Very interesting. I used to watch him speak at the UN on youtube back in the day with subtitles and was surprised how much conviction he had in his speech.

Joke is on him as the UN destroyed Libya<p>The same arguments were also used by EU&#x2F;UK&#x2F;USA to carve Africa and the middle east, and still recently were used in Iraq with shia vs sunnis, Turkey and Syria with kurdish population differences.<p>Seeing Africa and the Middle East, constantly being invaded, carved, and with new terrorist groups supported by USA&#x2F;UK&#x2F;France&#x2F;Russia, and ultimately Libya destroyed, make his speeches not as crazy.<p>On his last UN speeches he claimed that rich people was creating virus and selling the antidote<p>&quot;Today there is swine flu. Perhaps tomorrow there will be fish flu, because sometimes we produce viruses by controlling them. It is a commercial business. Capitalist companies produce viruses so that they can generate and sell vaccinations. That is very shameful and poor ethics. Vaccinations and medicine should not be sold&quot;
