The US and Israeli operation against Iran showed that the United States is vulnerable and will not be able to cope with China. Alyaksandr Lukashenka shared this view with CSTO Secretary General Taalatbek Masadykov during today’s meeting.
Lukashenka stressed that issues related to the military build-up and other problems should be resolved peacefully.
“All these and other issues must be resolved peacefully, understanding that none of us will receive help from anyone if we do not help ourselves.
You can see how the world is developing. It is unclear in what direction it will continue to develop and how international relations will be structured. The position of the United States and the West as a whole has now been completely exposed. And thank God Trump has exposed the situation, and we now understand where ‘human rights’ are, where ‘democracy’ is and where all the other issues are… We must draw the appropriate conclusions from what has happened. Especially regarding Iran,” he said.
According to Lukashenka, the CSTO should draw conclusions from this campaign.
“This is a powerful country with great traditions. And the most dangerous thing for the United States today is that the Americans have shown their vulnerability. Their main enemy, as they always said, was China. But today even the Americans understand that they will never cope with the Chinese. Never. And the situation in Iran demonstrates this,” Lukashenka said.
He believes that is why the war against Iran must be brought to an end. This time, his advice also applies to Israel. On Friday, he said that he had advised US President Donald Trump to leave Israel one-on-one with Iran.
“The Israelis also need to think about not rolling up their sleeves and showing their eagerness,” Lukashenka added.
“There is no country that could defeat Iran. It is a very geographically complex country, and the population is very determined and ready to die for its land. Persia — that says it all. We know the history of this country very well. That is why it must end,” he said.
During the meeting, Lukashenka also assessed whether Kyrgyzstan would help him in the event of a conflict involving Belarus and suggested organising a meeting with Armenia’s leadership.
