As to Russia's support of Hamas, I haven't seen any official statements by the Kremlin so far and I have limited access to Russian media but some sources claim that Russians are ridiculing Israel's defensive efforts and are happy to distract US's attention from Ukraine. Iran-backed Hamas seems to get more support from Russia for political reasons.

Russia does not support Hamas, although it does not classify it as a terrorist organization and considers the leaders of its political wing to be legitimate partners for negotiations (at the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Hamas spun off in 1987, is considered a terrorist organization in Russia). It can be assumed that Russia's sympathies are on the side of the Palestinian people, but there is no need to draw far-reaching political conclusions from this.

Russia is a multinational secular state and any radical religious manifestations are unacceptable for it.

Hamas visited the Kremlin several times to discuss the current operation. Russia was involved, and so was Iran.

Ismail Haniyeh met with Lavrov in Sept. 2022 to discuss a high-level plan for this current distraction.

Saleh Al-Arouri met with Lavrov and the RF military in March 2023 to finalize the details.

Google it first before you open your mouth.

How is that May 9th, 2022 victory parade in Kyiv coming along? Still dreaming about it?

Currently, Chuck Schumer, leader of the Democratic majority in the US Senate, is on an official visit to China; yesterday he met with Xi. Came to arrange for Xi to visit San Francisco in November. Relatively recently, Blinken also was in China. By your logic, does this mean that China supports the US and that the US supports China?

Russia does not support either side of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but has diplomatic contacts with representatives of both sides. This is normal. When Zelensky wants to end the conflict with Russia, taking into account the real state of affairs, Russia will be ready to listen to him carefully. Or does Ukraine still hope to win? Grin

Sure, except for the fact that Wagner PMC trained Hamas fighters in Africa on how to use drones to drop small bombs on the enemy.
Where did they learn it?

Hamas and Hezbollah will be destroyed in a matter of weeks.

Israel just destroyed Hezbollah camps in Egypt and Lebanon. The US deployed special forces today to clean up the remaining Hezbollah fighters on Israel's northern border.

Russia is going to get it. Trust me. Americans are pissed as fuck for Iran's and Russia's involvement.

Expect hell to break loose.

BTW, nobody will be doing any negotiations with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or Russia. The time for talking is over.

Muahaha... you are delusional! Remember what happened in Afghanistan? They can't even defeat a bunch of Afghans armed with sticks and stones and you're talking about a nuclear superpower? Grin

Meanwhile, a US aircraft carrier strike group has arrived in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The Pentagon had previously announced that it was moving the carrier Gerald R Ford to Israel to reassure Israelis.

A statement by Gen Michael “Erik” Kurilla of the US central command said:

The arrival of these highly capable forces to the region is a strong signal of deterrence should any actor hostile to Israel consider trying to take advantage of this situation.

I think I would rather give credit to the Taliban than demeaning the capabilities of USA to achieve their objectives. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was something many were demanding in USA and it was becoming a taxing war which the people was not willing to continue to fund, specially since there was no apparent will of the previous Afghanistan government to secure themselves from Taliban.

It must be said that weapons of mass destruction as those held by United States and other superpowers around the world may not be effective against guerrilla combatants, if anything was taught by the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was their effectiveness against civil settlements and innocent population.
