US Foreign Policy

The US and other countries implement economic foreign policy through a variety of mechanisms. These include imposing trade restrictions such as tariffs and quotas, negotiating and signing trade agreements, providing aid and grants to other countries, and leveraging economic sanctions to influence behavior. Additionally, countries may engage in currency manipulation, investment promotion, and regulatory cooperation to shape their economic relationships with other nations.

There are several important assumptions in the question. The first assumption is that because Western countries are majority-Christian, they will naturally pursue political interests in-keeping with the values of that religion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Historically, European nations broke out of the idea of a united Christendom in the Renaissance and fought each other openly even though they had the same religion. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) showed a pivotal turning point when Catholic France sided with the Protestant Countries against the Catholic Countries led by the Spanish/Austrian Hapsburgs. The reason for this shift was geopolitical. From that period on, Western countries would be motivated primarily due to geopolitical concerns as opposed to religious ones. It is no surprise that Jews were beginning to see toleration during this period since Christian Anti-Semitism was giving way to commercial arguments in favor of bringing skilled Jewish labor into countries that had previously expelled Jews, like England and the Low Countries.

The second assumption in this question is that Western Nations do not show favor to the Islamic World. Saudi Arabia and the other oil-rich emirates are strongly protected and defended by Western countries. The United States led the call to defend Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War to stop the Iraqi Army along with the help of nearly every Western European country. The United States has not intervened militarily in any Israeli conflict, even those with multiple armies. (It is worth noting that the Soviet Union actually did send soldiers to assist Egypt in the War of Attrition.) The United States also gives a massive amount of aid to Egypt (making it the second-highest recipient of USAID after Israel). The United States has very close diplomatic and state relationships with Turkey and Jordan. It was discovered that the United States sent more priority CIA cables to Jordan than to Israel, indicating Jordan's important role in US foreign policy.

The final assumption is that the Church still holds to the line in Matthew where Jews take upon themselves the bloodguilt for the Crucifixion. The recent Popes, and the Catholic Church in general, have made clear that this part of Matthew (if not the whole book) is a polemic and that the truth is that Romans executed Christ. Many Protestant Churches (like the Lutheran and Episcopalian Churches) got there even sooner than the Catholics. Since Christian Leadership does not hold those lines in the Book of Matthew to be necessarily authentic or worth following, Christian Leadership does not even advocate for them.

However, even with all of these misconceptions, there is still clear support from the United States towards Israel in a way that is unique and different from the US interaction with the Islamic World. The United States support for the State of Israel comes from a variety of sources. Firstly, the two nations both have liberal democracies creating a similar cultural and political base. Israel has cooperated with the United States on diplomatic issues, military and intelligence exchanges, large amounts of trade, and significant technological investment. In addition, there a numerous Americans who support the State of Israel because of religious convictions on top of the already-listed reasons.

It would be hard for them to say anything considering that there is no Jewish-Islamic War.

As for the Arab-Israeli Conflict, which may be what is being alluded to, the United States supports a peaceful two-state solution, recognizing Israel and a future Palestinian Arab State. However, the United States holds that Palestine can only gain independence through a mediated settlement.

Iran's leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, wanted to stop British Colonialism in his country so he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, preventing Britain from taking Iran's resources. The British were very angry and guilt tripped America into helping (Britain lent America a hand in the Korean War). Americas policies and view on the Middle East was severely changed after the Korean War. They thought that Communism was much more of a threat now and building alliances in the Middle East and containing Communism was of top priority. Thus the birth of operation AJAX. The idea was concocted by SIS, but performed by the CIA. This operation savagely eliminated the Mossadegh government. However, this posed as a problem. The population supported and liked Mohammad Mossadegh very much. Then the United States imposed (As seen from the point of view of the Iranians) a puppet; Mohammad Reza Phlavi (The Shah). Everything the Shah did, was seen as U.S. supported. The Shah had a very different political standpoint than Mossadegh. Mossadegh was a "Necktie." A Necktie has western values, democratic and modern ideals; they are also are pro-education. While the Shah was in power he expressed none of these. In fact he was a dictator and his army imposed so many human right issues that the Iranians were fed up. While the Shah was in power he also weakened the neckties so far that when Iran finally stood up and pronounced a revolution. The only people left were the "Turbans." The Turbans are religious and follow old Islamic values. A Turban by the name of Ayatollah Khomeini took power. His ideals were the exact opposite of what America wanted. If the U.S. had never been involved in Iran. Then the Necktie, Mossadegh, would of created the government they were trying to impose on Iran. You can't impose a government on the people if the leader is not supported by the people.

No. Aside from it being a moral wrong to deport people on account of their religion, it is also a violation of federal law to do so.

The Iran Nuclear Agreement was an executive agreement because Obama chose to name it an executive agreement. There is nothing in the Agreement that makes it an executive agreement as opposed to a treaty, but Obama was well aware that a treaty requires two-thirds approval by the Senate and he could not count on two-thirds of Senators approving the agreement. As a result, he chose to make it an executive agreement, which only needs an up or down vote from half of the senators.

The US is a net importer of fossil fuels which means that fossil fuels used in the United States come from foreign countries. If those fuels are needed to run the industries and cars that power the American economy, than the US can be held hostage by those foreign countries by their choice to deprive us of the necessary fossil fuels. This actually happened in 1973 with the Arab Oil Embargo, when Arab countries were incensed by US support for Israel and therefore cut oil production in order to hold the US (and other Western nations) hostage and force the US (and other Western nations) to cave to their demands to cease support for Israel. Thankfully, the US was able to remain uncowed, but other nations like Japan were in a much worse position and have pursued a Pro-Arab foreign policy from 1973 onwards.

The hydrogen bomb, which is incredibly destructive would fit into the "massive retaliation" part of the "mutually assured destruction" policy. Such a weapon makes the game of brinkmanship all the more important, because a fall into all-out war would be the destruction of major metropolises and millions of casualties instantly.

The US exports corn to Libya.

The US backed the Shah of Iran who was an authoritarian monarch.

Truman noted that Communist Guerrillas were making inroads in Greece and, in order to prevent a Communist takeover of the country, funds needed to be given to the fledgling Greek government.

The United States did adopt the foreign policy US pivot to Asia so that they could control countries in the greater Middle East.

== == John Foster Dulles believed that communism was evil. He found it impossible to consider the Soviet Union anything but an enemy of the democratic beliefs of the United States. He did not believe a nation could be neutral in the Cold War. One must be for democracy and the ideals of the US Constitution, or support communism. Dulles divided the world into "us" and "them." You were either a supporter of the US foreign policy ideals, or an enemy of the US. Dulles believed the US should use such agencies as the CIA to ensure a pro-US government in nations. An example was seen in 1953 when the US helped the Shah of Iran overthrow a government disliked by the US. Dulles advocated a policy of brinkmanship--taking the US to the brink of war in our relations with communism and the USSR in particular.

The United States has condemned Hamas' actions and continues to label them a terrorist organization. It endorses, but does not assist in maintaining the blockade of Gaza. However, the Obama Administration did ask Israel to show some restraint during Operation Cast Lead and organized the ceasefire efforts in Operation Pillar Defense.

In 1840, the Justice Taney US Supreme Court attempted to clarify for Congressional guidance the definition of a treat which would involve the US Senate. At that time Justice Taney declared that a treaty was a compact made for perpetuity or for a considerable amount of time requiring repeated acts or agreements on matters between the US and foreign nations. The treaty could also be an issue that was accomplished by one act alone.

The aim of this decision is to retain the resources in the business that are required to run the business or make additional investments in the business, as long as the returns earned exceed the required return.

The US was relatively safe from Italy and Germany because there is over 3,500 miles of Atlantic Ocean between them.

Even if one of these countries were to try to attack the US, this was a time before jets and long-range missiles, so it would have to be a very large force- which would be pretty easy to spot coming. Additionally, the force would have to somehow slip past the powerful British Navy as well as the US Navy, both of which were superior to the German and Italian navies. Such a large force would also mean diminished military forces in Europe, making it difficult to continue conquering and controlling their neighbors. So militarily, it made no sense for Germany or Italy to try to directly attack the US.

Lastly, until just before the US actually entered the war, the US was not directly threatened by either country. Both Germany and Italy tended to attack their neighbors, not countries that were so far away. The furthest attack made by either country was when Italy conquered Ethiopia- but Italy already ruled Somalia as a colony, so they were still just attacking a neighbor.
