"On Point"
MINSK, 24 June (BelTA) – The U.S. strike on Iran showed that this Middle Eastern country, which was perceived as part of the 'third world', is no longer so, national security expert Aleksandr Tishchenko said in a new episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA's YouTube channel.
“The American strike on Iran does not mean that America is strong, it means that Iran is not weak. Another fact proving this point is that after the strike, America started bracing up for something unpleasant, warning everyone and everything about repercussions. This suggests that the 'third world' is not as silent, not as weak and not as third as the West would like it to be. And this elicits the feeling of respect, rather than fear,” said Aleksandr Tishchenko.
