After Saddam Hussein was arrested from the base by the US special forces, he soon became a major problem for the US side, and Saddam Hussein was their biggest headache.
After all, Saddam Hussein is one of the most powerful leaders in the world, and even if the United States wants to kill him, it cannot find any excuse, Iraq's influence in the world is too great, and if it wants to punish Saddam, it must act in accordance with international law, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction all over the world.
Why didn't Saddam Hussein end his life.
Saddam Hussein endured three years of severe torture in the dungeons of the United States, and many people did not understand why Saddam Hussein lived in this world in such humiliation, because he was a "soft bone".
In fact, this also shows that Saddam, as the hegemon of the Middle East, has a sober understanding of the world situation, and believes that the Americans do not need to kill him.
In fact, the reason is very simple, there must be a legitimate reason for fighting a war, and the United States in the Persian Gulf War in 1991 was to let Kuwait gain freedom, which is why the United States was able to gain international recognition.
However, when the United States launched the Iraq War in 2003, it could not find any excuse that could convince the whole world, because in the post-war world structure, any unjustified war is an act of aggression, and such behavior will inevitably be rejected and condemned by the world.
The United States tried its best to find an excuse for itself, saying that Saddam Hussein had mastered a destructive **, which is not groundless, Iraq once used France's nuclear energy to create a nuclear bomb, and with Saddam's ambitions, it is impossible for him not to want to get a nuclear bomb.
In addition, Iraq was also equipped with a small amount of chemical ** in the Persian Gulf War, so this statement can be justified in the international community.
And the then US Secretary of State Colin Powell took his "performance" to the extreme, and even took out a white powder, claiming that it was a biological sample from Iraq, which was recognized by the Security Council.
However, it is embarrassing that after the end of the Iraq war, the United States searched almost all of Iraq and found no trace of mass destruction, so the legitimacy of the United States to start this war has been questioned internationally.
As the leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein does not know whether he possesses mass destruction**, so he believes that the United States cannot find a reason to kill him now.
After all, in the absence of any evidence, Saddam Hussein was executed, and the United States could not give an account to the international community, and even if the world thought that the United States had ulterior motives, it would be impossible to completely expose his hypocrisy.
Saddam's original intention was to go down with the United States, and to deny the accusations against him by the United States no matter what, until all the people in the world were on the side of the United States, he could be freed, and it was even possible to get some compensation from the world.
The reason why Saddam Hussein was able to say those words in front of the International Court of Justice was full of confidence was because he had such thoughts.
Harsh law of the jungle.
However, Saddam Hussein did not know that under the rule of the United States, it is still the law of the jungle, and although the United States is the ruler of this era, it has enough strength to break the rules of this world, and even if he kills Saddam, he will only get some accusations.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the United States would rather break the kettle than wait for Saddam Hussein to arrive and give the United States a resounding slap in the face.
Moreover, the battle in Iraq is, after all, just a ticket for the United States to prepare for the Middle East, and now that the ticket is in hand, the United States has achieved its goal, and even if it is shameless, it is impossible for the international community to do anything to the United States.
If China and Russia had been able to confront the United States at the world's strategic level, then there would have been no war in Iraq.
The best example of this is the Houthis, who, with the help of Iran, launched an attack on Israel, attacked US military bases and even warships in the Middle East, but the United States did not do so.
In the final analysis, the influence of the United States in the world is getting smaller and smaller, and Saddam Hussein only sees the direction of the world, but does not understand the real situation of the world, so it is not unusual for him to be executed.
However, Saddam's final decision put the United States in a dilemma: a country's prestige in the world can be said to be insignificant, but in some cases, it can change the whole world.
What the United States did in Iraq has taught the world that the United States is not a great country, nor is it a great country, it is just an out-and-out bandit.
As long as such preconceptions are established, countries will become cautious about their attitude toward the United States, especially if a large country emerges that is far more famous than the United States and is on a par with it, then countries will have to be cautious about their foreign policy.
On the other hand, if Saddam really wanted to commit suicide, then the United States would have fabricated that Saddam Hussein was afraid of death, and then faked a lot of destructive ** to convince everyone that Iraq really had a destructive **.
The world is still a long way from the true face of the United States, and Saddam's death has also resonated with the countries of the Middle East, which has also laid a huge trap for the United States to plan in the Middle East.
If the countries of the Middle East realize that the United States is not sincere about the development of their own countries and societies, then there will be no opportunity for sincere cooperation between the two countries.
As far as the current situation in the Middle East is concerned, the US Middle East strategy is disintegrating much faster than the United States itself expected, the international anti-American trend is rapidly rising, and the US power in various parts of the world is constantly weakening.
If Saddam Hussein could be here, he would definitely be proud to see this scene.
