At the beginning of class we went over what we thought about what we think the U.S. should do with the whole Syria situation. Next we talked about Russia and how they would veto any type of action against Syria. Then Mr. Bruns gave us a question which was "Why does Russia defend and stand by Syria" and the answer is "Syria has been buying military weapons from Russia and Syria gave Russia a naval base for many years and because Russia is also very upset about any type of regimen change the U.S. involvement in things. Marriage is also another reason why Russia and Syria are good friends because many Russians and Syrians are married. The orthodox church is also one way they are similar. Then we discussed why a lot of countries think George Bush was a "jerk". The reason other countries say this is because Bush went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan without consulting the Security Council, and this made us look like we were selfish and bullies. To finish off the day we went over our map studying.
