“The Americans have 700 bases, we will only have a third: Tajikistan, Armenia, and now Syria. We need a few more bases there. And install powerful air defense systems. Iraq, Turkey, and Iran are already asking for them. If we tried to reach Europe through gas, then the Middle East through the sky. America guarantees the security of Western Europe, we must guarantee the security of the South,” a PolitNavigator correspondent quotes Zhirinovsky.
He also believes that Russia should negotiate with Iran on the creation of a naval base in the Persian Gulf.
“In Iran, we need naval bases in the Persian Gulf. This already means access to the Indian Ocean. Our fleet, which will be stationed there, can be called Indian. Our Russian Indian fleet. To go on an equal footing with the Americans,” Zhirinovsky said
