Chapter 269 United Nations General Assembly
"On the issue of maintaining world peace, our Soviet government's position is consistent and clear. We call on all parties to the conflict to remain calm, exercise restraint, and resolve their respective disputes through negotiation rather than force, and prevent certain countries from using the excuse of maintaining world peace. peace, but acts that undermine the peace of the world..."
The United Nations special meeting to resolve the Kuwait issue was officially held, and the United States submitted to the United Nations Security Council a plan to send multinational forces to attack Iraq and impose economic sanctions on Iraq. NATO allies, plus the Saudi-led Arab League, responded. Iraq was plunged into diplomatic isolation, but it was of no avail. As long as the Soviet Union, which is a permanent member of the five major councils, does not nod, this plan will not have legitimacy.
Before the start of the meeting, the representatives of the United States wanted to communicate with the Soviet Union in advance, but Sergesha unceremoniously refused. Instead, he communicated with representatives of the Iraqi government and the Kuwaiti government before the meeting. For Kuwait, it is thankful that it was able to obtain the mediation of the Soviet Union and regain its independence. Now they dare not bring up the Iraqi debt issue anymore. And the Iraqi side now knows how much international pressure it will face for its reckless actions. Naturally, they don't dare to continue to ask for the occupation of Kuwait's territory. Now they only ask for a decent retreat.
In the whole incident, the Saudi side played a very disgraceful role. On the one hand, Saudi Arabia hoped that Iraq would defend Iran’s revolutionary output and ensure the safety of Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia was afraid that Iraq would be too powerful, threatening Saudi Arabia’s dominance in the Middle East. . Therefore, on the Kuwait issue, Saudi Arabia has been eagerly hoping that the United States can carry out military strikes against Iraq. This is in Saudi Arabia's interest. So when Seryozha put forward a proposal for peace talks in Riyadh, the Saudi side obstructed it in every possible way. This behavior completely chilled Kuwait.
The close relationship between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait has cracked, and the Soviet Union's move has helped Kuwait a lot, which makes the Emir of Kuwait grateful to the Soviet Union. At least for now, in the heart of the Emir of Kuwait, the Soviet Union is the only big country that treats Kuwait sincerely.
With the end of the Chinese representative's speech, all parties involved in this meeting have expressed their opinions. Voting will begin shortly. Many countries led by the United States and Saudi Arabia voted in favor, China abstained, and the Soviet government voted against. Now, you don't need to continue to vote to know that this plan cannot be passed.
"Representatives of the Soviet Union, what do you mean? Are you supporting Iraq's aggression?" Aggressive behavior, which made Bush very happy to think that the Soviet Union would hand over Iraq and let the United States deal with it.
"We oppose any form of aggression, including multinational interference in the dispute between Iraq and Kuwait. We hope that Iraq and Kuwait can achieve peace at the negotiating table without external interference. Not in the name of opposing aggression Launch another war of aggression!" Seryozha replied bluntly.
"The Kuwait issue is a problem between our Arab countries. The United States is the ally we invited. On the contrary, you, the Soviet Union, are the unwelcome people. You want to meddle in the internal affairs of the Arab countries. Just dream!" The representative of Saudi Arabia retorted angrily. Following Sergey's remarks, and excused the United States.
"It's you countries that put their hands into Kuwait! The Kuwaiti government has issued a statement demanding that the international risk consulting company immediately withdraw from Kuwait and stop an armed operation. Why didn't the international risk consulting company comply with the Kuwaiti government's request? Not yet The United States and Saudi Arabia are behind the scenes,
These people planted car bombs all over Kuwait in the name of attacking the Iraqi armed forces. In fact, we have all seen that a school was blown down and dozens of children were buried in the rubble. Instead, the Iraqi side came to the rescue. Let's talk about this international risk consulting company! I have also heard about this company. About one-third of their members are Americans who have taken off their military uniforms, and the remaining two-thirds are immigrants from various countries who want to obtain permanent residency in the United States. You told me that the United States is here to maintain peace in the Gulf region, are you telling me a joke? "
Seryozha always sat in his seat and calmly responded to the attacks from various countries. Now the Soviet Union is weak in the United Nations, and allies in the past have abandoned the Soviet Union. The diplomatic status of the Soviet Union has long been lost. Today, the Soviet Union is here to protect Iraq, which is already a great kindness. Otherwise, Iraq will be torn apart by all the countries present here. It is precisely because of this situation that Iraq has almost been isolated by Arab countries and the international community, and the Soviet Union is already his only reliance.
The entire venue was full of quarrels, and Sergei was unceremoniously arguing with the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and other countries. Not at all. No matter how threatened by the United States, the Soviet Union opposed the US military plan.
"Have you seen the protesting crowd outside? This is the real voice of the American people. I don't know why the government that claims to be a democracy is singing against the United Nations and the Americans outside! Although our Soviet Union's position against armed intervention in Kuwait has been met by everyone present Everyone’s attack, but there are tens of thousands of people standing with us on the sidelines, including the American people! Our persistence is for all peace-loving people in the world, and for the highest ideal of human peace. It’s ridiculous that the representative of the United States What is the difference between those mercenaries who are still in Kuwait and refuse to retreat, and the U.S. military..."
The attention of this United Nations meeting is too high. Every sentence Sergesha said was recorded by the camera and appeared in real time on major news media around the world! The U.S. representative wanted to refute Seryozha's speech, but the crowd of protesters gathered outside the United Nations, and the representatives from various countries who came to the meeting could see it clearly when they entered the venue, and they couldn't be blamed at all. No matter how eloquent he is now, it is impossible to be convincing.
Suddenly there was a burst of sparse applause at the venue. Looking back, Sergey saw that it was the representatives of Cuba and some Latin American countries, followed by Iraq, Syria and other allies who had not betrayed the Soviet Union. Although the applause was not much, it was better than nothing. powerful. The chauvinism of the great power in the Soviet Union in the past was too arrogant, and now it is in a lonely situation in the United Nations. But it doesn't matter, as long as you slowly control Eastern Europe, this situation will change.
