Much of the world today is very peaceful and stable, but there are also some areas that remain in chaos, such as the Middle East, which has been in a state of tension. More than a decade ago, Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi could be said to be the two great tyrants in the Middle East, they were both civilians and became the rulers by their own efforts. Not only are they from similar origins, but the two end up being unusually identical. Saddam Hussein failed in his confrontation with the United States, and after eight months on the run, he was eventually arrested and subsequently hanged, and Gaddafi eventually died at the hands of the Americans.
Saddam Hussein's merits and demerits are not the focus of today's discussion, Saddam had a son named Udai, who lived a very extravagant life, not only indulging in sex but also fierce. From Uday's body, it can also be reflected that Saddam Hussein's failure is inevitable. Because of the continuous corruption within his family, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of everyone for his own enjoyment, so he caused dissatisfaction among the people, and eventually made it the target of public criticism and was spurned by thousands of people. So how extravagant is Udai's life? We can tell from the pets he keeps.
He was chosen as the heir and attracted much attention from an early age
Saddam Hussein had two sons and three daughters, of which the eldest son, Udai, was the most talked about, and many regarded him as his heir. From a very young age, he was highly valued and favored by his father, mainly responsible for managing trade and military work, and he once formed a team called "Saddam Hussein Death Squad", which enjoyed a certain reputation in the army. As Uday grew older and larger, his ambitions were gradually exposed, and Udai's personality was the most similar to his father's, so Saddam Hussein valued him.
Udai was rebellious and sometimes even dared to rebel against his father. Saddam Haddam had a personal bodyguard named Kamal, who trusted him so much that he usually ate food that Camele himself tasted before he ate it. But Uday did not take this man seriously, but instead beat him to death with a stick. The reason is that Uday heard that Kamal wanted to take a concubine for his father, so he was extremely dissatisfied, so he killed him. Saddam Hussein was furious when he learned of this, but in the end he was imprisoned for forty days and then released.
Udai has a fierce personality, and the principle of daily behavior is to go along with it, and to die against him, as long as he has the opposite opinion, even if he is a relative, he can kill the killer. Because of this incident, Uday made many enemies, but because he was Saddam's most valued son, many people had words of suffering, and could only suppress this anger in their hearts, and did not dare to vent at will. With his father's power and his favor for himself, Uday never considered the consequences from an early age and did things entirely according to his own subjective will.
Extravagant, enjoy the luxury of beautiful women
Uday is a man of great taste, his mistresses are all over the Middle East, and Uday lives in a lavish palace he built, which contains countless antique paintings that he has collected and looted from all over the world. Friends around him know that he is, and in order to please him, they will introduce beautiful women to him from time to time. Uday often hangs out in the club, and the beautiful women around him are constantly changing. What is even more surprising is that as long as it is the woman he likes, he will get it at all costs.
In some high-end parties, Uday would even openly pick beautiful women with telescopes, and once he was attracted to her, whether the girl wanted to or not, he would forcibly take her to his side. The identity of the girls who attended this high-end cocktail party was not simple, many of them were the children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but Udai never cared about this. Uday once took a fancy to the daughter of a provincial governor, who was only 14 years old at the time, but Udai sent his bodyguards to snatch her up. When the governor came to ask for his daughter, Uday also made a provocative remark, telling the governor to bring his 12-year-old daughter with him next time.
In addition to the beautiful luxury car, Udai's favorite is also fine wine, and he will send someone to buy expensive drinks from Europe every year. Some say that the palace where Uday lived was like Elysium, with servants, bodyguards, cooks, and beautiful women for his pleasure, a life that was almost indistinguishable from that of ancient emperors.
He is vicious and raises leopards as pets
Udai is a cruel man, he likes to carry a wooden stick with him when he travels, as long as it is a person who does not like himself, whether he has a festival with himself or not, Udai will beat him unconscious. According to the memories of his bodyguards, a 24-year-old girl once refused his courtship, and the embarrassed and angry Uday actually released two wolf dogs to bite the girl alive.
The animals that Udai likes are naturally different from ordinary people, and most people like to raise cats and dogs as pets, but Udai prefers ferocious carnivores such as lions and leopards. It is said that after Uday's death, someone once found a place in his palace dedicated to raising lions and leopards, and Udai treated them as pets on weekdays, which shows how perverted they are. In the history of our country, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty also had a leopard room, which was specially designed for his enjoyment. It can be seen that the degree of luxury of Udai is similar to that of ancient emperors.
For ordinary people, lions, leopards and other ferocious animals we have only seen in zoos, and when we see them on weekdays, we are afraid of being hurt by them. But Uday is not afraid, but still treats them as pets and enjoys the pleasure of taming them. After Uday's murder, his pets were taken away and in 2003 they were sent to the Baghdad Zoo and shown to visitors.
Uday can be described as innocent, he is not only reckless and violent, but also alcoholic, and his insatiable personality leads to his demise step by step. Uday has a paranoid personality and always regards abusing others as his greatest pleasure, so there are no people around him who really follow him, and those people are just forced by his obscenity and dare not easily resist, so when he is in trouble, no one is willing to reach out to help, they are all cold-eyed.
brief summary
From Uday's character and style of conduct, we can see that the failure of Saddam's family is inevitable. Although they hold supreme rights but do not know how to apply them, they use these rights to hurt ordinary people with impunity, and such people are doomed to be overthrown.
The rights he was born with and the favor of his father developed the indomitable character of Udai, and these powers brought him supreme glory and brought him to ruin. Just as the so-called evil has evil retribution, Udai has done countless evils in his life, and in the end, he can be regarded as paying the due price for the mistakes he has made.
