Israel tore up the UN Charter and wanted to follow in Gaddafi's footsteps? Why is it so arrogant?

According to relevant reports, in recent days, Israel has flagrantly violated the provisions of the UN Charter in full view of the international community, which shocked and confused the diplomats of various countries present, and this scene cannot help but be reminiscent of another similar incident. In fact, more than a decade ago, African dictator Muammar Gaddafi violently challenged the first UN charter. So who is Gaddafi? Why is it so arrogant? Allow me to give you a detailed breakdown of his life trajectory and how he pushed himself into the abyss of destruction.

Located at the northern tip of Africa, Libya is rich in oil resources, and its reserves are among the best in the world, ranking among the top ten in the world. If Gaddafi had made good use of these resources and actively promoted the development of the oil industry, perhaps he could have lived a prosperous and carefree life like other Middle Eastern oil-producing countries, but fate played a joke on him, and he reigned for more than 40 years, from 1969 to 2011, during which he repeatedly provoked the first UN Charter. And this is just an insignificant fragment of Gaddafi's crazy life.

In 1969, Libya's history reached a turning point. Muammar Gadafe became the new leader of Libya after a successful coup d'état that overthrew the more than 400-year-old Haftar dynasty, and since then he has been at the helm of Libya.

Because of the long-standing strong dissatisfaction with Western countries, Gedafe took a series of bold measures at the beginning of his administration. He was determined to distance himself from the three major Western powers – Britain, France, and the United States. At home, he pursued a strategy of completely getting rid of French interference, not only closing down all American and British military bases in the country, but also forcibly expelling more than 6,000 British and American soldiers, and he also annulled a number of important military and economic cooperation agreements signed between the former king and the United States, and nationalized all assets in Libya that originally belonged to Western countries.

And Gdafe's ambitions go far beyond that. He had ambitions to unite African nations to form a powerful African Union that would weaken France's far-reaching influence in Africa and thus achieve its own hegemony on the continent. This action undoubtedly touched France's core interests in Africa and aroused strong dissatisfaction and resolute counterattack from France.

In 1980, Chad, Libya's neighbor, suddenly launched a military campaign against Libya with the intention of retaking territory previously occupied by Libya. Although Chad is relatively militarily weak and difficult to compete with Libya, France has chosen to lend a helping hand to Chad at this time. With the support of France, the Chadian army has significantly increased its combat effectiveness, resulting in successive defeats of the Libyan army on the battlefield. Faced with this dilemma, Gadamel was furious and vowed to take revenge on France.

On the U.S. side, dictator Muammar Gaddafi has incited hostility toward the United States and sees the United States as the primary threat to Arab states. He often clashed with the United States, and after warning them, he feared a blow, especially an air attack by American warplanes, so he decided to create a no-fly zone off the coast of Libya, which changed in 1981 when American forces directly breached the undefined no-fly zone and destroyed two Libyan Air Force fighter jets. Gaddafi was furious and declared that he would retaliate against the United States.

Qaddafi knew that Libya alone could not confront the powerful Western powers, so he opted for a more covert strategy. In 1984, many Libyans opposed to Muammar el-Gaddafi's regime gathered outside the Libyan embassy in the United Kingdom to protest, and Gaddafi did not hesitate to order embassy staff to use weapons to open fire on the demonstrators, resulting in the injuries of many British citizens, including a 25-year-old British policewoman. The incident sparked a nationwide backlash and led to a sharp deterioration in relations between the two countries.

In 1989, shortly after takeoff from N'Djamena, the Chadian capital, a United Airlines plane suffered a devastating explosion in Nigerian airspace, leaving all passengers and crew on board, including 54 French citizens. After a series of in-depth and exhaustive investigations, many Western countries finally locked down the Gaddafi regime as the culprit behind the terrorist attack.

The incident sparked strong international condemnation, and major powers such as the United Kingdom, the United States and France joined forces to put pressure on the United Nations to impose comprehensive economic sanctions on Libya, causing the country's economy to fall into serious difficulties. Gaddafi's extremist behavior provoked widespread discontent in the international community, including China at the time.

Gaddafi's ambition to raze Israel to the ground, but Libya's limitations in nuclear weapons technology prevented him from developing an atomic bomb on his own, and the dictator turned to a nuclear weapons deal with China, and the Chinese government, which adhered to its foreign policy and moral principles, rejected both of his government's requests to visit China.

In the face of China's firm stance, Gaddafi resented and took extreme retaliatory measures. He has openly established diplomatic relations with the authorities of China's Taiwan region, seriously violating the one-China principle universally recognized by the international community, and he has also wantonly slandered China's international image on the international stage in an attempt to undermine normal exchanges and cooperation between China and other African countries. These acts are not only a great provocation to China, but also a flagrant violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations.

In March 2011, the United Nations Security Council conducted an important vote on the situation in Libya. In the process, the representatives of the United States, Britain, France and other countries voted in favor, while China and Russia chose to abstain from voting. As a result of this vote, the Security Council was able to adopt the motion to impose military pressure measures on Libya. Soon after the results of the vote were announced, France bore the brunt of the vote and took the lead in military means; Immediately, armed forces from the United States and Britain followed suit and quickly entered the battle.

Under the powerful offensive of the coalition forces of the United States, Britain, France and other Western powers, the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi fled in all directions, until he was finally forced to hide in the sewers, but even so, he could not escape the angry pursuit of the Libyan people. Angry Libyans dragged Gaddafi like a wild beast for more than 40 meters underground, beating and insulting him continuously. Gaddafi pleaded as he was tortured, but the anger of the people could not be quelled, and the number of participants grew. In the midst of the chaos, Gaddafi was eventually killed, and his body was publicly displayed for four days.
