“The head of the Foreign Ministry said Russia has no intention of deploying its military to the Middle East or North Africa, where social and political crisis is rampant, opting instead to work diplomatically with legitimate governments. ‘This is my answer to those who wonder why we are not fighting for our positions,’ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on the ‘Sunday Night with Solovyov’ program. ‘We will not be fighting for our positions…and creating ‘another Afghanistan’ for ourselves. Never, under no circumstances!’ Lavrov was referring to the Soviet experience in Afghanistan (1979-1989), which is being played out in similar fashion today by the United States.”
