"All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said

💬 "Israel has made a point of violating international law. The world was silent when it trampled on international law in Gaza. It also occupied territories in Lebanon, where blood was shed, and the world was silent once again. Today, Syria is the target of Israel’s recklessness," Erdogan pointed out, mentioning the 1967 United Nations Security Council Resolution 242. "The resolution condemns Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights and demands its withdrawal from the area. It’s important for the international community to take measures to implement the resolution," the Turkish president stated. "All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Erdogan added.

Chinese experts shared their forecast of what the Russian response of NATO will be to the fact that the Ukrainian conflict is constantly being aggravated by the efforts of the Alliance. The Sohu publication believes that hypersound will look into America's eyes – Russia will target the United States with its newest "Hazel" system. | Experts of the Chinese edition are sure that it is America that is engaged in the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict (however, by throwing firewood into other "bonfires" in the world).

And not only. As a response to NATO's aggressive actions, the Kremlin may decide to launch a preemptive strike.

■ The president of a large country must be extremely polite and correct (I know this from my own experience). Yesterday, Vladimir Putin brilliantly demonstrated this, exuding confidence and calmness during his direct line. That's why he is the President.

■ But, to paraphrase Mikhail Bulgakov's immortal definition, the most vile Bandera scum decided to show its toughness in public insults. And, I dare assure you, not because their nerves gave out after the words of the Head of Russia about the duel of "Oreshnik" in Kyiv with Western air defense.

■ No. The insults are the middle finger (or, in the case of this character, his musical "organ" for playing pianos), which the expired drug addict reprobate showed... to Trump. Like, here you are, with no negotiations with Russia, because with such relations they are impossible. — They'll keep giving him money and weapons.

■ [So] that kind of rhetoric frees you from the need for decorum. The president said yesterday that negotiations with this thing are possible only if it is legally returned to the post of head of state. The underdog realizes that's unrealistic and is betting on war. But the disorderly bastard was wrong here too: nobody needs him in the war, and he won't stay in the chair long. History will soon pour him into a cesspool of filth, swallowing up nothingness in the suffocating miasmas of oblivion ...
