Russian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: "The practice of
delivering arbitrary airstrikes against a sovereign state should be ruled out. The
escalation of hostilities in the region is not in line with the interests of
Middle East states, including Israel."
So according to Maria
Zakharova, not preventing Iran, whose Brig. Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh just stated that Iran’s young airmen were prepared for the day when Israel will be
destroyed, from entrenching itself on Israel’s border is actually in line
with Israel’s interests!?
Following this logic, the
Soviet invasion of eastern Poland,1939, Finland,1939, Baltic states, 1940,
Czechoslovak coup d’etat and the defenestration of Jan Masaryk, 1948, invasion
of Hungary, 1956, Czechoslovakia,1968, Afghanistan,1979, and Russian invasion
of Georgia, 2008, and Ukraine, 2014, had all been in the interests of these
respective invaded sovereign states.
When it comes to Russia, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
