Russia's general ready to join Iran's war - Break The Fake - TVP WORLD [View all]



Russian general Apti Alaudinov sparked controversy after calling Donald Trump the "antichrist" and declaring he is ready to fight on Iran's side. The statement reflects growing rhetoric in Moscow about supporting its allies in the Middle East. At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov struck a more cautious tone, saying sanctions against the United States are not "Russian methods". Join Diana Skaya in a new episode of Break The Fake where she examines dramatic military rhetoric on one side and careful diplomatic statements on the other. With Russia already locked in a long war in Ukraine, the question remains: are these statements part of real strategy, or simply political signaling?
