Chapter 269 The United Nations General Assembly
"On the issue of maintaining world peace, our Soviet government's position is consistent and clear. We call on all parties to the conflict to remain calm and restrain, and resolve their respective disputes through negotiation rather than force, and prevent certain countries from undermining world peace in the pretext of maintaining world peace, but actually undermining world peace..."
The United Nations Special Session to resolve the Kuwait issue was officially held, and the United States submitted a plan to send multinational forces to the UN Security Council to impose economic sanctions on Iraq. NATO's allies, coupled with the Arab League of Nations headed by Saudi Arabia, responded. Iraq was in diplomatic isolation, but all this was of no use. As long as the Soviet Union, as the five permanent members, did not nod, this plan would not be legitimate.
Before the meeting began, the US representatives wanted to communicate with the Soviet Union in advance, but Seriosha refused without hesitation. Instead, he communicated with the Iraqi government and the Kuwait government before the meeting. For Kuwait, it was already thankful that they could get mediation from the Soviet Union and regain independence. Now they no longer dare to raise the issue of Iraq's debt. Iraq now knows how much international pressure it will face in its reckless actions. Naturally, they dare not continue to seek the occupation of Kuwait's territory. Now they only demand that they can escape without decently.
In the whole incident, Saudi Arabia played an extremely disgraceful role. On the one hand, Saudi Arabia hoped that Iraq would defend Iran's revolutionary output and ensure Saudi Arabia's security. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia was afraid that Iraq would be too strong and threaten Saudi Arabia's hegemony in the Middle East. Therefore, on the issue of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia has always urgently hoped that the United States could launch a forceful strike against Iraq. This is in Saudi Arabia's interests. So when Seriosha proposed the proposal for peace negotiations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia obstructed it in every possible way. This behavior completely made Kuwait feel cold.
The intimate relationship between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait has already ripped apart, and the Soviet Union's actions have helped Kuwait a lot, which has made Kuwait's Emir grateful to the Soviet Union. At least now, in the heart of Kuwait's Emir, the Soviet Union is the only major power that treats Kuwait sincerely.
With the end of the speech of the Chinese representative, all parties participating in the meeting had expressed their opinions. The voting process began soon. Many countries led by the United States and Saudi Arabia voted for favors, China abstained, and the Soviet government voted against them. Now, we don’t have to continue voting and know that this plan cannot be passed.
"Representative of the Soviet Union, what do you mean? Are you supporting Iraq's aggression?" The United States said in a furious manner. Just last night, Gorbachev personally called President Bush, saying that the Soviet Union opposed any form of aggression, which made Bush very happy that the Soviet Union would hand over Iraq and let the United States deal with it.
"We oppose any kind of aggression, including multiple countries' interference in the dispute between Iraq and Kuwait. We hope that Iraq and Kuwait can achieve peace at the negotiating table without being disturbed by outsiders, rather than launching another war of aggression under the name of opposing aggression!" Seriosha replied bluntly.
"The Kuwait issue is a problem between our Arab countries. The United States is an ally we invited. On the contrary, you are the Soviet Union, and you are unpopular. If you want to interfere in the affairs of Arab countries, dream!" The Saudi representative angrily refuted Selyosha's remarks and exonerated the United States.
"They are the countries that put their hands into Kuwait! The Kuwait government has issued a statement asking international risk consulting companies to withdraw from Kuwait immediately and stop armed operations. Why does international risk consulting companies not comply with the requirements of the Kuwait government? It's not the trick that you and Saudi Arabia are doing behind it. These people have placed car bombs everywhere in Kuwait, called attacking Iraqi armed forces. In fact, we have all seen a school collapsed and dozens of children were buried in the ruins. Instead, Iraq took the initiative to rescue. Let's talk about this international risk consulting company! I have heard of this company. About one-third of them are Americans who have taken off their military uniforms, and the remaining two-thirds are immigrants from various countries who want to obtain permanent residence in the United States. You tell me that the United States is here to maintain peace in the Gulf region. Are you telling jokes?"
Seriosha always sat in his seat and calmly responded to attacks from various countries. Now the Soviet Union is weak in the United Nations, and his past allies abandoned the Soviet Union one after another. The Soviet Union's diplomatic status is no longer the same. Today, the Soviet Union's maintenance of Iraq is already a great kindness. Otherwise, Iraq will be torn to pieces by the countries present. It is precisely because of this situation that Iraq has almost been isolated by Arab countries and the international community, and the Soviet Union is already his only reliance.
The entire venue was quarreling, and Seriosha was bluntly fighting with the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and other countries. He was not at all inferior. No matter how the United States threatened, the Soviet Union opposed the United States' plan to send troops.
"Did you see the protesting crowd outside? This is the real call of the American people. I don't know why the government, which regards democracy, sings an opposition to the United Nations and the Americans outside! Although our Soviet Union's position on opposing armed interference in the Kuwait issue has been attacked by everyone here, there are thousands of people standing with us outside the court, including the American people! Our persistence is for all peace-loving people in the world, and for the highest ideal of human peace. What's ridiculous is that the proposal of the US representative does not even support the people of its own country, and he dares to claim that he is for the whole world? Absurd! Shameless! What is the difference between those mercenaries who are still here in Kuwait and the US military..."
The attention of this United Nations conference was too high. Every word Seriosha said was captured by the camera and appeared in real time on major news media around the world! The US representatives wanted to refute Seriosha's speech, but the protesters gathered outside the United Nations. The representatives of various countries who came to attend the conference could see clearly when they entered the venue and could not lose it at all. No matter how clever he was, he could not be convincing.
A sparse applause suddenly sounded in the venue. Seriosha looked back and found that it was the representative of Cuba and some Latin American countries, followed by Iraq and Syria and other allies who did not betray the Soviet Union. Although there was not much applause, it was better than none. The chauvinism, a great power of the Soviet Union in the past, was too arrogant. Now it is in a lonely situation in the United Nations. But it doesn’t matter. As long as you slowly control Eastern Europe, this situation will change.
