Belarusian President Lukashenko Says US May Use Conflict In The Middle East To Start World War III

JAKARTA - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko warned the United States might use conflict in the Middle East to start a new world war.

"Perhaps, they may use the conflict situation in the Middle East to trigger a new world war. They are ready to act so far," the Betta news agency quoted President Lukashenko as saying in a meeting with the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) interior minister.

Under current President Joe Biden, the policies of Uncle Sam's country in the world appear to have been regulated somehow, said Lukashenko.

"It has been determined: they are friends and they are enemies, this one is the child of..., but it belongs to us, and that one is the enemy," he said.

"If the regime changes, it will be like in Afghanistan. It will be exactly like in Afghanistan. Not for the first time. They need to launch a kind of war for regime change," he said.

However, President Lukashenko stressed that he was not involved in propaganda against the US or several traditional allies of other CIS countries.

"You have to be friendly to everyone and build relationships with anyone who wants them. However, don't waste what we've created in recent years," he said.

"It really depends on us - law enforcement. A lot of things depend on us. This thought comes to my mind on the way to this meeting," added President Lukashenko.
