Chapter 612: The United States, the America of the Americans
readx;
After learning that Jordan had discovered that the groundwater was contaminated with radioactivity, the US top brass was immediately moved, and now they are facing too many problems, and the cause of their own reconnaissance plane has not yet been ascertained, and there is another big problem on the Israeli side, and Israel has really conducted a nuclear test.
"If the groundwater in Jordan is contaminated, there is no doubt that it must be this earthquake in Israel, an underground nuclear test, that contaminated the groundwater. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ≦≧"We were claiming that Iraq had conducted an underground nuclear test, but in fact it was Israel that conducted an underground nuclear test," Weinberg said. ”
Israel! President Reagan knew that the United States and Israel had always had a good relationship, good enough to wear a pair of pants! The United States spares no effort to support Israel, the United States is equipped with the latest aircraft, F-15, F-16, the first country to export to the outside world is Israel, E-2 early warning aircraft, all kinds of missiles, etc., everything Israel needs, the United States will provide, Israel is a loyal ally of the United States.
The Jewish nation, although it does not account for a large proportion of the American population, is the elite of the Americans, and the Jews are a very united nation, and they are very supportive of Israel, so every president who participates in the election will meet with the chairman of AIPAC (American-Israeli Public Affairs Management Council) to explain his position on the Middle East, which is very helpful for his own campaign. ≦≧ (In later generations, 50 percent of Clinton's campaign money came from Jews.)
Moreover, every president has a special adviser on Jewish affairs by his side.
Just two months ago, Reagan was in the planning of the campaign. He launched his own Middle East peace plan in the hope of gaining more support, and as a result, his special adviser on Jewish affairs, Albert Spiegel, resigned because he "deliberately pursued his Middle East peace plan despite the opposition of American Jews." Subsequently, opinion polls showed that he would lose half of the Jewish vote in the last election. To ensure re-election, Reagan met with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Shamir. A substantial increase in aid to Israel was announced, and it was decided to classify all aid to Israel as a gratuitous gift. In this way, the Jews were successfully received.
Now, Israel's issue is testing Reagan's time. ≦≧
Reagan's Middle East strategy would have had a direct impact on those Jewish voters, but he supported Israel. It will also provoke resentment among ordinary people and the international community..."The key question now is to see how Israel responds. Bush said: "If Israel admits that it conducted a nuclear test this time, then any of our problems will not be a problem, but if Israel does not admit it, we will go with the flow and give Israel some support at the appropriate time." ”
What Bush meant was that the United States was in this incident. will withdraw from the position of the protagonist, all this is made by Israel, sanctions or something, the United States will not say anything, first see how Israel responds, all these things will always pass. As long as you survive the general election, you will come up with a definite plan.
At the same time, the Israeli ambassador to the United States was urgently summoned to hear the news from Israel. To express our position, we absolutely do not want to see a nuclear war in the Middle East, and we hope that Israel can stop their nuclear weapons program, and we in the United States are behind them, but they absolutely cannot possess such weapons. ≦≧”
Although there are many Jewish interests involved in the election, however. After all, the United States is the United States, and the United States will not change its position because of a group of Jews. There are also the interests of the United States itself, what the United States hopes is the stability of the Middle East, the stability of the world crude oil market, and the gradual transformation of the Middle East, not as it is now, if Israel has nuclear weapons, it will also affect the situation in the Middle East, which is not in the interests of the United States, the United States has nuclear weapons, it is enough to ensure that Israel will not be threatened by nuclear weapons, but if Israel has nuclear weapons, it will break the balance in the Middle East, it will provoke other countries in the Middle East to secretly develop nuclear weapons, for example, Iraq would have a legitimate excuse to accuse Israel of such behaviour in the international community, while at the same time providing a pretext for its own development of nuclear weapons. Even if Iraq does not have nuclear weapons, this incident will spur Iraq to spare no effort to develop nuclear weapons.
Hearing this, President Reagan's eyes lit up, and he said calmly: "Yes, the United States, the United States that has always been Americans, not the United States of a nation, what we need to consider is the vital interests of the United States itself." ≦≧ hope that our American Jew will know whether he is an American first and foremost, or a Jew! ”
The president of the United States has always attached great importance to relations with Israel, but when it comes to the real interests of the United States, the United States must first consider its own interests, even during the election campaign!
(At some times, the attitude of the United States is still relatively tough, for example, Israel's self-developed Cub fighter ended without a problem under US pressure, and Israel's contract to export Fercon's early warning aircraft was also abandoned under US pressure.) This time, Israel has done such a big thing, the United States should show a strong attitude, if because of the election, it needs the support of the Jews, then, even if this president succeeds, there will be a sense of indebtedness, this president, the president of the Americans, not the Jews!
Although in the future, the United States will continue to support Israel, but Israel must also be restrained and not challenge the bottom line of the United States!
Reagan, despite the campaign funds provided by the Jews in his hands and hoping to get the votes of the Jews, made such a firm choice, and as the president of the most powerful country, he would never make such a principled mistake!
Just when both the United States and Israel were considering how to respond to this crisis, a new blow came again. ≦≧
On 1 June 1984, the United Nations convened an emergency seventh emergency meeting of its thirty-ninth session to discuss the issue of verification of Israel's underground nuclear tests, as raised by the representative of Jordan.
Just five days ago, a team sent by the International Atomic Energy Agency rushed to the Tafila area of Jordan, and through investigation, yesterday made a final determination that this area of Jordan was indeed radioactively contaminated, and the groundwater was no longer drinkable, and they believed through investigation that the source of the pollution was in Israel.
Subsequently, Jordan issued an official statement that Israel had conducted an underground nuclear test on its own territory, which had polluted Jordan's underground water sources, which was a very serious incident that made it impossible for the inhabitants of the area to live normally, and Israel needed to answer the matter and compensate Jordan for the damages.
However, Israel's attitude is very tough, claiming that this matter has nothing to do with Israel, and Israel does not give any explanation and does not make any compensation.
At a subsequent press conference held in Jordan, the matter was thrown in front of the world, and some reporters were invited to go to the scene to observe and confirm that their groundwater source was indeed polluted.
Suddenly, the whole world was boiling, and in the face of the absolute truth, Israel was still denying!
At the suggestion of Jordan and other Arab countries, this emergency meeting of the United Nations was reconvened.
"In the entire international community, a consensus has been reached that except for the five permanent members of the United Nations, the rest of the countries cannot develop nuclear weapons, and we, the Arab countries, have strictly abided by this decision and maintained the denuclearization of the Middle East, which is a weapon that destroys the world! However, under these circumstances, Israel is still secretly developing nuclear weapons and conducting underground nuclear tests, which has seriously disturbed the tranquility of the entire Middle East region and has become a destabilizing factor in the Middle East region. The representative of the Jordanian State made a statement at the outset: "We propose that Israel be called upon to disclose its nuclear programme, in particular the Dimora nuclear reactor, which is a key area for the production of its nuclear weapons, to open its nuclear facilities to the International Atomic Energy Agency, to accede to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as soon as possible, to guarantee the entry of United Nations verification experts, to undertake not to produce and use nuclear weapons, and that Israel bear full responsibility for the contamination of our groundwater sources this time, They need to compensate our Tafila region for the $50 billion in damage. ”
After listening to the statement made by the representative of Jordan, Mr. Paul Lusaka, the President of the General Assembly, knows that this is a very difficult matter, and that the United Nations, which was established to maintain world peace, must make some achievements in handling international affairs, but the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly is okay to deal with those small countries that are not disputed, and any decision taken in handling such affairs is ineffective.
The United Nations has always been in an awkward position.
Looking at the impassioned representative of Jordan at the end of his speech, there was a round of applause below. Then, the representative of Iraq also began to speak, condemning Israel's construction of nuclear weapons, which will cause unquiet in the Middle East and trigger new disputes, and at the same time, expressing great anger at Israel's despicable act of leaking out the waters, Israel is simply a cancer on the land of the Middle East!
The representative of Israel could not sit still and began to refute, but his rebuttal did not have any strength, and the representatives next to him were looking at him with suspicion, he secretly developed nuclear weapons, and he was so reasonable! Do you still not follow the rules of the game?
