The Kremlin's propaganda machine will likely use the conflict in Israel to undermine the West's support for Ukraine: ISW
"These Kremlin narratives target Western audiences to drive a wedge in military support for Ukraine," said the Institute for the Study of War.
The Institute for the Study of War says Russia's propaganda machine will likely use the conflict in Israel to erode the West's support for Ukraine.
"The Kremlin is already and will likely continue to exploit the Hamas attacks in Israel to advance several information operations intended to reduce US and Western support and attention to Ukraine," wrote the Washington-based think tank on Saturday.
The ISW wrote in its report that after the Hamas attacks on Saturday, the Kremlin amplified information campaigns that accused the West of ignoring Middle East conflicts to support Ukraine. These campaigns also pushed the message that global attention — in particular, resources from the West — would shift from Ukraine to the Middle East.
The institute cited examples like Russian TV host Sergey Mardan stating in his Telegram channel that the West "will take its mind off Ukraine for a while and get busy once again putting out the eternal fire in the Middle East."
You're viewing a single thread.
Iran supports Hamas and Iran is also collaborating with Russia. Just saying.
takes off tin foil hat.
Don't need much tinfoil to get to that conclusion.
Yeah I mean they've been very public about their support and collaboration.
yup there is no way Ukraine can win now. All Russia has to do is needle the Republicans that US doesnt have the money for war on two fronts. US is screwed. Ukraine is screwed. Russia has basically won. Which means oil prices at $500 per barrel, and interest rates over 20% p.a. Humanity is fucked.
I'm so happy the internet allows us to read other people's dumb takes.
Bro, turn off your phone and go have a wank or something.
You seem like a glass half full kind of person.
Better not to ask what’s on that glass.
Too bad it’s a glass half full of their own piss (they already drank the other half before typing)
↕ Poe's law in action
Also Russia‘s propaganda campaign on this started pretty much immediately.
Yeah, there's a lot of well timed stuff going on right now, especially in Africa, that seems like russia is stirring the pot to distract from their attack on Ukraine. It's not gonna work, but it's unsettling how they are willing to harm so many people, even after almost everyone condemned what they have done before. One would assume they would think twice, but no.
They're able to stir them up as you say because the current colonial managers of those regions interfere to the detriment of the natives already. So funnily enough Wagner or some other org is able to give them better deals.
Dividing NATO's resources on another front is a very likely strategy. It could also just be that, with their stockpiles depleted, the Palestinians decided it was a good moment to strike.
