This can lead to information of crises to be spread for example and relief be provided, or propaganda to be spread on a global scale a feat that was near impossible before.]]> 2021-05-24 13:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kpalmer83/u60hyde5h2e9c583/wish/1553666147 https://padlet.com/kpalmer83/u60hyde5h2e9c583/wish/1553666342 I ranked this as 6 because it lead into a lot of US involvement in the Middle East and Afghanistan and other countries like that and got many of the US's allies involved. ]]> 2021-05-24 13:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kpalmer83/u60hyde5h2e9c583/wish/1553666342 https://padlet.com/kpalmer83/u60hyde5h2e9c583/wish/1553666429 Caused by prolonged conflict between Iran/Iraq and resulted in a cease fire by the United Nations.
