Q: Do you actually need the EU?

Serbia's Vučić: We are on the European path, don't knock us off it.

So far, we have successfully preserved the values of our traditional society.

We are the only country in Europe that has not introduced sanctions against Russia, and we will not introduce any sanctions against the Russian Federation.

Serbia's Vučić:

Do you think it's easy for us, as a militarily neutral country, when we're surrounded by NATO countries?

Only Bosnia and Herzegovina is not in NATO, and that's only because Republika Srpska is there.

Our entire surroundings are NATO. That's why we're arming ourselves.

We are the only truly neutral country. Austria is formally neutral, but we are genuinely neutral.

And we have to defend ourselves. We know how small our country is. And yet we are like a thorn in everyone's eye.

Serbia's Vučić on Russia:

When people started saying that Putin was bluffing about the use of nuclear weapons, I told everyone in the West: Putin is not bluffing at all.

Of course, he doesn't want to use them just like that. Nobody is crazy.

But in the event of a direct attack from outside — from America, Europe or Britain, whoever you like — he will respond with nuclear weapons that very second.

Many people believe it won't happen, that NATO is stronger than Russia.

If you really think that he won't use nuclear weapons under any circumstances, then that is a huge error of judgment.

Serbia's Vučić on the possibility of World War III:

If you don't see how Europe is arming itself, then you're simply pretending not to see it. Why is it arming itself? For what purpose?

It's like in Chekhov's plays: if a gun is hanging on the wall in the first act, it will fire in the third.

The Germans have made extraordinary progress in this industry. They have increased their profits 17 times. Not by 17%, but 17 times.

Europe, saying that it must defend itself against Russia and think about its future, is rearming on a dramatic scale.

If someone doesn't see that, I don't know what to say. It's so obvious. They're boasting about it.

Serbia's Vučić on the possibility of World War III:

It will be a miracle if it doesn't begin.

I would be the happiest man in the world if I were wrong. But I'm afraid I'm not wrong.

Serbia's Vučić on Trump:

Trump asked me: "Do you also have problems with the Chinese, like all of us?"

I said: "No, I have no problems with the Chinese."

He said: "That's impossible."

I said: "It is possible. I have absolutely no problems with them."

And then I realized that perhaps I'd gone a little too far.

Netanyahu on Türkiye:

I don't want a confrontation with Türkiye. Türkiye wants a confrontation with us. Erdogan says that Israel should be destroyed, that Jerusalem is their city.

He thinks he'll come back to the Ottoman Empire. He forgets there's a country here that we've been attached to for over 3,000 years.

We're not in the 16th century when the Ottomans took over here and ruled it for 400 years.

There's this power here. It's called the Jewish state in the Jewish homeland.

Netanyahu on Iran:

Every American city could be hit by these lunatics.

Trump is like me. He understands that this is a danger that must be removed.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf after meeting Pakistan’s Army Chief:

We have nothing new to say to Washington.

It cannot win Iran’s trust except by implementing our seven conditions.

Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council:

Not a single particle of enriched nuclear material will leave Iran under any circumstances.

Iran's IRGC says a supertanker carrying over 2 million barrels of crude oil exploded and caught fire after striking a naval mine south of the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC said the vessel had switched off its radar and navigation systems and ignored warnings.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:

The West will never again be the main player ‘calling the tune.’

The world has turned in a different direction.

Q: Going forward, what kind of preemptive strikes might we see? You've spoken about the possibility of war with Türkiye recently.

Netanyahu: No, no.

Netanyahu on Biden:

Biden wasn't an enemy of Israel, but he was succumbing to the pressures inside the Democratic Party.

Even though I think his basic gut was in a different place, but he succumbed to it.

Netanyahu on Türkiye:

I don't seek confrontation [with Türkiye], but I don't shy away from it when Israel's security needs require it.

Q: Can I turn your attention to Europe for a moment?

Netanyahu: The lost continent.

Netanyahu:

We have to be independent as much as we can so nobody can blackmail us.

Arms independence. Energy independence. We got the gas out of the water.

Q: You would block the creation of a Palestinian state?

Netanyahu: I have been blocking it.

Q: And you will commit to continuing to block it?

Netanyahu: We cannot have a Palestinian state because that's the end of a Jewish state. We have to be crazy to do it.

Zelensky:

Of course, we are not losing this war, but we're losing people and time.

It's a pity because our children don't have a real childhood.

Trump:

I have spent, or will be spending, over 400 Million Dollars by Election Day.
