I think there's no question that a nuclear-armed Iran would bring stability to the region, because nuclear weapons are weapons of peace. They're weapons of deterrence.

In fact, as soon as it declared independence, Ukraine should have been quietly encouraged to fashion its own nuclear deterrent.

Europe doesn't matter anymore. You know, Europe is basically a giant museum.

Had the United States and its allies not moved to bring Ukraine into NATO in April 2008 ... there probably would be no war in Ukraine today... The West made a colossal blunder, which it and many others are not done paying for.

These are two war criminals [Trump and Netanyahu]. These are two people who are responsible for a genocide. If we were to have Nuremberg Two trials, both of them would be found guilty and probably hung. ['Hanged' is the correct word.]

I am not arguing that Iran does not cause any trouble in the Middle East but the country that is principally responsible for the trouble in the Middle East is not Iran. It is Israel.

Putin will always win in a geopolitics fight against the West because he’s miles ahead of them. Not necessarily because Putin is a genius, but that the U.S. is EXTREMELY DUMB.



He has said that the scale of “murder and mayhem” caused by US interventions is “unbelievable”, pointing to the long history of wars, regime-change operations, and military actions. This is certainly true.

He said of Israel that if a nation cannot preserve its sovereignty without the support of another country it does not deserve to be sovereign, or something like that, but I cannot find the quotation.
