A. __On October 18, 2016, White house Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the United States
was considering range of possible responses to the supposedly Russian hacking of United
States political groups. Washington D.C publicly accused the Kremlin of cyberattacks on
election systems and the democracy itself. Russia's capital Moscow denied that they were
interfering with the United States presidential election. Even in an interview with a CNN
reporter, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it was a unjustified accusation.
Larov saying "We have not seen a single fact, a single proof. Angela Stent, director of
the Center for Eurasian said the cyberattacks may be some sort of pay back from Putin
from an incident that happen with Hillary Clinton in December of 2011. That incident
was Putin being accused of instigating December 2011 acts against him while she was
B. ____Ever since the Cold War the United States and Russia have and had very high
tension between each other. Now government officials in Russia and in the United States
are on watch to see what country will make a move first. The reason behind all this
tension is military issues between both of the countries. On several incidents Russian jets
and naval vessels have buzzed (disturbed) the U.S military. As well as Moscows 2014
the lowest point since the Cold War." as well as him saying We see the United States
taking unfriendly steps toward Russia including sanctions, there are calls for isolating
Russia," he replied, adding, "it doesn't work with Russia and it's not going to

__I really think how all this hostility that two countries are causing is really childish and
unneeded. Ever since the Cold War the U.S and Russia have been hostile, like two
children at the park fighting for the top of playground. Then when one kid tries to grow
up, the immature kid pokes and pokes until their back at square one being immature kids.
We as two different kind of country and people need to fix these hostile feelings or

Relate your Event to a Historical Event (compare and contrast with current event).
_________A historical event that relates with the current event is the Cold War and the
events in the Cold War. The Cold War lasted from 1947-1991 and several events that
occurred in the Cold War relate to my three main points in the current event. Which are
Russian and US forces fighting for world control, US and Russian military having close
calls with each other and Russia spreading Communism with force. Just these events and
many other events that happen compare with my current event. Some differences are the

and will create conflict. Both countries are also state-building trying to make their
countries stronger and more resilient. Each country want to be better than the rest of
world, and they will keep expanding and creating conflict if we do not settle our
differences.
