Baghdad clearly sensed that Kuwait and the UAE were overproducing on their quotas, and that Kuwait was reiterating Iraq's wartime debt, either in collusion with the United States or taking advantage of Iraq's predicament, knowing that Warsonton would not object.

When Ronald Reagan took office in 1980, the country's economy was in dire shape.

Inflation was cutting into the economy, and Reagan's policy of cutting taxes to stimulate production and investment failed to save it.

Really, as we pointed out, as long as this president is still engaged in his great army building, they can't do that.

As a result, under the leadership of Reagan, the country's huge fiscal deficit has risen all the way.

Now, Bush has inherited this sluggish economy.

Moreover, just before the outbreak of the first Gulf War, the country was entering a period of economic recession.

Therefore, it can be said that the sluggish oil market (the result of which is to keep oil prices low) is suitable for the country, and it is precisely said that it is conducive to the economic recovery of the country.

Warsonton's position is the opposite of Iraq's, and, as in other things, it is inevitable that Warsonton will choose a position that is in his favor, which further complicates progress in Iraq's recovery.

The crux of the matter, however, is the need for immediate debt relief for Iraq.

The debt is so heavy and the interest is rising so fast that unless the debt is paid off quickly, Baghdad will have to give in and it will never be able to turn over.

So when Bush tried to calm Iraq with soothing words, persuading them to wait, and that things would work out, he was joking with himself — but he wasn't joking with Saddam.

Saddam Hussein gave an ultimatum: Warsonton told Kuwait and the UAE to stop overproduction (and for Kuwait to reduce its debts) or Iraq would take unspecified action.

Bush said that Iraq's leaders were defrauding, and that they only opposed it and did not act.

So when Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait and completely occupied it in less than 48 hours, the United States was once again shocked.

When Iraq invaded Kuwait, Britain would obviously be unhappy.

Kuwait was a British customer, and Kuwait kept its money in British banks, where it ran shilling business.

It also imports weapons from the United Kingdom, which is the custodian of the Kuwait Oil Company's bets.

As soon as Iraq's invasion of Kuwait took place, Britain's Thatcher immediately urged the United States to join the war.

In fact, the British are trying to get the rice people to save their bacon.

As the protector of Kuwait, London should do something to resist the aggression.

Because it doesn't have the strength, it instigates the United States to do this work.

Israel felt even a stronger crisis than Britain, not because of aggression but because of the consequences of the Iran-Iraq war.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Israel's inability to stand up militarily against Iraq.

Israel is concerned about a broader armed realignment in the Middle East.

Iraq's emergence, as a victorious side, heralded a revival of Arab nationalism, a powerful movement that Nasser had been a powerful movement during his lifetime, but which went downhill as soon as he died.

Saddam Hussein was an Arab nationalist, or at least he had been interested in this lately.

He traveled extensively to speak in support of the Palestinian national cause. He declared his intention to create an Arab trade bloc with Jordan, Yemen, and Egypt, as well as the goal of creating an Arab military-industrial complex with Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Perhaps the most troubling of all these events is Saddam's attempt to use Arab oil weapons.

Saddam's determination to punish Kuwait and the UAE for quota fraud is enough to hint at this.

Kuwait colluded with the United Arab Emirates and the United States to lower oil prices, so Saddam's determination to put an end to this matter is a direct provocation of the blatant interests and hegemony of the United States.

Had he succeeded in this undertaking he had undertaken, he would most likely have turned the Arab world into an international armed force.

A powerful Arab State, militarily strong and strategically located in the Gulf region could easily make it influential in the world oil market.

War is not something Israel opposes, and once they and their allies feel that incitement can provoke war, it would be unreasonable if they didn't try again.

The rest of the story goes without saying, everything comes so smoothly.

On August 1, 1990, President Busch issued a warning and condemned Iraq's actions as "naked aggression" and "posed a real threat" to the national interests of the United States, and announced the freezing of all Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets in the United States.

The United States' response was swift and the warnings were severe, but this did not stop Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

On August 2, 1990, Iraq suddenly invaded Kuwait, and the United States suddenly fell into a crisis, and the White House not only had to consider how to restore Kuwait's independence, but also to prevent Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia.

If Iraq can occupy Saudi Arabia and control half of the world's oil resources, it will be the biggest challenge to the national interests and ******** of the United States.

On 4 August, US President George H.W. Bush urgently convened a supreme meeting of the National Security Council, and Lieutenant General Schwarzkopf, who had rushed from the Central Command, and Lieutenant General Charles Horner, commander of the Central Theater Air Force, gave "reassurance" as soon as they appeared on the stage -- the preliminary operational plan they submitted was extremely complete, which made Bush Sr. admire.

For the United States, this war is more of a game than a war.

When the Washington administration recovered from the shock of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, it was deliberately trying to deal a fatal blow to Saddam Hussein, if not to remove him from power. Because Iraq's invasion violated the ban of the United States.

For the United States, the most time-consuming and labor-intensive thing is the preparation for war: the United States needs to transport more than 300,000 troops and a huge number of war equipment to the combat zone; At the same time, in order to win over other countries to join the war against Saddam, a certain amount of diplomatic activity is necessary.

Han's attitude is undoubtedly positive, and not long after the voice of the United States, the foreign minister of the Han Kingdom has already spoken on the phone with the Secretary of State of the United States, Baker: "The Han State is the ally of the United States, and the position of the Han Kingdom stands on the side of the United States and resolutely supports the actions of the United States. ”

On this point alone, Han is ahead of other countries.

As for Han's attitude, Hua Songton was very satisfied.

"In order to punish Saddam, Warsonton is about to form a coalition army, is it possible for Han to join the coalition operation?"

This is Hua Songton's straightforward invitation to the Han State to join the coalition army, Song Weibao did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Since the Han State supports the actions of the United States, it cannot just stay in words, but also maintain consistency in action, and the Han States are willing to join the coalition operations." ”

Hua Songton expressed his gratitude to Han for being able to vigorously support the actions of the United States. Since the Han State is willing to send troops, has the Han State made a decision on the specific scale of the troops? ”

"Mr. Baker, you know the situation in the Han Kingdom, the key is that there are few people. Han intends to send two destroyers to participate in the coalition operation, what do you think? ”

In fact, the United States will not care how many troops the Han State can produce, the key is to play an exemplary role.

"In this way, doesn't Han still have an air force, can we participate in the coalition operation together?"

"Hehe, Mr. Lawrence, Han has no aircraft carriers, and even a few planes can't fly to the Middle East. If you have to participate, you can only send pilots to fly the fighter plane in the meter gauge to participate in the operation. ”

"Hehe, yes, let's do this for the time being, let's talk about the specific situation. The Warsonton government cherishes its friendship with the Han State very much, and also supports the Han State in fighting against the evil country and safeguarding the interests of the Han State from being harmed. ”

In this way, Han's participation in the coalition operation has been determined, and all that remains is to wait.
