    Shafaq News/ The Australian Strategic Policy Institute drew a world that is heading towards more conflict and competition between major powers, despite its urgent need for unity, while the United States has lost a lot of respect around the world because of its policies during the past decades, while offering a comparison between the two wars in Iraq in 1990 And Ukraine in 2022 is a scene of the nature of the transformations the world is witnessing.




    Under the title "A Tale of Two Invasions," the Australian Institute recalled Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, saying that "the leader of a tyrannical state endowed with vast energy reserves masses his armed forces along the borders of a weaker neighbour, claiming it has no right to exist as an independent state, and then begins They invaded with the aim of swallowing their neighbor and wiping them off the map.”
    He added that the Iraqi forces took full control of Kuwait within days, recalling that Saddam considered it an Iraqi province.

    The report added that the world was immediately confronted with the difficult question of what to do in response.

    The institute replaced Saddam Hussein with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iraq with Russia, and Kuwait with Ukraine, noting that the description related to Kuwait now applies to Ukraine and what happened in February 2022, when Putin mobilized the Russian army along the border with Ukraine, a country whose independence he rejected in In an article published last July, he wrote, "I am confident that the true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only through partnership with Russia."

    The report considered that the main point in both crises is related to the simplest criteria affecting international politics, which is respect for the borders of countries and not to change them by using force, adding that in the cases of Iraq and Russia, the leader overestimated his strength for success, and in both cases also many around the world underestimated the threat. thinking it's a hoax.

    The report added that diplomacy and economic sanctions were not up to the challenges posed by Iraq and Russia, adding that what was required was military force to a large extent, while American leadership was necessary to reverse the course of aggression in one of the two wars (Iraq) and resist it in the other case (Russia).

    However, the report made it clear that the important differences between the Iraqi and Russian scenarios shed light on the extent to which the world has changed.

    He added that in the year 1990, bilateral relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were relatively good, which allowed achieving a peaceful end to the Cold War, and the Soviets provided diplomatic support to the United States in its efforts to resist the Iraqi aggression against Kuwait, although Iraq was a strong partner for Moscow. For a long time.
    The report added that the Soviet Union no longer exists today, and now Russia, the main successor to the Soviets, has become more angry, resentful and isolated, and is now committing aggression rather than opposing it.

    The report said that the Security Council condemned 30 years ago the Iraqi aggression and gave permission to impose economic sanctions and also to use military force with the aim of liberating Kuwait. He added that the Security Council is now being sidelined, as a result of Russia's permanent veto power.

    In addition, China supported, or at least did not prevent, international efforts to confront the Iraqi aggression against Kuwait, indicating that relations between Washington and Beijing were then much better than they are now, as there was Chinese-American cooperation against the Soviet Union in the decades. The last of the cold war. Besides, China was much weaker at the time, and its economy was much smaller than the size of the US economy, and it was Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping's saying about hiding and waiting capabilities that stimulated China's diplomatic strategy.

    Now, the report says, China announced a boundless partnership with Russia on the eve of its invasion and has stood by Russia ever since.

    And the report continued that when the United States sent half a million soldiers to the Middle East and intervened decisively in favor of Kuwait 30 years ago, but this time it avoided that in light of its concern about waging a direct war after its failed interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq after the September 11 attacks, and in Its concern remained about confronting a nuclear-armed Russia, and for this reason, it limited its role to providing weapons, ammunition, intelligence and training.

    Referring to the invasion of Kuwait, the report said that the world at that time rallied against the aggression, but now it did not, and that for one reason or another, many countries avoid opposing Russia, indicating in this context as an example that India and other countries buy their weapons and oil from the Russians. .

    In addition, the Australian report said that "America's ability to mobilize the world has diminished a lot, partly because respect for the United States has declined a lot, as a result of its internal divisions and widespread global opposition to the US interventions in Iraq in 2003 and in Libya in 2011."

    The report considered that the administration of US President Joe Biden did not help itself much by insisting on framing the war as a democratic war versus tyranny, explaining that many countries in the world are hardly considered democratic, and perhaps these countries would have been more responsive if the United States had dealt with the war as an invasion. It is a threat to the freedom of a country, an idea supported by most of the world's governments.

    The report warned that geopolitics and competition between great powers, which are common phenomena throughout history, have now returned, just as armed conflict between countries has also returned, and that the post-Cold War recess period in history has also ended.
    While the report pointed out that the United States remains the first among equals, but that does not mean anything resembling hegemony, explaining that the advantages that America enjoyed in the year 1990 have disappeared as others gained more power.

    He also concluded by saying that the most important thing is that the gap between the world's reaction to the aggression then and now (Iraq and Russia) constitutes a realistic warning that the international system has deteriorated, and the world has become more divided when it needed unity more than ever to face challenges. Common diseases such as infectious diseases, climate change and artificial intelligence technologies.

    The report considered that the idea of ​​unity is rare with regard to international relations, and that the term "international community" is mostly theoretical, adding that evidence is increasing that the post-Cold War period opened the way for a new era characterized by unrest and fragmentation more than the system, adding that "it has The new era does not yet have a name, but the truth is there for all to see."
