Cuban Missile Crisis Role Play

Mr. Zorin, I can hardly begin to withhold my outrage at the ludicrous claims that you are making in front of this great assembly. Mr. Zorin argues that the US has always been against Cuba, however let us remind Mr. Zorin which country it was that helped liberate Cuba from its imperial oppressors to begin with. When Cuba needed support, it was not a Soviet ship, it was not a USSR ship, it was an American ship that came to its aid. In his further attempts to dupe this assembly, Mr. Zorin would like to put the wool over your eyes so that you all may ignore the time where the US was willing to come to Russia's aid when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Let us not forget it was the Soviet Nation that abstained from entering World War II along with the Allied Powers until it finally saw the error of its ways, until it finally was duped and tricked by Nazi Germany, until it finally needed the economic support of the United States. Mr. Zorin implies that we wish to murder Fidel Castro in cold blood, the very nerve of this statement shows the ignorance with which Mr. Zorin holds international affairs. Not only has the United Sates been willing to allow this communist influence next to our soil, our land, our people. The United States has allowed the communist party within our own country to exist so that we may show our intentions at peace. How does the USSR wish to repay us? How do the Soviets wish to repay us? How do the Communists wish to repay us? They try to corrupt the politics of our very own government, they order their political party that we allow to exist, to cause dissent! They try to pervert the standing of the United States in the international community! They threaten our very own soil by showing their belligerent attitudes as they place missiles next to our soil! A naval blockade of such a grave threat to our country can only be the beginning of a more progressively hostile response to forced Soviet aggression. Now, what else does Mr. Zorin wish to say to us? He wishes that we all forget history, and pretend that a small nation can not pose a major threat to the world. However! Let us remind Mr. Zorin of Nazi Germany, which arose out of the ashes of the Germany of World War I. A small nation that was bound foot and hand by chains in the form of the Treaty of Versailles. Yet, did that small nation not arise again? Did that small nation not conquer most of Europe? Did that small nation not pose a threat to the greatest countries in the world? Yet, Mr. Zorin would wish us to sweep Cuba as a primitive nation, a backward nation, a small nation, and that we should ignore, can you believe it ignore, the threat to our people and our posterity by the Soviet nation. Mr. Zorin wishes to argue international law, let us remind Mr. Zorin there is a difference from Cuba owning weapons of destruction and the Soviet Nation deliberately supplies and arming Cuba right next to our territory. The Soviet Union is effectively transforming Cuba into a Soviet military base, and the United States will not stand for such hostile aggression. We know our rights Mr. Zorin, we have the right to self defense, we have the right to protect our people from hostile action, and we have the right to monitor a country that is deliberately showing aggression to our nation. Mr. Zorin would like to act as if the defensive weaponry of the United Sates is the hand of imperial Capitalism sweeping in on the Soviet nation, however what need would there be for such weapons were it not for hostile Soviet aggression Mr. Zorin? Your leadership constantly hammering at our country, your leadership spreading its propaganda into our country, your leadership deliberately acting belligerent in the face of a tense nuclear era. The United States and the United Nations Mr. Zorin are not foolish children that you may sway with your silver tongue. Rather we know what is best for the community Mr. Zorin, and we advise the Soviets learn what is best as well. May this humble assembly remember that the United States has always been there to help defend against aggressive action by the most tyrannical of leaders, and may this humble assembly remember that the United States will continue to help defend the international community from the most egregious violators of human rights. We wish to offer the olive branch one more time to Mr. Zorin and to the Soviet Union so that we may not engage in another costly and horrendous war. Mr. Zorin the United States is willing to negotiate the disarming of missiles aimed at the Soviet Nation, but not until the Soviet Nation agrees to withdraw its nuclear ambitions from the western hemisphere. Mr. Zorin, I hope that you soon remove the hooded veil from your eyes and embrace the peace and stability that this international community, that the United States, that the "imperial capitalists" wish to offer you. The United States is willing to share the economic sphere, but not with aggressive terrorists who wish to challenge the fabrics of peace that soldiers fought two world wars to establish.
