How did concern over nuclear weapons influence Kennedy's foreign policy?
You can bring up the idea of the cold war and the fear of the spread of communist governments. The fear was that if governments that were hostile towards the United States obtained nuclear weapons then we would no longer have the strategic advantage. This fear led to the Cuban Missile Crisis when the Soviet Union supplied Cuba with weaponry that could reach the United States.

U.S. foreign aid is primarily allocated to developing countries and regions facing humanitarian crises, including Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and Latin America. The aid supports various sectors such as health, education, economic development, and disaster relief. Key recipients often include countries with strategic importance to U.S. interests or those facing significant challenges, such as poverty, conflict, or disease outbreaks. Additionally, portions of the aid are directed towards supporting U.S. allies and promoting democracy and stability globally.

Why is Obama's Iran deal not subject to the two-thirds Senate vote for ratification?
While it is the case that all "treaties" require the ratification of the Senate, e.g. the two-thirds approval vote, this became incredibly difficult and cumbersome. As a result, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided that he would term his international negotiations something other than treaties, like executive agreements. Because "executive agreements" are never mentioned in the US Constitution, there is no provision requiring any congressional approval. Note that from a functional and international law perspective there is absolutely no difference between a "treaty" and an "executive agreement".
However, Congress retaliated in the 1960s, by passing a law requiring presidents to notify the legislative branch of all "executive actions" signed. Of course, this simply meant that Congress would be aware of the "executive agreement" and not in a position to oppose it. In some cases, the President will grant Congress the right to vote up or down on the "executive agreement" he reached during the notification process. This up or down vote is a plain majority vote in the Congress, but can be vetoed by the President. This effectively makes the approval requirement for an "executive agreement" the almost-exact reverse of the approval requirement for a "treaty". Instead of two-thirds of the Senate being required to approve a "treaty", now, two-thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the House of Representatives are required to override the Presidential veto preventing their disapproval of the "executive action" from coming to pass.
Almost every President since FDR has taken advantage of this incredibly useful tool and what Obama is doing on the Iran deal is no different.
Why does the US hate Palestine?
The United States does not hate Palestine. On the countrary, the US is the largest donor to both UNRWA, the UN organization that looks out for Palestinian refugees) and out-contributes all of the Arab countries combined, and supports the government of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank with funds and police training initatives done with Jordanian assistance.
However, very often, people only wish to discuss strictly military alliances. If that is the case, then, the question's assumption that the US opposes aid to militants in Palestine is correct. I would argue though that military allies of Palestine, like Iran, are actually more detrimental to Palestinians than helpful. Iran is radicalizing the Palestinian populace, making long-term peace less and less likely and providing the weapons that give organizations like Hamas the feeling that they should strike. Both of these acts perpetuate the cycle of violence and are in the worst interests of the actual Palestinians. Since it is unlikely that Palestinians could ever effectively challenge Israel in an offensive engagement, the radicalization of Palestinians is directly against their interest since victory is hopeless.

How would you characterized napolean foreign policy?
Napoleon's foreign policy was characterized by aggressive expansionism and the pursuit of French dominance in Europe. He sought to spread revolutionary ideals and establish a French-led continental system, often through military conquest and strategic alliances. This approach led to significant territorial gains but ultimately resulted in widespread enmity among other nations, culminating in coalitions against him. His quest for empire ultimately faltered, leading to his downfall and the restoration of monarchies in Europe.
What is a continuing source of tension between Syria and the US?
Tensions between the United States and Syria come from three major sources. Syria disapproves (to put it mildly) American support for the State of Israel at all and certainly more than the Palestinians. The United States sees Syria as a puppet government propped up by Iran and sheltering and funding numerous terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad. Finally, the United States disagrees with the Syrian policy of torturing dissenters and killing their own citizens.
Since the end of the Cold War the most persistent problems facing US foreign policy has been what?
Dealing with the conflicts in other nations and regions.
The Monrow doctrine was the policy that any efforts to establish colonies in America would be viewed as an act of aggression. It lead to a "Big Brother" policy in the late 19th century, attempting to open the Latin American countries to U.S. leadership and markets.
The United States is not obligated by any standing treaty between the United States and Israel to intercede in Israel's defense. To date, of the numerous wars that Israel has fought, the United States has only ever provided economic support or gifting weapons. No American Soldier has given his life in an Israeli War. If Iran declared war on Israel, the United States would probably act similarly and may itself declare war on Iran, but this will not be out of any written treaty, but purely based on American regional interests.
Why are the Americans occupying Iraqis?
The Occupation of Iraq (not of Iraqis) ended on 16 December 2011. The purpose of the Occupation was to provide a stable environment for the newly developing Republic of Iraq before handing over control to them. Conservatives have argued that the withdrawal in 2011 was too early and the Republic of Iraq is now too weak to fend off Islamic State.
As of 2016, some small numbers of US Military Advisors have been sent to Iraq to advise Iraqi troops on dealing with Islamic State, but these soldiers do not "occupy Iraq" because they are strictly there to liaise with the Iraqi Army, not perform any civil administration.
Was the Vietnam War Imperialism or non imperialism?
The Vietnamese see the Vietnam War as an act of US Imperialism, trying to subvert Vietnam as a US colony or client state and see South Vietnam as a "fake country that only exists because of American support" much the same way as Arabs see Israel as a "fake country that only exists because of American support". Of course, many who lived in South Vietnam believed that regime to be legitimate, especially if they were affiliated with it. Consequently, most members of the Vietnamese People's Army and the VietCong Guerrillas considered themselves Anti-Imperialists, since they were fighting "American Imperialism".
Whether that is the US intention to create a client state in Vietnam or not is debatable; certainly, most Americans do not have that perspective. However, much of American foreign policy in the Cold War was to create client states and allies, so it is not inconceivable that this was the intent.
As a result of the us foreign policy after the outbreak of war the central powers?

Why do some Iraqis hate Americans?
Answer 1
we invaded their country to help them. but the media and governments tell Americans that Iraqis hate them.
Answer 2
That's not how the residents of those countries see it. They see the invasion as for the benefit of "the West", and as interference in their internal affairs. We in Britain had a taste of this recently, albeit in a far smaller and more facile way, with President Obama coming to the UK to try to tell us how to vote over the EU, and Donald Trump announcing his intention to do the same. That on top of the TTIP negotiations being held in secret between the EU's ruling bodies and the US Govt, arousing very strong suspicions of the real beneficiaries. People in other countries don't hate Americans as people but do not want what they see as the US Govt and commerce trying to run the rest of the world, politically, financially and culturally.
