New information has been brought to light in the Security Council by spies! If the information is considered valid, detrimental consequences for the US will ensue. Cyber attacks and military action have been made by the US, and the state of global peace has been threatened by various nations.

The Security Council has gone into session to discuss the situation of the South China Sea; for thousands of years, the region has been disputed by international powers due to its profitability because of oil reserves, and its being a pathway for various connections and trade trails between countries. The nation of China has expressed that they believe that they have a right to the sea, and they have expressed this by placing troops in the area various times. Additionally, a new piece of information has come to light: a previously undiscovered piece of the South China Sea, that contains plentiful resources, such as oil reserves, has been coveted by various nations. The main countries that have involved themselves are China, Benin, Taiwan, Thailand and the US! All are aiming to take a piece of the resources present, and have threatened military action if their will is not accepted. Another aspect of this info includes a cyber-attack on Chinese naval technology, rendering the nation unable to communicate when at sea.

The information has been revealed by Russian spies who were put on the task. But one can only wonder about the validity of the statements made, since Russia is a firm ally of China, and will bend any truths given to oppose the US. The breach of privacy has raised concern in the international community, and the validity of the claims put forward is being investigated.

The US has already sent troops to the unknown region, breaking their previous promise of demilitarization. The nation considers itself the “most suitable to administer the extraction of oil”, and it could be said that the US is only militarizing the region to ensure its national security. Various nations, some allied and some long-term enemies found themselves seeking the ownership of the oil reserves, and since the US has the most military prowess from all of the nations currently present in the committee, it can be trusted with handling the situation.

The situation that has unraveled in the Security Council has brought valid concerns to the international community. Will the tide of war strike the US and China? Or will the countries be able to settle their differences and solve the dispute peacefully?
