“We have to think about what we’re doing, and what we have to do is try to stop the suffering in Gaza … but for them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin’s message,” she said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see.”
“I think … some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere,” Pelosi said. “Some, I think, are connected to Russia. And I say that having looked at this for a long time now, as you know.”
This is undeniably accurate, from Pelosi: Foreign adversaries are absolutely amplifying a pro Gaza message.
Maybe you're sincere. Doesn't mean everyone you find agreeing with you isn't a flaming dumbass who got tricked by foreign manipulation.
Wouldn't he want the slaughter to be as bloody and longterm as possible? Israel is exposing the facade of the Western Rules-Based world order and the non-existence of international criminal law. Not only is the West not stopping their genocide, the West is actually funding and enabling it.
Which is good for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa - who all aspire to destroy western global institutions and replace them with substitutes that favor the non-western world. Which includes replacing the Dollar as the world's currency.
Given that, a cease-fire would be the worst thing for Putin. He should be hoping that Netanyahu carpet bombs Rafah into rubble. Although Israel blatantly violating such a ceasefire and then never being held accountable would also be a good result for Putin - and for Netanyahu, who needs to destroy liberal democratic rules in order to personally stay out of prison, same as Trump
You know if you don't want to look like a raging west bad cynic you might be more interested in not almost verbatim repeating the geopolitical opinions of Hitler's personal lawyer and legal theorist.
Also, pushing the ceasefire when it's obvious it won't happen is good for him because it demoralises the opposition to his allies in the western world making it more likely they'll fail to turn out against his known efforts to dismantle western democracy like he believes in some mirror world version of democratic peace theory and can't imagine that a dictatorial US wouldn't be waaaaaaay more likely to be coming for his throat.
I doubt it's about that. Putin wants a friendly administration in the White House that would reduce/eliminate sanctions, stop supporting Ukraine, and look the other way when Russia grabs more land.
Gaza is one of the areas where Biden is the weakest, and Putin is surely doing everything in his power to make Gaza an issue that loses Biden votes.
Well, those are your feelings based on shallow knowledge and speculation.
The intelligence and diplomatic corps of the western world do not agree with your take that there's a genocide going on and that Israel is responsible for it. Hamas is putting these people in harm's way. Every dead body in Gaza rests at the feet of Hamas. They could come out of their tunnels and surrender tomorrow and there will not be one more dead body in Gaza. Instead, they tell people, their own families and children, that the evacuation warnings are a hoax and that they should stay inside buildings that are built right on top of tunnels to die as proud martyrs. They have it all set up for Al Jazeera to come in and take a bunch of pictures of all the bodies and point the finger at Israel. It is Hamas that wants the war to be as long as bloody as possible, as that is their only strategy: using crocodile tears and fake sympathy for "martyrs" to trick soft westerners be so sad about 35,000 dead as to side with violent pan-Islamist nationalists and Iran against their own elected governments.
Russians want a ceasefire for the same reason Iran wants one, because they want Iran to be able to have a proxy that shares miles of border with America's proxy. That's it. Not complicated. It's strategic planning for what those dumbasses think will be open war between their modern Axis of Evil and the West.
The future is in representative government and democracy, not insane religious nonsense that one guy can change on a whim. No legitimate human rights can arise from such governance.
