2206 [Mainland Voice]
Although Operation Desert Storm ended due to Sadhatha's surrender, its impact still echoes around the world.
First, the success of the Desert Storm Operation greatly enhanced the United States' voice in the Middle East, paving the way for it to further control the resource treasure land in the Middle East. Since then, no one in the Middle East dared to oppose the United States except Ilang. As for Satallaber, Balin, Yicare, Kovit and other countries, they are loyal allies of the United States and are in line with its leadership.
The second is the success of the Desert Storm Operation, which washed away the humiliation that the United States suffered in the South Vietnam battlefield. In this war, the United States fought against Iraq, the fourth largest military power in the world, but only suffered less than 300 casualties, which restored the United States' confidence in the military and allowed it to interfere more actively in international affairs in the future.
Third, the success of the Desert Storm Operation led by the United States contrasted the incompetence and weakness of the Soviet Union. It gave a lasting kick to the collapse of this superpower.
After Iraqi invaded Kovit, the Soviet Union also mediated the matter, demanding that Sada Thumb implement the UN resolution and withdraw from Kovit. However, Sada Thumb rejected it and ignored it at all.
After the Desert Storm started, the Iraqi army had no power to fight back under the attack of the coalition forces. Under such circumstances, Iraq proposed to accept the UN resolution and withdraw from Kovit with conditions.
The Soviet Union immediately stood up and put forward four peace suggestions, Sada Thumm readily agreed. The Soviet Union then took the opportunity to propose further withdrawal, demanding that both sides temporarily cease fire and giving the Iraqi army a 21-day retreat time.
However, the proposal was rejected by the United States and continued to lead the coalition forces to launch a fierce attack on the Iraqi army, and eventually almost wiped out the Iraqi army, capturing more than 180,000 people, completely defeating the Iraqi army, and forcing Sadatha to accept the ceasefire agreement formulated by the coalition forces and declared surrender.
The coalition's ceasefire agreement is naturally much more harsh for Iraq than the Soviet peace agreement. It not only involves economic sanctions, military sanctions, but also requires a large amount of compensation, etc. Together, it is enough to make Iraq's struggles lose several layers of skin.
...
Looking at the Soviet Union's performance during the Gulf War, one word is used to describe it as "unremarkable".
Although it actively participated before and after the war, it never played any role. As the only two superpower in the world, its performance is really disappointing.
In comparison, as a superpower like the Soviet Union, the United States performed extremely prominently in this war. The coalition forces it led beat Iraq, the fourth largest military power in the world, to no avail.
The high-tech technology it showed in the war surprised the whole world. Its new combat concept greatly inspired other countries. Since then, many countries have begun to change their concepts and invest huge amounts of money in the research and development of high-tech equipment so as not to repeat the mistakes of Iraq.
The better the United States performs, the more it will reflect the incompetence of the Soviet Union, which will also greatly shrink its power in the Middle East, and will be even more embarrassing to the whole world.
Especially Iraq's military equipment was almost all purchased from the Soviet Union, but when it was against the United States, it was beaten so hard that it could not even find the North.
This also made the reputation of Soviet equipment plummet, seriously affected the Soviet Union's future arms transactions, and also caused it to lose a lot of money.
...
In short, the Gulf War and the victory of the coalition forces marked the resurgence of the United States and the decline of the Soviet Union.
However, the ancient Chinese said it well, misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and good fortune is the basis of bad fortune.
Although the United States won the Gulf War, it once again restored its confidence in its military strength after the first bloody "South Vietnam War".
But this also made it inevitably proud. After that, it frequently intervened in international disputes, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somalia, the Southern League, etc., and even invaded Frighanistan, Iraq, Lepiah, Syria and other countries, causing chaos in the whole world.
Not only were a large number of people dead under artillery fire, but more refugees were displaced, which became an unstable factor around the world. It also led to the spread of terrorist activities around the world, with countless casualties and injuries.
Moreover, the United States has also consumed a lot of funds, resulting in a weak domestic economy, which has triggered an unprecedented subprime mortgage crisis that has spread to the world and has a destructive and unprecedented subprime mortgage crisis. It can be said that it is a blessing that the old man lost his fortune.
...
The end of the Gulf War is actually insensible to most people around the world, after all, the distance is too far.
However, the end of the war also caused a slight increase in global stock markets, futures markets, etc., which is a good thing.
But Hong Kong's economy is still as bad as ever.
Because the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate crisis is not resolved, the people of Hong Kong will not have confidence in the Hong Kong economy. After all, who is willing to hold a currency that may depreciate significantly at any time?
However, the Hong Kong and British governments have been reluctant to take action to resolve the crisis, which has made the people increasingly disgusted with it.
At this time, several newspapers and magazines such as Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and Wenhui Po, which are inclined to the mainland, published articles from mainland scholars.
The article publishes an analysis of the economic situation in Hong Kong and requires the Hong Kong and British government to take definite measures to resolve the crisis and protect the rights and interests of Hong Kong citizens.
Because Ta Kung Pao, Wen Hui Po and others have always been pro-Mainland and to some extent represent the voice of the Mainland, these articles immediately attracted the attention of the Hong Kong people after they were published.
"See whether it is true, even the mainland has expressed dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong and British governments."
"Yes, it's a scholar's article, but it definitely represents the opinions of the mainland!"
"The mainland has come forward, I wonder if the Hong Kong and British government are willing to listen?"
The people were talking about it and were deeply interested in it.
To be honest, Hong Kong's economy has deteriorated to this extent, except for summer and some short sellers, most other people are losing money.
This made their lives very difficult, and they didn't even have a good New Year.
But although they are full of complaints, their strength is still too weak compared to the strong Hong Kong and British government. So although they urgently hope that the Hong Kong and British government can come out to rescue the market, they just don’t listen and they can’t do anything about it.
Now the mainland can stand up and speak out for them. To be honest, it is quite exciting and encouraging for them.
Because the mainland is much more powerful than the Hong Kong and British governments.
Moreover, the Mainland and the United Kingdom have signed the Sino-British Joint Statement, agreeing to accept Hong Kong in six years. The Hong Kong and British governments also have the responsibility to return a prosperous Hong Kong to the Mainland. Therefore, the Mainland now has the right to speak out and interfere in Hong Kong affairs.
Under such pressure, it is difficult for the Hong Kong and British government to continue to pretend to be dead and may take measures to save the market. This is really something worth celebrating for ordinary people.
