The general election, which President Reagan has been worried about, is now almost over, and judging from the votes in various states, there is no doubt that Reagan will be re-elected president, and Mondale's vote share is less than one-twentieth of Reagan's.
However, Reagan was not very happy because of his re-election, and now the situation in the Middle East has eroded to the point of being out of control!
Because the Middle East nuclear issue raised by the United States has developed completely towards the unexpected development of the United States, the Israeli nuclear issue has begun to gradually come to light, and a tide of opposition to Israel's nuclear program has been set off in the whole world.
The attitude of the United States towards Israel is very resolute and will not allow Israel to have nuclear weapons! However, the United States absolutely wants to protect Israel, and the United States can verify Israel and exert a lot of pressure on Israel, but other countries cannot!
The United States has even sent a deputy secretary of defense to visit the Middle East to participate in this Arab exercise, and the US fleet is also rushing to the Mediterranean Sea, thinking that everything is under their control. ≦≧
As a result, what they didn't expect at all was that in this case, the Dimona area of Israel was still attacked! Moreover, the attack was thorough!
The Dimona area of Israel taken by the United States satellite photos has been turned into a ruin, especially the key areas where Israel may carry out nuclear weapons development that the CIA analyzed in advance from Vanunu and obtained are now all in ruins, regardless of whether Israel has carried out a nuclear program or not, and after this bombing, Israel's nuclear facilities. Even if it was all destroyed, even the nuclear reactor was blown up.
Fortunately, Israel's current nuclear reactors have been shut down, otherwise it would have caused a serious radiation catastrophe.
Israel has been attacked, it's as if the United States has been slapped in the face!
President Reagan looked at the location where he worked, and he could stay here for another four years, which was for him. ≦≧ is very meaningful, he can once again be at the helm of the most powerful country in the world!
These problems, which were previously delayed because of the election campaign, must be solved!
"This time. Israel was attacked. Reagan said: "The Middle East issue is an issue that concerns our exact interests in the United States, and we will not allow Israel to possess nuclear weapons, but we will not allow it." Other countries can attack Israel with such wantonness. ”
"Yes, Iraq has developed rapidly in the past two years and has become a great power in the Middle East, and now it is not in our interests that this country has attacked Israel. If Iraq can be on the same front with us, we would welcome it very much, but for now. Not only Iraq, but also Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, which have always stood on our side, have unequivocally supported Iraq, and we cannot allow that to happen. Vice President Bush also said.
"Kathy, the specifics of this Israeli attack. ≦≧ CIA has detailed information? Reagan asked.
"We put a lot of energy into this Israeli attack. Analyzing the truth of the matter, before the attack, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet was conducting anti-submarine training in the Mediterranean, and they also took off two Tu-22M bombers and flew to a place close to the Israeli coastline for 200 kilometers. Iraq launched missiles on its own territory, striking Israel's Dimona area, and subsequently issued a statement declaring full responsibility for the incident. Casey said.
Actually, what he said, everyone else present also knows it, and now, I'm afraid the whole world knows it, but is this the truth of the matter?
"Iraq has such accurate missiles that it can strike with precision from a distance?" Weinberg said: "The Dimona area is also more than 400 kilometers away from Iraq's closest border line, and although Iraq's Scud missiles have sufficient range, are they so accurate? ”
If we say that Iraq used a Paveway laser-guided bomb imported from the United States, this would be about the same, but the surface-to-surface missiles used by Iraq were only Scuds, and the error was not ordinarily large when they flew so far. ≦≧
"Israeli intelligence says that Iraq is not using ballistic missiles, they are using land-attack cruise missiles." Casey said: "We have investigated Iraq's past operations, they used an airborne cruise missile in the air raid on Tehran, this missile, improved on the Chinese-made C801 missile, in the air strike, this missile showed a very surprising accuracy, Iran's long-range radar stations and other important targets, were destroyed by this weapon, but this missile has a very short range, even if it is airborne, it has a range of more than 100 kilometers, and this time Iraq wants to attack, the range has to be more than 400 kilometers. In the case of a detour, the range must be more than 800 kilometers. ”
High-precision cruise missiles? Weinberg was taken aback and said, "Could it be that the CIA has discovered that Iraq is armed with missiles similar to our Tomahawk cruise missiles?" ”
The Tomahawk missile was only finalized last year and equipped with the US team, and if Iraq has the same weapons now, it means that Iraq already has a certain amount of weapons research and development capabilities!
"Even if Iraq's missiles are not comparable to ours in terms of range, there is no doubt that Iraq's weapons research and development capabilities have begun to take shape, and this kind of missiles are improved from Chinese-made missiles, but we have not observed that China has the same weapons so far. ≦≧," Casey continued.
Iraq was originally only a country that introduced finished weapons, but thanks to the efforts of that Qusay boy in Iraq, Iraq is gradually gaining the ability to produce weapons and develop new weapons! Such an Iraq is even more dangerous.
"The emergence of a great power in the Middle East, especially one that does not obey us, is absolutely not in our interests." After pondering for a while, Bush said: "There is abundant oil in the Middle East, and now, if they become a military power again, if they unite together, then it will be very unfavorable to our US strategy." ”
No one will forget that when the Middle East war was in the beginning, these Arab countries used oil as a weapon, which dealt a serious blow to the US economy, and now, if they become a military power again, then the power of the United States is likely to disappear completely from the Middle East, although the United States has weakened the proportion of resources obtained from the Middle East, but the fluctuations in the Middle East will affect the global oil price, and then affect the global economy. The United States cannot tolerate too much change in the Middle East!
"Iraq's actions this time are a challenge to us, and we have connived too much with Iraq." Reagan took a puff of his cigar and said: "We use this incident as an excuse to unite with Western countries to impose sanctions on Iraq, let Iraq know that without us, he can do nothing, let Iraq obediently rely on us, and at the same time, weaken Iraq's ability to develop weapons on its own." ”
The United States' strategy toward the Middle East is a big focus of the United States, because of Iran, the United States has always supported Iraq, and now that Iran has fallen, Iraq, which the United States has helped, has become a major problem for the United States.
"The Middle East now needs a new order!" Vice President Bush also went on to say: "We need to continue to support Israel and use Israel to contain these countries in the Middle East, and at the same time, we need to continue to advance relations with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which are more friendly to us, and tie them to our chariot." As long as we no longer provide raw materials, then those projects will lose their use value, and we will let Iraq lose its way. At the same time, we can also nurture Iran's opposition forces, deprive Iraq of its stable East, and contain Iraq's strength. ”
Propping up opposition in Iran? Everyone remembered the previous government of Iran, and they still had lingering palpitations, and the United States strongly supported Iran, and as a result, Iran became anti-American. The United States wants to use Iraq to balance Iran, but as a result, Iran has fallen, Iraq has become stronger, and it has gradually moved towards the opposite side of the United States. This seems to be a bit inappropriate, how could this vice president, who has always been very wise, make such a claim?
"Today, Albert Spiegel proposed to me that we should finance Iran's armed forces, especially in the Yazd region in central Iran, where Iran still has the strength to resist, and we should supply them with weapons from the Afghan region, which is an area that the current Iranian government does not take care of." Bush said nonchalantly.
Casey was shocked, he remembered that he had received a report that there was a former government armed force of Iran in the Yazd region of central Iran, and this force was actually trained by Jews!
The Jews have already laid the game, Iraq has no strength to take away the rest of Iran after its victory over the old Iranian government, and they are slowing down, which creates an opportunity for Israel, which has secretly organized force under their absolute control.
However, this is more appropriate, because no matter what actions Israel has carried out against the United States, such as the private development of nuclear weapons this time, it will never part ways with the United States, and Israel and the United States can be the deepest alliance, and it is more in the interests of the United States to let Israel control Iran than to let Iraq control Iran.
"I agree to send weapons to Iran through Afghanistan." Reagan said.
