If there’s one thing the Ukraine War should have taught everyone, it’s that you can never expect ideological consistency from Russia’s government or Russian propaganda. Russia’s foreign policy is purely transactional.
It's not even transactional, it's embarrassing. Like the people leading the place
Same objectives, speedrunning warcrimes and every form of genocide.
If what he is saying is that Russia wants the land known as Ukraine and Israel wants the land known as Gaza; I agree, Russia and Israel have similar goals.
Two weeks now and the numbers of reported Palestinians death in these news articles is 21000.. along with injuries and lack of water, shelter, food, and many diseases.
About what, genocide? You might be onto something there, Sergey.
About as expected, sadly Russia and China likes doing both sides on Palestine. Infinitely better than what Brandon and the west are doing but still, L.
Like, Hamas leadership (and PLO in the 90s) has visited Russia on multiple occasions, so clearly the relations are alright. I do think part of Lavrov's rhetoric mentioned in this article is just diplomatic nonsense.
I so miss the USSR
I wouldn't count out the pressure of dual citizens and interest groups too, it's not like the US is the only place that has an Israel lobby, Russian is spoken by around 1/5 people in Israel, although some of that 20% would also account for Russian speakers originally from other parts of the USSR, that is still a very substantial connection.
