The United Nations, it's an amazing organization. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are times when the United Nations is powerless to respond to developments in the international situation, and even its own voice cannot dictate itself.

For example......

In such and such a country, women are almost equal to household appliances, but they are not criticized by the United Nations women's organization.

On the contrary, if you give some money to women's organizations, you can be worshiped as gods by feminist organizations.

In addition to this, the authority of the United Nations is heavily dependent on the support of Member States. Many of the resolutions it issues are often only morally forceful. Uh, for example? For example, Palestine, Palestine and Palestine......

Don't talk about it, the United Nations is going to cry out again.

On the other hand, however, the United Nations is at some point a factor that cannot be ignored.

There is often a striking feature in these times, and that is when there is a "great power alignment" strategy.

When the five permanent members agree on something, then the resolution of the United Nations is difficult to ignore on the planet.

For example, before Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the five permanent members of the United Nations reached a great power agreement. Iraq was called upon to withdraw from Kuwait and a sanctions resolution against Iraq was adopted.

When Iraq remained uncompromising in the face of unanimous resolutions from the great powers, the next step was the punishment from Uncle Sam.

The United States is not only shirtless, but also has almost half the world's national forces, forming the most extensive international coalition since the Korean War.

This is the power that can be exerted when the name of righteousness is in the hands of the five permanent members.

After occupying Iraq, the United States embarrassedly found itself having to face the "vast sea of people's war." At this time, they have two choices, one is to pat their butts and leave, and ruin other people's houses to do my shit? Anyway, my beautiful father's status is here, and you can still cross the ocean to bite me?

For the time being, the Americans did not expect that the Arab world "actually had such an operation?"

But once the US troops are withdrawn, the Arab Baath Party will be restored in Iraq in a matter of minutes, and this time I am afraid that the support rate will only be higher than in the Saddam era, and the war has also greatly awakened the national consciousness of the Iraqis.

Next, the Americans will have to say goodbye to the situation in the Middle East. Is it possible to control oil prices? does not exist, does not exist.

Another option is to have troops in Iraq. Maintain stability in Iraq by force and foster a pro-American regime there. When the regime is able to maintain its presence, the U.S. military can withdraw from Iraq.

Mr. President Bush, it is only natural that you chose the latter. Otherwise, what was the purpose of the Gulf War, which cost $300 billion and killed and wounded tens of thousands of soldiers?

Without stationing troops and completely controlling Iraq, Bush is waiting for the hat of "the worst US president in history" to be put on his head, and he will never think of taking it off for the rest of his life.

Therefore, stationing troops in Iraq has become the only option for the United States. In order to ensure domestic stability in Iraq, suppress the complex anti-American civilian armed forces in various places, and cut off the source of weapons has become a top priority.

In this matter, "persuading" the Arab League countries not to intervene in the Iraqi situation is the most important task of US diplomacy and military action.

However, in the Middle East, no matter how much the Americans, an outsider, want to monitor all Iraqis unless they invest millions of American troops.

This is of course impossible.

Therefore, they can only retreat to the next best thing and ask the Arab League countries to control their own hands.

The Americans, who have already greatly angered the Arab League, are certainly unlikely to make others bow down to their ears just by talking about the empty words. The issue must then be resolved within the framework of the United Nations.

No matter how angry the Arab League is, it will not be able to stand up to the UN resolution that has won the unanimous opinion of the major powers. With such a great cause in hand, the United States can mobilize its influence around the world. The pressure of demanding that the free world join the ranks of sanctions against Iraq is not something that the Arab League can bear.

The Americans, who took unilateral military action to invade Iraq, had to pinch their noses and return to the negotiating table at the United Nations.

However, the Gulf War, in which the United States insisted on going its own way, undoubtedly gave the United Nations and the Soviet Union a resounding slap in the face. The United Nations is a good night pot, but this is also a public night pot, not your American family!

After the United States submitted a proposal calling for the continuation of sanctions against Iraq, the Soviet Union was the first to angrily cast a decisive vote against it.

The unanimous strategy of the great powers of the Americans has not yet been implemented, and it is now possible to go bankrupt. Moreover, it was not only the Soviet Union that voted against, but even China, which has not always behaved very well, even stood up and voted against, and the United States has never suffered such a big loss in the United Nations!

However.

When the US ambassador to the United Nations was ready to give full play to his strengths, mobilize international public opinion and create tension in the surrounding areas of the two countries, so that China and the Soviet Union could have a good taste, he was suddenly stopped by the White House.

The special envoy from President Bush clearly told the UN ambassador that China and the Soviet Union should not be too irritated on this matter.

The reasons are different. China's official purchasing group is negotiating with the US industrial consortium, and at this time you are giving China eye medicine in the international community, believe it or not, those consortiums waiting for a big meal dare to tear the US Secretary of State alive?

The situation in the Soviet Union was even more special, and after entering 1991, the political situation in the Soviet Union was turbulent. The Americans carefully waited for the USSR itself to explode on the spot, and you provoke him at this time, who knows what will happen?

Therefore, the set of methods that the US State Department was good at in the past can no longer be used at this point.

However, as the saying goes, "there are no difficulties to create difficulties," the United States must pass sanctions against Iraq at the United Nations. As for how to pass it, the UN ambassador asks you to give full play to your own initiative.

I bought a watch last year!

This is the mood of US Ambassador Richardson at this time, this is really not a trivial job!

The situation on the side of the Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, Vladimir Yakunin, is actually relatively clear, and Gorbachev just feels that his face has been swept away, so he wants to find a scene in this matter.

But Gorbachev is now on his own, and the problems of the United Nations are heavily dependent on the ambassador, Mr. Yakunin.

This Mr. Vladimir Yakunin is not a good man, he is the Eight King Kongs known as Putin in the future Russia, Mr. President of Russian Railways. However, it was such a "court confidant" of Putin, and in the end Putin "resigned" him. Later, the secret of Mr. Yakunin's corruption was exposed, and the huge palace complex of 70 hectares was even more luxurious than the White House in the United States.

In other words, this Mr. Yakunin can be done by some means. The difference is only how to be clever and generous, so that he can happily say a few good words to Gorbachev. This made Gorbachev feel that the United States had succumbed to him, and that he naturally had no energy to continue to spend with the United States because of a bunch of bad things in his own country.

But on the Chinese side, it is not so easy to deal with.

The contestants, who have always abstained and voted in favor, suddenly voted against, making it difficult to figure out what the situation was.

After many attempts and contacts, Richardson was never able to guess the mind of Li Daoyu, China's ambassador to the United Nations.

The US ambassador to the United Nations, who is not so good at guessing riddles, had no choice but to choose the easiest way - face-to-face questioning.

After another failed vote, Richardson simply knocked on the door of Lee Do-yu's office and got straight to the point.

"Lee, by opposing the Iraq sanctions bill, you are creating more chaos on the ground, which is not a responsible attitude. ”

"Mr. Richardson, please be seated. Getting up from behind his desk, Lee smiled and poured a glass of water for Richardson: "China has a long history, so it can take a long-term view. We have our own views on the matter of sanctions against Iraq. A responsible attitude is not only to look at the present, but also to look at the ten, twenty, or even longer term. ”

Lee placed the water cup in front of Richardson and found a comfortable position to sit across from him.

He has been waiting for Richardson for a long time, and a series of previous temptations have been blocked, just to fight for the initiative today.

As usual, however, an exchange between diplomats always begins with a lot of nonsense.

"Although the Gulf War began with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, sanctions against Iraq were still imposed after Saddam Hussein's unequivocal acceptance of the UN resolution. This is not only detrimental to Iraq's post-war recovery, but also a very bad example for the United Nations as a mechanism. If similar incidents occur in the future, how will the United Nations deal with itself?"

……

Richardson and Lee Do-yu naturally have their own reasons, and they won't even be diplomats if they open their eyes and tell nonsense. With such a verbal argument and a back and forth, it can probably be regarded as fulfilling the "diplomatic etiquette" of both sides.

Wielding the human rights stick of maintaining stability in Iraq, Richardson claimed that if Iraq's foreign trade channels were not blocked, more tragedies would be created, without mentioning how these tragedies came about.

Lee Do-yu, on the other hand, clings to the credibility of the UN resolution and says that to maintain regional stability, the United States can talk to neighboring countries one by one. But for the sake of the implementation of this mechanism of the United Nations, it is better not to let the United Nations beat itself up, right?

Of course, the thorns in the Arab League will have to be resolved sooner or later. However, who has caused the United States to provoke public anger now, although Iraq's neighbors dare not express their position openly, they secretly do not miss the black hand.

This is not that before the war is completely over, Iranian television stations have already begun to prepare public opinion for Saddam's canonization. Khamenei openly stood up and said that Saddam should be named after "Ali".

As for Syria, it is not so obvious, but it is not so obvious that the Republican Guard has gathered many stragglers on the Syrian-Iraqi border. Sometimes the sneak attack of the US military turned around and ran into Syrian territory, and the US military could only do the same about it.

What can I do, in later Internet parlance?

It's okay for the other Arab League countries to look on coldly, and it doesn't matter if they don't have borders, they provide some funds and arms behind their backs, in short, they make the US military anxious.

The CIA, of course, took a small notebook and memorized all these accounts clearly. However, in a short period of time, if the Iraqi issue is not solved first, it is impossible for the US military to punish Uncle Sam again, right?

This becomes a question of chicken or egg, and the big hole in Iraq really makes the Americans miserable.

In the original history, Iraq was sanctioned for 10 years, and the whole country was exhausted. The Iraq war fought by the US military still threw more than 1,000 people into it -- calculated according to the statistical standard of US military casualties.

How is the standard for the US military's casualties calculated? As long as they were not killed by a single shot on the battlefield, even if they were carried on a stretcher by their comrades, they could not be counted as killed in battle. If you are alone and get shot, even if you die at the time, sorry it still can't be counted as a death because there are no eyewitnesses.

As for the statistics of the spontaneous anti-war organizations of the families of the US troops, the number of killed and missing US troops stationed in the US military in the past 10 years is likely to be less than 10,000, not counting the serious injuries. What's more, the U.S. military has also hired a large number of security companies in Iraq, and these "security guards" are even less human.

This is the price paid by the US military in history, and it is the result of 10 years of sanctions and the loss of the hearts of the Saddam people.

If Saddam Hussein was canonized this time and the national spirit of the Iraqis was awakened, it is impossible to imagine how much pressure the US military will be under.

Faced with such a situation, Richardson naturally had no confidence to have such an endless verbal battle with Li Daoyu. One more minute wasted on his side, and maybe one more American GI will die. The GIs are not worth much, but the votes of the GIs' families are very valuable. The day of the U.S. election is approaching, and the Republican Party has no hope of electing a president, so it always needs to maintain a sense of presence in Congress, right?

Richardson fumbled the fine sweat on his forehead and decided that he couldn't go on like this.

"Mr. Lee Do-yu, let's talk openly and honestly. As long as China supports sanctions against Iraq, the United States will not forget China's friendship. ”

"Oh?" Li Daoyu raised his eyebrows, and half-smiled without smiling: "The friendship of the United States......? I'm afraid I can't feel it. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly retracted all the smiles on his face, stared at his eyes, and said with a serious expression: "After all, up to now, the United States is still unreasonably framing our country's ships that are sailing normally, and they are suspected of carrying raw materials for chemical weapons!"

"As a '****' that exports chemical weapons raw materials to the outside world, how can it have any friendship with the United States, which mankind wants?"
