[Eighteen. The tyranny of the United States, weapons of mass destruction "washing powder". ]

[February 5, 2003, at the United Nations Security Council. ]

[The United States took out a small bottle of white powder from its briefcase and declared to the delegates that it was evidence that Iraq was conducting large-scale biological and chemical weapons experiments. ]

[He asked the United Nations to authorize the United States to send troops into Iraq to conduct searches. ].

[This move by the United States is really a bit unrefined. ]

[Not to mention that the items related to weapons of mass destruction were casually packed in a briefcase and passed the security check. ]

[Just say that he took out such a dangerous thing in front of representatives of various countries. ]

[What if there is a leak? ]

[Isn't this a joke with the lives of all the representatives? 】

【The representatives of various countries stationed at the United Nations also felt that their intelligence was insulted. 】

【The French representative first said that France would not vote in favor because the evidence was full of loopholes and was not enough to justify sending troops to Iraq. 】

【Most countries in the world also clearly expressed their opposition. 】

【Among the five permanent members, only Britain voted in favor. 】

【Although the United States failed miserably in gaining the support of the United Nations, this did not affect the US president's determination to go to war with Iraq. 】

【On March 20, the United States bypassed the UN Security Council and unilaterally launched a military strike against Iraq. 】

12【This is the Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War. 】

"It's the United States again, doing a lot of evil."

"Haha, laundry detergent? You can tell what it's for by the name. Can it be used as a weapon?"

"It's just an excuse to send troops."

"......"

The ancients showed disdain.

They also gradually understood the habit of the United States to bully the weak.

[Then why did the United States, which supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War 20 years ago, want to get rid of SA-Dam at this time? 】

[The origin of the United States and Iraq can be traced back to the Iran-Iraq War. 】

[The friendship between the United States and Iraq also began with this war. 】

【In 1979, in Iraq's neighboring country Iraq, he successfully led the Islamic Revolution, overthrew the pro-American regime, and establishedEstablished a republic with a combination of politics and religion. 】

【At that time, Iran was led by a Shia Muslim, while Iraq's President Sadam was a Sunni. 】

【The two did not get along. 】

【In addition, more than half of Iraq's population is Shia. 】

【So Sadam began to worry about his country and became the target of Iran's revolution. 】

【At the same time, in order to seek hegemony in the Gulf region. 】

【In the end, Sadam decided to strike first and eliminate Iran while it was still unstable. 】

【In September 1980, Iraq brazenly invaded Iran. 】

【The Iran-Iraq War broke out. 】

【Yiran actively organized defense and counterattack. 】

【In 1982, Iran launched a counterattack against Iraq, and the Iraqi army was defeated and passively beaten everywhere. 】

【It was at this time that the United States began to help Iraq. 】

【The reason was that the newly born Republic of Iraq was extremely hostile to the United States. 】

【The ruling Shia Muslims first got rid of the control of the United States in politics and military, and then created the Iraq hostage crisis, detaining the US embassy staff for more than 400 days. 】

【This also made the United States and Iraq completely hostile. 】

【Based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. 】

【The United States was ready to support Iraq, Iraq's opponent. At the same time, due to its geographical location, supporting Iraq could effectively prevent the spread of Iraq's power to surrounding countries. 】

【When Iraq was counterattacked into its own territory, it sent a proposal to Iraq for peace and truce. 】

【But Iraq tried to defeat Iraq in one fell swoop and rejected this proposal. 】

【Therefore, this war also has the factor that the two countries want to compete for regional hegemony. 】

【The result is that since the peace talks failed, the Iran-Iraq War continued for another six years, and neither side could do anything to the other during these six years. 】

【The two sides fought a long war of attrition, and both sides suffered losses in the end. 】

【It was not until 1988 that the two countries officially ceased fire. 】

【During the war, Iraq used a large number of chemical weapons, which the United States knew about, and even many chemical weapons were made with the help of the United States. 】

【The international community did not put too much pressure on Iraq. 】

【After the Iran-Iraq War, SAAD's dream of becoming a regional hegemon did not come true. Instead, it became a vassal state of the United States in the Middle East because it received a large amount of US aid. 】

【But how could the arrogant SAAD be willing to be a pawn of the United States? 】

【In 1990, the Iran-Iraq War had only been going on for two years. 】

【Sadam seized the opportunity and directly annexed Kewit. 】

【Sadam sent troops to annex this country because it was attracted by the local oil and seaports, as well as the power of the world powers in the Middle East.]

[The occupation of Kewait was only the first step for Sadam to become the Arab hegemon. ]

[He dreamed of dominating the Middle East, strangling the United States with oil, and being on an equal footing with the United States. ]

[The United States regarded this action against Iraq as a betrayal of itself. ]

[In this war, the United States occupied the commanding heights of morality and public opinion from the beginning. ]

[Most countries in the world condemned Iraq's invasion of Kewait and supported the United Nations' action against Iraq. The United States even directed and acted in a good play to win domestic support. ]

[Soon after Kewai was annexed. ]

[A 15-year-old girl from Kewai frequently appeared in front of the camera of the US media. ]

[The girl, who claimed to be a hospital volunteer, described Iraq's atrocities in front of the US Congressional Crowd Group. 】

[She said that the Iraqi army rushed into their hospital, snatched medical equipment, and took away many incubators used by babies. 】

[The babies of their own country were left on the ground by Iraqi soldiers to die. 】

[To be honest, let’s not talk about the Iraqi army 473 who took two days to capture Kewit. Do they have the time to snatch other people’s incubators, or what is the motive for snatching incubators? 】

[But the result is that this tearful speech has touched the hearts of countless Americans. 】

[This made many anti-war factions begin to support the country’s actions in Iraq. 】

[The then US president also cited this story many times to prove the justice of his military action. 】

Han Dynasty.

After reading it, Liu Che sorted out his thoughts.

"In the final analysis, it's all for profit."

"Small countries are unwilling to be vassals of big countries and want independence, but they are not strong enough and have leverage in the hands of big countries."

At first, he thought it was the United States, bullying small countries whenever and wherever they wanted.

Only after reading it did he realize that it was all because of the conflict of interests.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head helplessly.

"All major events in the world are for profit, let's not talk about who is right or wrong."

Things between countries are not easy to judge by right or wrong.

Zhao Kuangyin was too lazy to delve into right or wrong.

If you really want to delve into it, wasn't he also making a big mistake when he bullied an orphan and a widow to get to the throne?

It's because the interests are too great.
