We said that each time a country is liberated it is a defeat for the world imperialist system.

Arms cannot be regarded as merchandise in our world. They should be delivered to the peoples asking for them for use against the common enemy without any charge at all, and in quantities determined by the need and their availability.

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.
