Chapter 379: The Key to Success or Failure in the War
In the words of many commentators, it is that the soil and environment in which terror can survive are actually provided to them by the Americans.
If there were no wars in the Middle East, no deprivation of benefits hidden under the so-called liberal democracy, and no countless Arabs who were exploited by war and barbarism, no matter how well terrorist organizations develop today, how many supporters would there be.
Many experts have pointed out that although bin Laden is a forbidden topic in the Arab world, he is actually a hero in the Arab mind, a spiritual leader of an unyielding will.
It seems that there is a sense that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, and as this view occupies the peak, more people begin to join it, and those who support this view are equivalent to supporting the fact that under US hegemony, one war after another against terrorism and justice is actually the direct murderer who prompts the crime.
Since the beginning of the Cold War, it has been in this environment that the power of terror has developed faster and faster, and even today, it has reached a peak.
The United States has paid the price of hundreds of thousands of people, and the destruction of various landmark buildings is the fruit of the United States' single-handedness. Americans deserve sympathy, but the U.S. government is not at all sympathetic.
Of course, there are still a large number of people who believe that the whole world should be more united to fight terrorist organizations and not get bogged down in war again. The viewpoint of this type of people is also very clear: You and the United States say every day that it wants to fight terrorism, especially after terrorist attacks, and that it wants to unite the whole world to completely eliminate the terrorist force. However, the United States' approach has once again chilled the whole world, and the big chess piece of anti-terrorism has been pulled. But the war in Somalia was launched, which made the whole world think about how to carry out the anti-terrorism.
Wave the flag and shout. As a result, the people disappeared, and those who followed the flag eventually found out. It turned out that the person who was waving the flag took out his weapon and put it on the neck of another person, and put his other hand into the man's pocket.
The United States is playing this role now, after the new Somali regime exterminated the Somali Youth Army, which has been greatly recognized by anti-terrorist groups throughout the world, and has given high praise to Somalia's anti-terrorism enthusiasm, and some people even want to nominate Li Lan for the Nobel Peace Prize.
As a result, the whole world is very conflicted. The United States sent troops, France and Italy followed, and Japan hung behind at the end. This has made the truth of the supremacy of interests a new level of verification.
For this reason, many people also said that it is too irrational for the United States to send troops to Somalia, and it is very likely that bin Laden will have more opportunities. The result is bound to be tragic. To sum it up in the words of these people, that is to take care of the head.
There are hundreds of people of all kinds, and there is no shortage of compassionate people in this world.
In the atmosphere of terror and war, there is never a shortage of their presence. In their words. The journey of life is never easy, lack of resources, poverty and backwardness, exploitation, ecological disasters, environmental pollution, political persecution...... Natural and man-made disasters and all kinds of tragedies continue to happen around us. People who have suffered from it can't help but ask. Why is humanity so eager to bring about its own destruction? Does humanity have a future? Endless pursuit of fame and fortune traps the body and mind of human beings, and human beings turn a blind eye to these human tragedies. Or is it because you are willing to be led astray by visionless thoughts?
The tragedies in New York and Washington have sparked a global debate about terrorism, national security, human life and economic losses. Everyone focused on revenge, war, causes and consequences, and so on. But should we also examine what other crises are threatening global well-being? Should action be taken to end the crisis? In addition to resolving political and religious conflicts, we should also address the social, economic and ecological crises that the world seems to be ignoring.
We should pay tribute to those who work for equality. There is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, a disparity in health, a disparity in choice, and a disparity in opportunity...... The disparities are getting wider. According to United Nations figures, in 1960 the world's richest two adults were 30 times richer than the poorest two, and by 1997 the ratio had risen to 74 times. The world's richest people, such as Gates and Walmart's major shareholders, have more wealth than the 600 million people in the most backward countries together earn more each year. Right now, there are a billion people in the world who want to work but can't get it; In the next 20 years, the global working population will increase by 2 billion, but society will not have jobs for them.
In the world's poorest regions, one in five children lives before the age of five, mostly from environment-related diseases. Nearly 4 million children die each year from acute respiratory infections caused by air pollution...... Rainforests have been cut down, and 20% of freshwater life has become extinct or extinct in the intervening decades. The global precarious situation is rooted in overconsumption, overexploitation and unsustainable development......
……
In response to this video, the United States also quickly gave an answer.
"The United States has always spared no effort in the fight against terrorist organizations, and regardless of the authenticity of this video, even if it is true, the US government is determined to protect the safety of people's lives and property from now on. ……
At the same time, we also hope that we will not deliberately spread unsubstantiated remarks, and do not easily believe unsubstantiated news to avoid being deceived......
If you encounter a suspicious person or a suspicious conversation, please notify the police immediately, do not act without authorization, and do not be cowardly, the state and the law will stand by your side, and do not compromise with the forces of terror, let alone defend the ...... of people with terrorist tendencies."
The promises made like boiled water, so that the worries that began to emerge in the country have not been well alleviated. Whether bin Laden is real or not, the existence of this person is a serious threat to the security of American citizens. The U.S. government has repeatedly said that bin Laden in the video is fake, but this is not a concern for ordinary Americans. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the damage caused by this person is countless times worse than that of 911 at the beginning, even if he takes advantage of bin Laden's gimmick.
In the words of the American people, whether this is bin Laden or Labenden, and no matter what kind of cat or dog he is, we must resolutely crack down. This is not the time to discuss the truth or falsehood, but to consider how to prevent another terrorist attack. And not to put your fist in Somalia, an unrelated country.
The idea of the American people is simple, just to have a safe living environment, to keep crises and panic away from their peaceful lives. But this is really difficult for the US government to accomplish. The United States has kidnapped the global economy, relying on the support of its hegemonic position in the world, and it is not reasonable to rely on its fists to speak. Once the United States loses this posture of military hegemony, the lost benefits will be incomparably huge, and at that time, countless people in the United States will lose their jobs, and no one in the world will buy dollars without security, and in the end, the United States will face a situation of national collapse. Unless another world war is brought to reshuffle the world, the United States will face a very slow economic transformation.
This is the most embarrassing part of the US government now, don't look at the US military began to reduce military spending, but that is only to reduce those old equipment, in the emerging high-tech research and development, in order to ensure a sustained military leading position, the United States has never been reduced, but is increasing investment every year.
Whether Somalia should be fought or not, for the US government, of course, should be fought, or must be fought. In several wars after the Cold War, the United States wanted to peg the dollar to oil, which can be called oil wars. Now in this war, the United States is playing national fortunes. Won the war, the world is still in control of the strategic aspect of the world, or is the United States in control, and the war is lost? But will the United States lose?
As for bin Laden on the video, the United States naturally has to deal with it, but now it doesn't even know where bin Laden is, what kind of organization it is, and where to start is also a blank. In this terrorist attack, the enemy was too deeply hidden, and the United States did not know in advance that there was such a secret organization in this world. Who are the real leaders? Where are the main areas of activity? Although the U.S. intelligence services have long been spread all over the world, they have not been able to find a suitable place to strike.
From the point of view of the United States, it is really hoped that bin Laden will make another move, and the United States is waiting to see if it can find a breakthrough point. Therefore, in terms of reaction, the United States is naturally much more flat. However, the United States is also taking risks, because if it does not know the source and location of a terrorist attack in time, the results can be tragic.
As for the anti-war sentiment in China, which is not very high at present, it is naturally guided by the media.
At the same time, in addition to the United States, the international response has also been very enthusiastic, but many countries have one thing in common, which is to doubt the determination of the United States to fight terrorism.
As the initiator of all this, Li Lan looked at Erlang's legs, stayed in the console, and looked at the very photogenic bin Laden.
It is undeniable that bin Laden's role in Li Lan is very enormous. In particular, it has played a great role in promoting the impact on the international prestige of the United States. In the future, as long as bin Laden lives for one day, the United States will feel like a man.
If we talk about immediate benefits, bin Laden's role will determine the fate of this war.
On the ocean, because Li Lan released two aircraft carriers, he also formed a battle group to enter the Indian Ocean. This also deeply disturbed the powerful fleet of the coalition forces, and they could only start to destroy this fleet first. The fleet in the Mediterranean, on the other hand, has limited support for the war because of its range, and carrier-based aircraft will not be dispatched too frequently.
At present, the strength of the Red Guard Corps is enough to maintain a certain balance with the coalition forces, and the most critical point in this war is the result of the confrontation between the naval forces in the Indian Ocean.
If the navy is not victorious, it will die, and for Li Lan, there is no second way.
Osama bin Laden was a very important bargaining chip for Li Lan to increase his victory in this naval battle. (To be continued......)
