    Ignoring the fact that he is not really a role model and a war criminal, he has a right in this particular case.

    What we have is a huge problem that no one wants to solve. And bombing the shit out of Palestine would only radicalize its population.

    By the end of this conflict the number of civilian casualties would be much bigger and a lot of people on both sides would get pushed more to the right.

    I can imagine that hate crimes on racial and religious ground would intensify greatly in the months after, and finding a solution and a path for reconciliation to become even more illusory.

    Just when you though he had already doomed Russia enough. Ok broski. Go ahead. Get entangled in the middle east AGAIN like the foreign imperialist meddler you always have been and still are. Imperialism goes to the middle east to die. It happens at enormous and tragic human cost as indigenous peoples suffer even more for trying to extricate, eliminate, and expel invaders, but far be it from anyone else to intervene because the rest of the world SHOULD have learned its lesson by now - getting involved there is never NOT a massive failure. The smartest thing to do is to stay the fuck out of it and leave the middle east alone. Then again, no one with a shred of competence actually expects Putin to be smart; he pays OTHER people to do that (and then has them defenestrated when he doesn’t hear what he wants to). Anyway, you know how it goes: never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said the Kremlin was in touch with both warring sides and would seek to play a role in resolving the conflict, but did not specify how.

    Putin took the opportunity, during talks with visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, to blame the sharp escalation on years of U.S. policy in the region.

    Putin said Washington had sought to “monopolise” efforts at forging peace, and accused it of failing to seek workable compromises.

    A Kremlin statement said Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan deplored the “catastrophic rise in the deaths among civilians”.

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called for a rapid cease fire in a conversation with his Iranian opposite number, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

    “But nevertheless we intend to keep making efforts and play our role in terms of providing assistance to seek ways to a settlement,” he said.
