The first conflict addressed was surrounding India & Pakistan. These two previously silent nations were at arms with each other, shifting the blame of their respective issues back and forth. India believes that all Pakistan is doing is “wreaking havoc all over the place with a terrorist regime,” and “discrediting the Pakistani government with supported militants”. Pakistan’s only response was “We are NOT terrorist!” which warranted a scoff from various observing nations. India continued to scold Pakistan as a parent would to a disobedient child, harping on the nation’s illiteracy & crime rates. India believes that Pakistan-supported terrorism needs to be stopped, but unwilling to get their own hands dirty, they called upon the United States “to press Pakistan’s militant support”. The US has shown little to no interest in the matter.
Russia proves that they are still upset over the arctic deal’s fall-through with a few more snide criticisms directed towards Canada & the United States: “If USA showed Canada a bit of a fist, then I would be living in the arctic, you would be bothering Iran, and we would all be happy”. Putin continued to voice his disdain, stating to United States “You’re their puppeteer, Canada’s the puppet, and you just didn’t pull the right strings”
Halfway through the debate, Israel proclaimed that they had staged a strategic airstrike on the terrorist group Hezbollah, which turned out to be a direct bombing of Beirut. An infuriated Lebanese delegate rightfully criticized and slandered the unexpected Israeli attack on its civilians and capital city. Other Middle Eastern allies were quick to jump to Lebanon’s defence, with nations like Syria making the brash statement directly to Israel: “All peace talks have gone out the window, you better be prepared to go to war with the entire Middle East,”
Lebanon shot a pointed look at the United States during the entire debate. When asked whether USA should get involved, Lebanon made their position quite clear. “I would assume that USA would take extreme action. Israel attacked our capital city, 1.4 million innocent citizens!”
After a minute of contemplation, Joe Biden spoke up. “I’m not going to act like I’m not pissed off, but until we see the extent of the damage, we will not disclose a decision.” Lebanon was less than pleased to say the very least.
It seems the only nation to show any support for Israel’s strategic airstrike is Egypt, who believes that “They have a right to protect themselves!”, though few would call such an outwardly offensive move protection.
