Hamas thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for his support as it released 25-year-old Russian-Israeli dual national Ron Krivoi from captivity on Sunday in a sign of the growing closeness in the relationship between Moscow and Hamas. Krivoi was among the hostages taken during the Hamas-led terrorist attack against Israel on October 7.

“In response to the efforts of Russian president Putin and in appreciation of the Russian position in support of the Palestinian cause, we released a detainee who holds Russian citizenship,” Hamas

Junk

They fought against them when we still thought they are our friends. In fact, they fought against them before there was a USA. Constantinople is their version of the Vatican (Eastern Orthodox). The Armenians and that genocide is well known in Russia as many live there. Chechnya is still in the memory today...

We play with radical islamists “far far” more than they do when it suits our needs may that be in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya our backing of the Wahabist movement...

Selective memory.

Hamas thanked Joe Biden for his funding and humanitarian aid and political kindness as it released family member of quid pro quo Hunter Biden art purchaser and only American to be released.

@bhweingarten
So you’re telling me that the great-aunt of the youngest American hostage — and first American — to be released by Hamas is a buyer of Hunter Biden’s art, who was then appointed by Joe Biden to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad?

Current Rooskie actions seem to make it clear that Pooty-Poot has forgotten all about Chechnya and adventures in Afghanistan.

Given the demographics in Russia, the musloids will have a mosque in place of the Kremlin one day. Poetic justice

There are already architectural drawings to add minarets to Saint Basil’s Cathedral.

Islam has been prominent in Russia for hundreds of years. The current moslem population of Russia is between 10% and 17%, depending on the source. And they are breeding like rabbits, while non-moslem Russians are not breeding much at all, and are in fact declining in number relative to moslems. By comparison, in the US the moslem population is no more than 1.5% (though Biden and the Democrats will want to increase that number).

We have made the mistake of making Russia an enemy again.

That brings us to the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" routine.

The Russians know full well how dangerous Hamas is, but since Hamas is our enemy, Russia and Hamas see each another as "friends" for the moment.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend.

It’s a game everyone on the world stage plays and we are probably the absolute worst low lives when it comes to that.

We have backed whack-jobs in Syria and Afghanistan, despots like Saddam, fueled the Wahhabist movement years ago (what OBL was part of). We tried to cuddle up with the Muslim Brotherhood under Morsi.

Saudi Arabia a major terrorist financier and where much of the most radical strains of Islam come from. Saudi Arabia is our ally and what our entire Middle East strategy is based around, with them we see, hear and speak no evil, just as with China where we also can’t see anything wrong as we tear our mouth open about “democracy, human rights and sovereignty” once again somewhere else. We backed the Arab-Spring and basically made it possible.

Regardless of ideology or what they have done, we are willing to arm and fund just about anyone, including neo Nazi types in Ukraine. If their interests coincide with ours “today,” we’re willing to arm, train, fund, provide intel, safe havens, and politically shield them. It’s that “today” aspect that comes to bite us in the rear, often. We fund folks that might serve a purpose today, but they hate us too, and tomorrow they will just as well cut our heads off.

Much of our rise to be this world empire we are today, is by pitting people against each other.
