Compellence and Deterrence Examples B by ml94 https://padlet.com/ml94/sru3efiwx2ez A collaborative resource (with sources) for seminar B students en-us 2018-11-27 11:33:24 UTC 2018-12-04 11:04:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ml94/sru3efiwx2ez/wish/308212341 Russia does not want Ukraine to drift towards the West. Russia wants Ukraine to be a buffer state, that separates it with NATO. 

Ever since the fall of the USSR, Russia became vulnerable in its Western borders (and its naval power). Russia also lacks warm ports. The Port of Sevastopol in Crimea is the only port that doesn’t freeze all year round.

The recent incident is a reminder to Ukraine and to the West that, Russia remains in control of the area including economically. 

I argue, what’s happening in Ukraine, and how we deal with Ukraine, can be a template for North Korea. Both scenarios are almost identical. How the West will response will be identical.

It is clear that the Saudi Arabians would be called to be accountable to explaining the death of Kashoggi. Saudi Arabia has defended itself allowing Turkish to hold further investigations. Trump reacted with the message that there would be “very severe” consequences and possible economic sanctions, on Saudi Arabia as have most global states have said. As a result, the Saudi Arabians more specifically the Riyadh has responded to this that they will reject any action taken out on them any action on them threatening to "respond with greater action" in retaliation. Also they gave the threat that the country “plays an effective and vital role in the world economy”, so imposing sanctions can be damaging for their economy and for the world.
