Chapter 554: The Security Council's Vote Against It
The second more
From the bottom of his heart, there are two things that Yanayev is obsessed with: First, the United States is constantly trying to meddle in Middle East affairs and provoke regional disputes. The second www.biquge.info is the issue of Islan's global expansion. Compared with the visible harm of the former, the invisible evil of the latter is even more infinite. The extremist forces of Islam, which could have been exterminated with only effort, grew stronger and stronger with the connivance of the United States, and with the appeasement and inaction of Western European countries, there was a vague trend of development and growth.
An Arab Islamic alliance across Eurasia is slowly taking shape, while Turkey in Asia Minor has been ambitious to regain the glory of the Ottoman Empire. When the United States uprooted the heroes one after another in the Middle East, it did not realize that it was bringing greater disasters to the whole world. With the loss of a strong leader throughout the Middle East, there will be a feast of Islamic fundamentalist restoration. That time will be the beginning of the nightmare of human civilization, and no one wants to see another religious war.
At this time, the Soviet regime led by Yanayev was unexpectedly the last defensive line against the secularization of Middle Eastern countries, with Syria's Hafez al-Assad still able to maintain legitimacy under the protection of the Soviet Union, and Iraq becoming an imperial graveyard in disguise. The hatred between Sunni and Shia, and the feud between the US military and Saddam's forces, became the trigger for the entire Middle East.
This is why Yanayev resolutely opposed and resisted the expansion of Ottoman Turkey, because no one but the Soviet Union could stand up for human civilization and not continue to be infringed by the expansion of Islam. This is no longer Saladin's time, and Yanayev, who is the last to inherit the will of the Third Rome, will not take half a step back.
We once lost Constantinople, but definitely not a single Moscow again.
Therefore, among the representatives of the countries in the UN parliament, only the representative of the Soviet Union, Igor Sergeyevich Ivanov, seemed to be a little worried, as if the deputies around him did not realize how serious this was and still talked and laughed.
The United States, France and Britain have basically colluded to surprise Turkey. After all, the U.S. action in Cyprus bypassed the United Nations Security Council, and although the U.S. did not directly carry out military strikes, Britain had already provided cover for air strikes in Cyprus.
Now all the United States has to do is procrastinate, and then negotiate with Mazyel. Either you obediently get out of power and get a pro-American president, or the United States continues to weaken Turkey until you can no longer protect yourself. Of course, at this time, Turkey will be surprised to find that he has offended almost all the countries around him, and everyone is looking forward to Turkey's death, and now there is no one to stand by his side and speak for him.
At the beginning of the vote, the American delegates were caught off guard by pressing the negative vote, followed by Britain and France. Ivanov, on the other hand, voted against it only after the Chinese representative abstained.
As a result, Turkey's desire for a UN peacekeeping force to intervene in the civil war in Cyprus was completely aborted, and the final proposal did not adopt the Security Council resolution with four votes against and one abstention. This is also a well-established fact. It symbolizes that Turkey has completely become the target of mass attacks.
After the end of the vote, Ivanov did not show a look of joy like other deputies. This medium-sized, mild-mannered man appears to be a dull and conservative man from the outside. In addition, he usually does not smile, his face always seems to be tight, he is cautious in his words, and he pays great attention to his sense of proportion. No wonder someone would say that Ivanov was the most suitable representative of the USSR as a diplomat.
"Comrade Ivanov, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with the results of this vote?" Frank Wiesner, the representative of the United States, said with some sarcasm, "This is a very rare time for us to take the same position." Shouldn't we celebrate with a glass of champagne? ”
Wiesner deliberately showed Russian in front of Ivanov as a way to mock the other party's inauthentic Russian English. And he also specifically used the word comrade.
Wiesner's words did not arouse Ivanov's interest, he only turned back somewhat indifferently, and said to Wiesner in standard English pronunciation, "It seems that there is nothing to talk about between us, Mr. Wiesner, if you have time to open champagne here to celebrate, it is better to think about the United States, oh no, it should be the future of Western Europe." ”
Ivanov stretched out his hand, pointed at the representatives of other countries who were celebrating happily, and said disdainfully, "See them?" It seems that these people still don't know what stupid things they are doing, of course I am obeying the decision of the central government, but not only the United States, but the whole world is making the same mistakes. ”
"Huh?" Wiesner smiled dumbly, "Same mistake? With all due respect, Mr. Ivanov, there is only one end for any country that dares to oppose the United States. ”
Ivanov seemed accustomed to this kind of coercive tone, and he said calmly, "It's really a typical neoconservative style, no wonder American hawkish politicians say extreme statements that are either on the side of the United States or on the side of the terrorists." It turns out that the whole world must serve the interests of the United States. ”
"Of course." Wiesner said.
Since the 80s, neoconservatism has gradually taken control of American public opinion. In particular, since the Bush administration took office, it has been aggressively attacking from all sides, embodying the concept of conservative realist diplomacy put forward during the election campaign, following the norm of putting US national interests first, and pursuing unilateralist diplomacy based on strength.
The instrumental exploitation of international cooperation by political hawks based on neoconservatism soon became apparent. America's allies, especially those in Europe, found that the United States was crossing the river and tearing down bridges, or even turned against it. Especially in various international operations, the role of its allies is deliberately marginalized in the face of interests. Many senior US officials have shown on different occasions that they do not care about the EU or even disdain it. Even in response to the anti-war practices of the French and German governments, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld scolded European countries for not making a difference, causing tension in US-European relations. Since then, the United States and the European Union have had serious differences and conflicts of interest on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the Iraq issue, trade protectionist issues, environmental protectionism, and other global issues, and serious rifts have appeared in the alliance.
But political hawks such as Wiesner see such toughness and lack of visibility as essential.
Ivanov shook his head and corrected Wiesner's opinion, "Let me tell you, Mr. Wiesner. What will happen next. As an army that maintains Turkey's secularization, once it collapses at home, there will be a series of chain effects, including the absence of confrontation with Turkey's domestic religious problems. So where will Turkey develop next? Of course, it was the hard work that destroyed the secular regime that Kemal had single-handedly established, and once again became a religious state. ”
"Then there's the question of Iraq, after pulling out Saddam Hussein, a political strongman, will Iraq be controlled as it wants? Of course not, the Sunnis still dream of becoming a predominantly doctrinal extremist state, and when the time comes, you will develop a secular state that you are propping up not at all, but a regime that supports terrorism. ”
"And if you are bent on subverting the Syrian regime, will the Middle East be a paradise for Islamic fundamentalism without Assad's protection?"
Ivanov's words made Wiesner very displeased, and he said disdainfully, "Those regimes, the United States only needs one air raid to dismantle them." ”
"Disintegration?" Ivanov sneered, "Look at the current state of affairs in Europe. Those religious refugees are occupying those countries, do you know how Yugoslavia and Cyprus collapsed in the first place? Without exception, it was the refugees who believed in Islam and drove the original inhabitants from their land. ”
Finally, Ivanov looked at Wiesner, whose face changed slightly, and added, "As a word of advice, no one wants to see the rise of a pan-Islamic alliance, and when that time comes, the price paid by the United States and the Soviet Union will be even more painful." (To be continued.) )
