United Nations Security Council 1980


The United Nations Security Council (1982) is currently debating the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The United States of America is attempting to temporarily suspend the USSR from the Security Council on the grounds of violation of the Geneva Convention. The USSR retaliated to this idea by threatening to wage war on the United States due to policy differences. The United States has answered as peacefully as possible, that they want to remain peaceful and secure the nation of Afghanistan.

However, finding a resolution that most of the representatives in the council can agree upon is proving to be a difficult task.

“We are going in circles,” said a representative from the USA.

The council is frustrated between reckoning with opposing views. The U.K. is neutral, Poland doesn’t support force against USSR, Zaire believes the U.S. should stop supporting the Mujahideen, China is in favor of stopping the war and the USSR plans to continue opposition, despite plans from global superpower the USA alleging that the USSR has committed war crimes.

Additionally, the U.S. and Japan are the only nations wishing to punish the USSR for their criminal actions. The remainder of the Security Xouncil refuses to condemn the Soviet’s action. Begging the question has the world lost its strength against the USSR? Even if the U.S. is the lone actor seeking action against Russia, the U.S. will act. The U.S. will stop at nothing to see communism fall and the USSR lose influence across the world.
