"The Governments of Iraq and Kuwait abruptly declared a ceasefire in Moscow, and Iraq will unconditionally withdraw all Iraqi forces from Kuwait" "The Soviet Union announced that it would allow Iraq to repay its foreign debt of about $30 billion with oil, which would be converted into Soviet investment in Iraq's oil industry" "Under the mediation of the Soviet Union, Syria agreed to build an oil pipeline with Iraq and Kuwait connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf, and the Soviet Union would be responsible for the construction contract for the entire project, and the oil pipeline project would adopt Soviet oil pipeline standards, and at the same time, Iraq would transfer part of the interest in the pipeline to Kuwait to compensate for Kuwait's foreign debt" "Iraq executed several high-ranking military officers who had launched the war of aggression against Kuwait without authorization and agreed to pay Kuwait compensation for the war" "Kuwait announces expulsion of three Saudi diplomats and four US diplomats" "The Bush administration's diplomacy is weak, and the Republicans are afraid of losing their parliamentary majority in the midterm elections" Just after the United Nations General Assembly, the proposal submitted to the Security Council by the multinational group headed by the United States on an armed attack against Iraq was vetoed by the Soviet Union, and then the above-mentioned eye-popping combination occurred: Iraq and Kuwait declared a ceasefire in Moscow under the leadership of the Soviet Union, Iraq unconditionally withdrew its troops from Kuwait to restore territorial sovereignty, and the two countries were reconciled.
At the same time, the Soviet Union was granted the exclusive right to build an oil pipeline from Kuwait to the Syrian port of Latakia.
The Soviet Union emerged as the biggest winner in the Kuwaiti crisis.
The Bush administration's diplomatic failures have caused his approval ratings to plummet, and at this moment, the Bush administration is about to usher in the US midterm elections.
Because the Bush administration has stubbornly gone its own way on the issue of sending troops, this has greatly disappointed many Americans.
Gorbachev was very heartened by Seryosha's overwhelming victory in the Middle East, a major diplomatic victory for the Soviet Union after the collapse of the socialist bloc in Eastern Europe, and Seryosha used economic means as an opportunity to solve the problem in this incident, which not only allowed Iraq and Kuwait to turn hostility into peace, but also restored relations between Syria and Iraq, the two major allies of the Soviet Union in the Middle East.
And the Soviet Union turned Iraq's liabilities into high-quality Soviet oil assets in the Middle East.
However, Seryosha still has some regrets, that is, the Saudis did not accept the conditions of the Soviet Union, but this has led to a better situation.
Kuwait, which had been a loyal follower of Saudi Arabia, began to estranged itself from Saudi Arabia and led to the embrace of the Soviet Union.
This also made Saudi Arabia's position in the Arab countries begin to waver.
This was definitely a good phenomenon for the USSR.
In a fit of rage, President Bush canceled the meeting with Seryosha, and Seryosha naturally did not want to stay in the United States longer, so he flew back to Moscow.
Report to the Politburo on work at the United Nations.
Seryosha's achievements are in everyone's eyes, and even those who are not convinced think that they cannot do better than Seryosha.
Seryosha's talent for diplomacy was so evident in the Kuwaiti issue that Shevardnadze proposed that Seryosha take full responsibility for the next negotiations on the merger of the two Germanys.42 Because of Seryosha's performance at the United Nations General Assembly, people have seen a different Soviet Union, which is no longer the chauvinistic face of a great power in the past, but uses a more flexible, mutually beneficial and win-win mentality to deal with international issues.
This led to a shift in the perception of the Soviet Union in many countries.
Not long after Seryosha returned to Moscow, good news came one after another.
Yeltsin was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Republic with an undisputed high vote, and Gorbachev was elected the first post-perestroika president of the Soviet Union.
In addition, Bulgaria and Romania announced their accession to the European Consolidated Market (UEM) and accepted the custody of the Central Bank of Eastern Europe.
Albania and Yugoslavia, on the other hand, became observer countries for the Central Banks of Eastern Europe.
Seryosha was receptive to Albania, but Seryosha had reservations about Yugoslavia, which was politically unstable and in danger of being torn apart like the Soviet Union.
In such a situation, the admission of Yugoslavia to the Central Bank of Eastern Europe's unified market plan would be tantamount to setting itself on fire.
However, not all news is good, in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania three countries.
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union lost power in the local elections.
The winners were all pro-independence local democratic platform parties.
Since the CPSU had already changed its program before the elections and was not imposing the ideology of the CPSU on the whole country, the independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was inevitable.
In addition, the Communist Party of Georgia narrowly won the elections, and in elections in regions such as Moldavia, the Communist Party did not have a majority in the local Supreme Soviet.
Seryosha did not invest any money in improving the local economy in these republics, so it was not surprising that the CPSU would lose power in which areas.
But now Seryosha is not in a hurry about this.
Because after these countries broke away from the Soviet Union, they would face the same dilemma as the Eastern European countries, losing both support from the Soviet Union and the acceptance of the United States and Western countries.
The only way in front of them in the future is the unified market of Eastern Europe, and these countries lost by the Soviet Union will be controlled by the Gorky bloc by economic means, and whether to disintegrate or not is actually a question of more than one name, since the CPSU gave up its identity as the sole ruling party, the Soviet Union has legally created a legal exit mechanism for the member states.
Seryosha's only demand now is that the CPSU does not split in Russia and Ukraine, does not lose power.
Seryosha is now Yeltsin's biggest political ally, and as long as Seryosha does not oppose Gorbachev, Yeltsin will naturally not oppose it.
As for the democratic program that Yakovlev had cultivated, Seryosha decided to find an opportunity to completely purge them from the CPSU.
After the Central Bank of Eastern Europe took Romania and Bulgaria, Seryosha had a new plan, which was to combine the abundant resources of the Soviet Union with the economy of Eastern Europe.
Building an energy and economic community.
This idea is very beneficial to both Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union can obtain a stable energy consumption market, and Eastern Europe can obtain cheap energy, thereby reducing the cost of competition for their enterprises, and the Eastern European region now enjoys the preferential trade conditions of the United States and Europe, which the Soviet Union does not have, but the Soviet Union can indirectly obtain these preferences through the industry of Eastern Europe. t1706231537:
