It is with this sentiment that Czechoslovakia was convinced and believed that socialism should be embraced, the Yugoslav delegate felt that the Czechoslovak people are intelligent enough to adopt capitalism, stating that they “just want to bring peace in Europe”
On the other hand, when discussing the troops that invaded Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia seemed to be furious with Poland, claiming that “Guys who listen to Moscow don’t want to redraw the army”, effectively calling out their hypocrisy.
In addition, Hungary, in a statement to all member states, requested that they examine a so-called “mutual commitment,” which implied that national sovereignty should be maintained, a point with which Romania agreed. The United States of America agreed and responded by stating that no country should be forcefully attacked, and requested withdrawal from Czechoslovakia. Hungary and Albania were also in agreement with the USA, implying that troops should return to their homeland. In reply, the USSR stated that ‘invading is the best way to make peace’ and that ‘is in fact legal to interfere’, a claim with which the USA wholeheartedly disagrees.
Suddenly, the Chinese delegate decided to make an appearance in the meeting, and after being kidnapped and re-entering, opted for a rather… interesting speech. Replying to said speech, the UK asked if the delegate had consumed any ‘substances’ before the meeting, to which China responded negatively. Going on, China stated that they’re an updated, better version of Mao Zedong who now is the son, the father, the holy ghost, and God all together. Because he declared himself an atheist prior, this was a definitely interesting statement. Surprisingly, what we thought was Mao Zedong turned out to be a Taiwanese imposter. Fear spread throughout the countries as a result of the shocking news, and spies were dispatched. Although most of the countries voted for Mao to be executed, the US voted against, wanting the imposter alive. The question of why remains unanswered.
But the question that sparked the most debate across the countries was how he should die.Yugoslavia suggested that he should be executed at dawn, other countries suggested interrogation, but instead, he got hit in the head with a gavel, resulting in his death right in front of the countries.
All in all, the committee session was dynamic and greatly interesting.
