The United States, the United Kingdom, and Algeria. What are they doing?
Only a minute passed, and yet Algeria has received notes from multiple countries. Communicating with the most powerful countries in the world, the same ones that have the power to veto. Although Algeria is not known for having power or money, the delegate is constantly teaming up with the most powerful countries in the world.
Sierra Leone, a small country on the west coast of Africa, and yet very popular in this committee. Multiple notes were passed to the delegate; multiple people wanted to talk to this small country. Does the delegate of Sierra Leone have something that the other delegates want?
Every speech and the United States sends a note, every speech, the page has to run across the room… until Russia. The room goes silent when Russia goes up, each delegate anticipating how Russia will paint the story of the Russia-Ukraine war. Russia ended its speech with “Russia is ready for peace, but is the house ready?”. Silence plagued the room. Each delegate had a mixture of reactions: stunned, shocked, agitated.
Notes were passed around the room. Everyone got a note, everyone was teaming up. The house was forming two groups. For and against Russia.
The United States comes up to make a speech, without a computer, without notes. Ready to rebut Russia's claims; claims that made the US seem hypocritical. The United States replies to Russia, stating that everything Russia said was untrue. How Russia is making themself a victim and changing the real story.
