suffering. Every tyranny led country to leads
The Iranians have clearly provided support to the Assad regime during the civil war, as indicated by the increasing number of Iranian generals dying in Syria (Wright). Clinton has admitted that not acting after Bashir Al-Assad crossed the proverbial “red line” and used chemical weapons on his own people was detrimental to the administration’s integrity. With the Islamic State (ISIS) operating out of Syria under the protection of the Syrian government, throughout her tenure as Secretary of State and as a presidential candidate, Clinton has always maintained the mantra “Assad must go.”
The issue of the University of Akron’s president and administration has been a headliner for roughly six months. A student from the University of Akron has responded to president Scott Scarborough’s “State of the University” speech that was held back in october. Grant Morgan, the University of Akron student, expresses his concerns with the state of his university. The letter reads that president Scarborough said that their are two ways to make decisions with the university “by ”Ripping the Band-Aid off” in one fell swoop, or by making them gradually over two or three years” (Morgan , The Plain Dealer, 2015). Whichever way that Scarborough decides to make these changes Morgan states that the problem lies with Scarborough wishing every decision he made would not end up in the media. Morgan states that he questions why Scarborough thinks it is an issue that the public knows about his ideas and
President Trump launched a missile strike against Syria. We never know how big or small the missile was until it happens. It took 70 minutes to complete this task. Trump didn't really care about the outcome he just wanted victory no matter what happened and to think trump is one of those people who brag about it on twitter since he tweets everything he did tweet “Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and smart!” he shouldn't really have tweeted that because that started a whole new argument for people to include their points and opinion and that's really never good to start something over social media. Why did Trump even want to blow up Syria? How will that benefit anything for us? In my opinion that will just start a
As of recent, there is an ongoing debate over the response of the Obama administration related to the events occurring in Syria and the potential violation by the Syrian government of customary international law and relevant treaties and conventions in the use of chemical weapons against its own people. The conflict itself has history which is required to be thoroughly examined before conclusions can be placed and actions are to be carried out. The Syrian Civil War has not only affected the lives of Syria’s citizens but has becoming a pressing issue in direct international relations between countries like Russia and the United States. Obama’s administration has their own response to the crisis at hand and believes that a military strike is a fully legal move to make given the situation present at hand. According to the evidence, it would seem possible that a violation has not occurred and that the threat by Obama’s administration to use force in the Syrian crisis stands on illegitimate grounds because the proceedings are done by Syrian government on their own grounds. However the atrocious actions committed by the Assad regime could in fact provide legality to military intervention by the United States. Finally, the focus will be to determine whether chemical weapons are in fact the sole factor for international intervention.
