Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 554 The Security Council’s negative vote

Second update

From the bottom of his heart, there are two things that Yanayev is worried about. One is the United States' constant attempts to intervene in Middle East affairs and provoke regional disputes. The second is the issue of Islamic’s global expansion. Compared with the visible harm of the former, the invisible harm of the latter seems to be more troublesome. The Islamic extremist forces, which could have been wiped out with just a lot of effort, are growing stronger with the connivance of the United States. Coupled with the appeasement and inaction of Western European countries, there is a vague trend of development and growth.

An Arab-Islamic alliance across Eurasia is slowly taking shape, and Turkey in Asia Minor has always been ambitious to regain the glory of the Ottoman Empire. When the United States eliminated the heroes one after another in the Middle East, it did not realize that it was bringing greater disaster to the entire world. The entire Middle East, deprived of strong leadership, is set for a revival of Islamic fundamentalism. At that time, it 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 unexpectedly became the last protective barrier for secularization in the Middle East. Syria's Hafez Assad was able to maintain orthodoxy under the protection of the Soviet Union, while Iraq was undergoing a disguised transformation. Become the graveyard of empires. The hatred between Sunnis and Shias, and the discord between the US military and Saddam's troops have become the flashpoint for the entire Middle East.

This is also the reason why Yanayev firmly opposed and resisted the expansion of Ottoman Turkey, because no one except the Soviet Union can stand up and insist that human civilization will not continue to be harmed by the expansion of Islam. This is no longer the era of Saladin. As the last successor to the will of the Third Rome, Yanayev will never take a step back.

We lost Constantinople once, but we will never lose Moscow again.

Therefore, among the representatives of various countries in the United Nations Parliament, only the Soviet representative Igor Sergeyevich Ivanov seemed a little worried. It seemed that the surrounding representatives did not realize how serious this was, and they were still talking and laughing.

The United States, France and the United Kingdom have basically colluded to give Türkiye an unexpected surprise. After all, the United States' actions in Cyprus bypassed the United Nations Security Council. Although the United States did not directly carry out military strikes, the United Kingdom has provided cover for Cyprus' air strikes.

What the United States has to do now is to delay and then negotiate with Maziel. Either you obediently step down and replace yourself with a pro-American president, or the United States continues to weaken Türkiye 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. Everyone is looking forward to Turkey's death. Now no one can stand by his side and speak for him.

When the voting began, the American representatives were caught off guard and voted against, followed closely by the United Kingdom and France. Ivanov only voted against it after the Chinese representative abstained from voting.

As a result, Turkey's idea of ​​​​wanting United Nations peacekeeping forces to intervene in the Cyprus civil war was completely aborted. The final proposal failed to pass the Security Council resolution with four votes against and one abstention. This is also a definite fact. This means that Türkiye has completely become the target of attacks.

After the vote, Ivanov did not show the same joy as other representatives. From the outside, this man of medium height and gentle demeanor seems to be a boring and conservative person. In addition, he usually doesn't smile, his face always seems to be tense, he speaks cautiously, and he pays great attention to the propriety of his words. No wonder some people say that Ivanov is the most suitable representative of the Soviet Union as a diplomat.

"Comrade Ivanov, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with the results of this vote?" U.S. representative Frank Wisner said sarcastically, "This is a very rare occasion when we stand on the same position. Is it possible that we are on the same side?" Shouldn’t we celebrate with a glass of champagne?”

Wiesner deliberately showed off his Russian in front of Ivanov to mock his unauthentic Russian English. And he specifically used the word gay.

Wisner's words did not arouse Ivanov's interest. He just turned around indifferently and said to Wisner in standard English pronunciation, "It seems that we have nothing to talk about. Mr. Wisner, you are free." While we are celebrating here with champagne, we might as well think about the future of the United States, oh no, it should be Western Europe.”

Ivanov stretched out his hand, pointed at the representatives of other countries who were celebrating happily, and said disdainfully, "Have you seen them? It seems that these people don't know what stupid things they are doing. Of course, I obey the central government's decision, but I don't It’s just America, the whole world is making the same mistake.”

"Huh?" Wisner laughed dumbly, "Same mistake? With all due respect, Mr. Ivanov, any country that dares to go against the United States will have only one fate."

Ivanov seemed to be used to this threatening tone. He said calmly, "It's really a typical neoconservative style. No wonder American hawkish politicians would say, either stand with the United States or stand with the United States." It’s an extreme statement from the terrorists. It turns out that the entire world must serve the interests of the United States.”

"Of course," Wisner said.

Since the 1980s, neoconservatism has gradually taken control of the American public opinion camp. Especially after the Bush administration came to power, it became more aggressive in diplomacy and attacked on all sides, reflecting the conservative realist diplomatic concept proposed during the election campaign. It followed the principle of the supremacy of U.S. national interests and pursued unilateral diplomacy based on strength. .

The instrumental use of international cooperation by political hawks guided by neoconservatism soon became apparent. America's allies, especially its European allies, have discovered that the United States is burning bridges and even turning sides. Especially in various international actions, it deliberately marginalizes the role of its allies in the face of interests. Many senior U.S. officials have shown indifference or even disdain for the EU on different occasions. Even in response to the anti-war actions of the French and German governments, former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld scolded European countries as useless, causing tension in U.S.-European relations. Then, on the issues of Palestine and Israel, Iraq, trade protectionism, environmental protection and other global issues, the United States and the European Union had serious differences and conflicts of interest one after another, and serious rifts appeared in the alliance.

But political hawks like Wisner see this toughness and defiance as necessary.

Ivanov shook his head and corrected Wisner's point of view, "Let me tell you, Mr. Wisner. What will happen next. As an army that maintains Turkey's secularization, once it collapses in the country, There will be a series of chain reactions, including the lack of confrontation with Turkey's domestic religious issues. So where will Turkey develop next? Of course, it will destroy the secular regime established by Kemal and become a country again. Religious country.”

"Then there is the issue of Iraq. After removing Saddam, the political strongman, can Iraq be controlled as desired? Of course not. Sunnis still dream of becoming an extremist country based on doctrine. By then You will develop a secular state that is not democratic and free at all, but a regime that supports terrorism.”

"There is also the Syrian regime that you are bent on subverting. Without Assad's protection, will it be far away that the Middle East will become a peaceful paradise for Islamic fundamentalism?"

Ivanov's every word made Wisner very unhappy. He said disdainfully, "The United States only needs an air strike to dismantle those regimes."

"Disintegrate?" Ivanov sneered, "Look at the current situation in Europe. Those religious refugees are occupying those countries. Do you know how Yugoslavia and Cyprus collapsed? Without exception, those who believe in Islam are refugees, driving the original inhabitants from their land.”

Finally, Ivanov looked at Wisner, whose expression changed slightly, and added, "As a word of advice, no one wants to see the rise of a pan-Islamic blue alliance. By that time, the price paid by the United States and the Soviet Union will be It will be even more painful." To be continued.
