The American people, workers, and military are dealing with hard, unfair struggles. The majority of American people are facing the worst situations in finance. At the same time, armies are facing the worst situations about wellness and individual safety. These issues would require the federal government to pay further attention. People are surrounded by major difficulties over a tough period of time today, and millions of people believe that We Can Make America Great Again. And we can make a nation with a better state of welfare and security. And this is what the people truly deserve. As we are facing tough times, the federal government must decide over the public’s financial status, the U.S. foreign force issues, and the trade war issues. Not chilling up a little bit financially, and pretending that I’m cool, would be backbreaking soon. There are major challenges ahead, and failure is not an option.

The federalists’ effort and also the President’s burden for those challenges and complications ahead of our way, the threats on the U.S. Armed Force, and also the people’s lifetime struggles, and the majority of low-income people’s financial debts (the people who are called the 99 percent people) requires the government to do the best thing possible for the people to come over the current issues. Tough times challenging the American people.

The government shall make a decision over the global trade war. The trade war affects the majority of the peoples’ financial status. The trade war means two economic powers set trade barriers (import and export bans) on each other to overcome the negative after comes of the economic growth of the opposition nation, and to save their own nation from the other competitive country. However, it would create several problems for the public to maintain their goods from the other country. Increment in diplomatic tensions of the United States would bring more threats to the people in service to the nation. Aside of the great challenges about the trade war and the U.S. financial crisis, there are more struggles ahead of the way, including international tensions between North and South Korea, the possibilities about raise of a more variety of global armed groups, and the Middle Eastern Cold War between the Sunni and Shia authorities and the relative conflicts in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

Iraq, during the early 21st century, was a very affectionate power in the Middle East. The dictatorial regime of Iraq, itself, also had several plans for overthrowing the Iranian government. Saddam Hussein was the leader of the Sunni Iraq before the invasion of his country. To get the superiority over the Gulf, however, during the last decades, Saudi Arabia, its American allies, and on the other side the Iranian government engaged in serious conflicts. The invasion of Iraq, and also the Iranian mission in Iraq, and therefore the relative conflicts in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria afterwards, caused several problems, violation, and death. Meanwhile, just during the proxy conflict between the Sunni state of Saudi Arabia and the Iranian Shia government (the Middle Eastern Cold War) for application of microbial weapons (cholera) in Yemen, several thousands of people lost their lives. The cholera attack caused serious health conditions for millions of Yemeni people. The Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen against the Houthi military group began in March 2015.

There would be a variety of new complications following empowerment and rise of several more global armed groups, and rise of international partisans wars. And, thereby, there would be new complications about several forms of conflicts by, or between, Islamic political parties with a variety of ideological devotions, or even between several working parties. And, also, there would be the same thing observable in African Islamic military parties. These issues must get reconsidered for the people as the U.S. top priorities. The Middle Eastern Cold War is worsen than the Vietnam War for those agents residing in the Middle East.

Violation, lack of security, and radicalization are strengthened in the Middle East. There are several groups of truly violated people and radical policymakers in American opposition countries who are supporting the act of terrorism. Those opponent groups strengthened their brutalities against the American people. This issue has social, cultural, and religious roots. Human originated causes for all types of the internal (intranational) violence, naturally, only come from social, cultural or religious roots. These social, cultural or religious roots build up these forms of violence, and shape these violated attacks. The issue not only causes national complaints for the United States people, but it can result in several internal complications and threats for the native people of those countries. Condemnation of the female societies from going to schools, kidnapping girls, or attacking Christian churches are just a few of those internal complications about the native people of those countries. Meanwhile, the most obvious form of these destructive activities, against the United States people, includes kidnapping the U.S. citizens, or suicide bombing attacks. Now whether the United States government chooses to fight or to defend the nation from major conflicts, the government has to save the army and U.S. service staff from major complications. Our government has to bring them back from insecure territories.

Furthermore, tensions between South Korea and North Korea are at the point of breaking into an armed conflict. And there is the same thing predictable about Iranian-Israeli issues. On the other hand, there is tariff’s pressures on the Americans-Chinese economic cooperation. China is considered as the most powerful economic competitor of the United States. And the President has to decide whether a clearly defined negotiation with the U.S. opposition party is needed, the trade war with the east must be continued, or a real war could be the solution. If he keeps persisting on making further negotiations, he shall ensure the service members’ family that the U.S. staff would be safe from being hostages, or sentenced to death, or being sent to prison. Following the fall of the Soviet Union to date, the United States failed to make it.

The most obvious form of capital punishment in the Middle Eastern countries (mainly those underdeveloped nations) is killing people by hanging. This form of punishment could be used for specific criminal groups, religious groups, political activists, or social activists. Also, there are a lot of people being kept in jail for sharing their own views and ideological expressions. But they deserve to go back home and continue their lives around their own family members. It has been another important struggle to date between the United States and the Middle East. American people want their loved ones, in service to the United States, to come back home. Thereby, aside from the internal threats of direct military confrontations in the Korean Peninsula or between Iranian-Israeli troops, it shall not be unusual if the President and NATO choose to attack the opposite troops over making a direct confrontation. And as the President decides to get confronted with the enemy, whether going to a real war, or keeping on his current policies of the trade war, or making new negotiations, civilians and furthermore those people who must deal with the U.S. federal organizations would be in danger. Islam shall not be considered as a religion which supports violation. Over the last decades the majority of us, as Christian peoples, see a violated characteristic of our Muslim brothers. Even though, a variety of issues, including suicide bombing attacks, threats for the U.S. military, the issue of imprisoned governmental cooperators, and the issue of the September 11 attacks currently have affected the America’s foreign policy, but, still, a great challenge for the President is to decide on the sensitive and important political case of the Middle East that the U.S. staff would be safe from being hostages, or sentenced to death, or being sent to prison.

“The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been” — Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger.

Policymakers shall save the United States from further complications. Specifically, the September 11 attacks would be remembered as a great disaster in U.S. history, resulting in the death of 2,977 people and resulting in nearly 10,000 cancer cases. The attack caused several reforms in America’s international diplomacy. Following popularization of mass-media, communication reforms, and propagation of the Internet around the Globe, the next years of the 21st century were a bloody scene of mass encounter with suicide bombers. The events caused a great change in America’s international diplomacy. After those years, the United States’ missionary men in service to the church, more often getting threatened by terrorists. Armed conflicts are clearly observable in many African states, by radical military groups. In Africa, Christian people have been a target of terror attacks for a lot of times. Turkey, as a European Islamic nation, is located in the northern territories of the Middle East and in the East of Europe. Turkey has a variety of different churches. In contrast to Africa, Turkey’s churches are mostly secure from being attacked, since around the nation there is a more developed state of security management and control. Inside Turkey, people, whether Muslims or Christians can live together in peace. The churches’ staff and missionaries over the times of tension have tough religious responsibilities to face. While Christians are usually safe from dangerous threats in Turkey, but the United States’ embassies in Ankara and Istanbul had been under terror attacks for many times. A holy month in Islamic Calendar, called Ramadan, is a great time for Muslims to get together each evening around a table and serve Halal foods, in peace, after prayers. During the years of being in Turkey, while I was in service to President Barack Obama, strange things happened to me. I was in dark, horrifying streets late nights, near freezing temperatures, with no place to stay. Yet, today, I wait to reach the U.S. borders while I suffer from bad struggles. In Ramadan, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies delivers food, for charity, to people in some other Islamic countries. I could watch this act of charity via Twitter when I was casually visiting people in Kocatepe Mosque, in Ankara. I will always remember the protestants church in Cidem, Ankara. Father Armen was the latest missionary man that I could join in the church during religious sessions every Saturday. Iranian Christian people in a peaceful manner could visit their Muslim brothers inside the Iranian Embassy without being confronted with any threatening complaints there. Tensions are getting high! Military groups are emerging! Christians are not safe anymore! America’s greatest failure to bring the U.S. personal back home was almost at its tipping point from the beginning of the war of Afghanistan and Iraq until the present day. Those days when I met the U.S. Embassy in Turkey, David Petraeus was the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (the CIA). These failures, in bringing the people in service to the United States back home, even caused Petraeus to fill his own resignation form, and he left the position.

Conclusively, tensions in the Middle East, the latest considerations about the United States foreign policy, and a variety of threats on people during giving service to God and our nation, threats on the U.S. military personals, the issue of national gun violence, in addition to issues of economic depression, and the forthcoming challenges over the U.S. trade war, and several problems which isolated the United States and suppressing the United States foreign policy around the globe, brought tough times to the American citizens. And the United States’ foreign force is facing pain, violence, and devastation. The great challenge for the United States federal government is to choose the right decisions when needed. Since our policy makers must bring back the United States to a state of security and welfare which our liable people truly deserve.
