On the stage of world politics, every United Nations General Assembly is a drama that brings together the leaders of various countries, and the script of this drama is often more exciting and confusing than we imagined. On this stage, sometimes the words and deeds of politicians are even more vivid and unbelievable than the plot in the TV series.
First up was Venezuela's former President Hugo Chávez, whose appearance is always highly anticipated. Standing on the rostrum of the UN General Assembly, he did not open his speech in a svenile manner, as is customary, but said mercilessly: There is a devil's breath here, because it was US President George W. Bush who stood here yesterday. These remarks immediately caused an uproar and laughter at the scene, but more importantly, this "straightforward" statement directly impacted Bush Jr.'s approval rating and seriously damaged his political image. What makes Chávez's rhetoric so striking is not only his bold and eclectic expression, but also his sharp gaze at political reality.
Next, there is an awkward scene between Palestine and Israel. The "quarrel" between the representatives of two long-standing rival countries at the UN General Assembly has almost become an annual "must-watch program". The representative of Israel asked the Palestinian representative bluntly: Will you condemn the Palestinians who have carried out terrorist attacks against Israel? This kind of scene allows people to see the real relationship between leaders in international politics, and it is no longer the kind of packaged appearance. If the two sat closer, it might really turn into a physical altercation, which would undoubtedly make the global media stage a "political war".
Finally, former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's speech was even more hilarious. His straightforward statement at the UN General Assembly: "We are not gay!" not only showed his conservative views, but also caused an uproar and laughter at the scene. Mugabe's remarks undoubtedly reflect the collision of different cultural concepts on the international stage, and also highlight the huge differences in values between countries in the world.
In this political arena, the words and deeds of leaders are not only the expression of political positions, but also the expression of culture, beliefs and personal feelings. Their rhetoric and demeanor are a direct reflection of the complexity and diversity of international politics. Sometimes, the performance of these political elites is even more dramatic and shocking than the plot of the TV series. And on this stage full of challenges and variables, every statement they make may change the pattern of the world and affect the fate of the world.
