Ignoring Russia’s crimes, Lavrov criticizes Washington’s military campaigns in several countries, including Syria

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov compared the US military campaign in Afghanistan with what he called “Western interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria”, considering that all of them did not lead to anything good.

This came during a joint press conference with his Austrian counterpart Alexander Schallenberg on Wednesday, and he talked about “the conclusions that the United States can draw from what eventually happened in Afghanistan,” noting that “perhaps the most important conclusion is that there is no need to teach life to anyone. Especially to force him (to) by force.”Lavrov referred to the examples of Iraq, Libya and Syria, where “the Americans wanted to force everyone to live in the way they saw fit.”

Lavrov continued: “I named 4 military campaigns that did not lead to anything good, only an explosion of terrorism and sometimes drug smuggling occurred, and the flows of illegal immigrants filled Europe immediately after NATO destroyed the Libyan state with raids.”

While Lavrov did not address his country’s intervention in Syria, and the killing and intimidation of the Syrian people and their policy of killing and intimidating the Syrian people and their displacement from their homes, in addition to the destruction of cities and every life in them, through experimenting with various types of internationally prohibited weapons in bombing populated areas.
