Good interview and it is definitely the prevailing view in Russia, amongst the government and her people. Russia is speaking the truth about the western world and while she wants to do business still with the west, she knows that the west can not be trusted…
I agree a 100% with him and his assessments of the situation of the world over the last few years and America/West involvement in its turmoil…
Sit with a cup of coffee or tea and have a read…
Yevgeny Primakov interview with TASS:
– The Ukrainian crisis has distracted attention from the Syrian conflict, but the hostilities are going on. Do you share optimism regarding Bashar Assad’s chances of staying in power?
– The growing activity of the terrorist organization calling itself the Islamic State, possibly, the most radical terrorist organization of all, is the main threat to everybody. Indiscriminate US support for the ISIL and forces opposed to Bashar Assad was the indisputable prerequisite for its successes. The results of that short-sighted policy are deplorable. It remains to be seen whether the US course aimed at overthrowing the existing regime in Syria will continue. But isn’t it clear that instead of Bashar Assad, whose policy has proved very constructive in many respects, including the elimination of chemical weapons, will be replaced by the ISIL?
– How do you see Russia’s stance on Libya? Do you believe that staying aloof from the events of 2010-2011 was a strategic mistake?
– We have never stayed aloof from the events in Libya. We invariably pressed for non-intervention in that country’s affairs. It is an entirely different matter that the US “partners” have in fact deceived us, when they persuaded us not to veto the UN Security Council resolution that established a no-fly zone over Libya to ward of the risk Libyan warplanes might bomb civilians. Pretty soon the underlying reasons that the United States and its European allies had had in mind rose to the surface. The bombardments that followed were targeted against the Muamar Gaddafi regime. The effects of that are clear to the naked eye. Libya has been plunged in chaos and its territory torn apart. It is good that we avoided succumbing to deceit again and vetoed all UN Security Council’s resolutions that had been proposed with the aim of overthrowing Syria’s constitutional regime.
