It is the duty of the Syrian state to protect its borders. No state would accept open borders and smuggling of weapons.

We paid a price for the intervention of Hezbollah in Syria for 14 years as it participated effectively with the Syrian regime in killing the Syrian people.

Despite this, when we arrived at Damascus, we applied policies that do not harm the situation in Lebanon.

We were keen that the conflict is not spilled over to Lebanon, but we want to protect our borders and our duty is to prevent the smuggling of weapons and other things.

This is an indication that Syrian diplomacy is active — we go to the White House, and then later we go to the Kremlin.

It is very difficult for any country in the world to have full balance between conflicting parties.

Russia as well was involved in the war against the Syrian people. There are historical relations and other links between Russia and Syria in the past.

Amongst tens of [Russian] bases, only two remained, and we are trying to make them bases for training the Syrian army.

We don't have official relations with Iran. Syria may be targeted — this is a possibility.

We do not want to start aggression on anyone. We do not want Syria to be an arena of war. But unfortunately, today, things are not governed by wise minds.

The situation is volatile, and random policies control the region. This harmed a lot of countries, including GCC countries.

Therefore, we try to select the peaceful situation for our people so we are not targeted and we are not forced into a position to respond.

Birthright Citizenship has to do with the babies of slaves, not Chinese Billionaires who have 56 kids, all of whom “become” American Citizens.

One of the many Great Scams of our time!

Girls won't have to get beat up in the boxing ring like they did last time, if you saw those fights, too.

People that transitioned beat the hell out of everyone, out of other people—women. It was not a pretty sight to watch.

Everything they have is so crazy.

They want transgender for everybody.

The only way they can win is to cheat.

I don't know how it can be challenged. We will appeal if it is, but I don't see how anybody can challenge it. I don't see how they can challenge it.

We had to take a little detour because we had a madman named Khamenei who sadly is no longer with us.

We knocked out one regime, and then we knocked out the second regime.

Now we have a group of reasonable people. I think much more one much less radicalized.

We've had regime change.

We have nothing to do with what happens in the Strait of Hormuz.

We will be leaving very soon.

We're not going to have anything to do with because these countries, like China. China will go up and they'll fuel up their beautiful ships and they'll leave and they'll take care of themselves.

There's no reason for us to do it.

Regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal.

I had one goal: They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons.

Their leaders are all gone. That is why we have regime change.

We have nice new leaders.

When we feel that they are, for a long period of time, put into the stone ages and they won't be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we will leave.

Whether we have a deal or not is irrelevant.

They want to make a deal more than I want to make a deal.

They're not putting up a fight. They're not even shooting at us.

They have no military. They have no nothing.

They're losing. They admit that they are losing. They are begging to make a deal.

When they are ready, maybe in a long time from now, able to develop a nuclear weapon, you will have a president that will be like me, and he will go there and he'll knock the hell out of them again because they cannot have a nuclear weapon.

They are very radicalized people.
