| Putin is a bizarre man for sure 22:33 - Oct 26 with 4719 views | KeithHaynes | Telegraph : Vladimir Putin sought to intervene in the Middle Eastern conflict on Thursday by inviting senior Hamas and Iranian leaders to Moscow. In a move condemned by Israel as an “obscene step” that “gives support to terrorism”, Russian officials met with the terror group who praised them for taking an “active role” in the war. Ali Bagheri Kani, the deputy foreign minister of Iran, the main foreign sponsor of Hamas, was also in Moscow for talks. The developments have raised concern in the West that Russia has formed an “axis of terror” with Hamas, mediated by Iran. Hamas praised Putin personally for his “stance” on the conflict and “acknowledged the active role of Russian diplomacy” in talks over “the recent Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and strategies to halt the Israeli crimes”. A photograph released by Hamas showed Bassem Naeem, its head of international relations, and Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior member of the Hamas politburo, in a meeting with Mikhail Bogdanov, Putin’s special envoy in the Middle East. Western observers said the meetings suggested Putin had abandoned his long-standing alliance with Israel in favour of closer ties with Iran and its Islamist allies, who carried out the Oct 7 terror attacks on Israel and have stepped up a bombing campaign on American troops in the wider Middle East. The UK has sent RAF and Royal Navy resources to the region to bolster security efforts by the US, which has two aircraft carriers near Israel’s shores. EU leaders on Thursday called for “humanitarian corridors and pauses” to get aid into Gaza, after hours of negotiations at a summit of the bloc in Brussels.

Massive displays of weapons,tanks and men all marching in perfect harmony Adoring crowd reflecting on how Russia was feared throughout the world and stood up to the Americans who allowed their people to be free to speak and go where they wanted . all those countries in the east hanging on to the pinnies of the mother State . The glorious protection of people in Berlin,Prague and Budapest and the way dissidents were put down without mercy. Pity about those Solidarity bustaryrds in Gdansk. |
