In general, I think that war is inevitable. I agree that this is an attempt to create a bipolar world. After the hardest defeat in Afghanistan, after all, it is obvious that this is a defeat, the Americans must somehow restore their military authority. the only option I see is the use of nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear country. Obviously, Iran is the most convenient and safest target for this. I hope I'm wrong, but how else can they restore their military credibility?

Marsali started to parry, but stopped short. At thirty, Fergus was not much taller than her, but there was some kind of inner strength in his words, forcing at critical moments to listen to his advice, which then turned into orders. This made him look stronger and more significant.

The West would like to exclude from the process of working out global solutions those who have their own, different point of view. Fresh example. The idea of convening a democracy summit put forward by the US administration. The participants, of course, will be determined by Washington itself, arrogating to itself the right to determine the degree of compliance of a country with democratic standards. In fact, this initiative is quite in the spirit of the Cold War, proclaiming a new ideological crusade against all dissent. Moreover, this line is being pursued against the background of Biden's speeches and words that the United States does not want the division of the world into opposing blocs. In fact, the summit of democracy will become a step towards the split of the world community into friends and foes. It is also significant that while declaring the priority of democracy in its relations with any partners, Washington is concerned exclusively with the situation within the respective countries. As soon as it comes to the establishment of democracy in the field of international relations, the United States, and all its allies, lose interest in the conversation. Nobody, they say, can infringe on the authority of NATO and the European Union. These are the rules.

Of course the world is changing. And the UN must match this natural transformation. Russia, on the basis of a broad consensus, is ready for this work on the further development of the UN with all partners. But we consider attempts to undermine the authority and legitimacy of the UN as extremely dangerous. This can lead to the collapse of the entire architecture of international relations. Then we really won't have any rules, except for the right of the strong. It will be a world in which, instead of collective work, selfishness will dominate, a world in which there will be more and more dictatorship and less and less equality, less real democracy and freedom, a world in which, instead of truly independent states, the number of de facto protectorates ruled from outside will multiply. territories. After all, what is state sovereignty? This is primarily a question of freedom. Free choice of your own destiny for each person. For the people, for the state.

With quotes, you can start and end your speech.

The speaker is always an authority. He does not ask, but asserts.

Truth lives only in an open soul, and authority only in clean lips.

The one who really has authority is not afraid to admit his mistake.

The stupid government seeks not to undermine its authority, and, at the same time, undermines the well-being of its citizens.

Not recognizing authority, madam, is a particularly desperate search for authority. Each of us needs discipline and a steady hand. Therefore, not recognizing authority is a particularly desperate desire to find authority for oneself.

Do you know what a leader should do? Overcome difficulties, resolve conflicts within the family, suppress all attempts to undermine your authority.

The link between power and growth is two-way. Not only do we perceive higher people as more powerful, we think powerful people are higher than they really are: once people gain a position of power or authority, they "grow" in status.

Rise slowly and make a difference when you are in power.
