A long courtship
President Vladimir Putin repeatedly invited Hamas’ political and military leadership back to the Russian capital. Hamas officials and commanders secured high-level meetings with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and Russia’s special envoy for the Middle East, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, among others.
Bogdanov’s role in the link between Russia-Hamas is central. He has been in charge of the relationship on a day-to-day basis for many years, regularly meeting its leaders in Moscow and Qatar. Bogdanov has also been entrusted by Putin to undertake sensitive diplomatic missions with China, among other major actors, to support Russia’s Mideast policies.

The Russia-Iran-Hamas Alliance might be old news, but some may still not know it...
Russia-Hamas
Russia-Hamas
Russia-Hamas
Still trying to jump-start the totally dead Ukraine Project battery from the Israeli-Hamas war vehicle, I see...
You keep trying to link the stupid Russia Ukraine War to Israel and Hamas but they are not. There may be some overlap in the players but the conflicts are being fought for entirely different reasons.
Zeepers will do anything, steal, cheat, and lie, for their hero Zelensky.
Yes, Putin supports both Iran and Hamas
But so does the Biden/Obama administration. Pallets of money to Iran and removal of Trumps sanctions, etc. Millions to Hamas and PLO. Trump stopped the Obama funding all Palestinians (Hamas) but the Biden/Obama crowd opened up the money faucets again. The US gives hard cash. What has Putin given them besides “attaboys?”
Russia has never given a dime to Hamas or Oran. Not even a single bullet.
The US and Europe have given billions to both.
Just who is supporting terrorism?
“Yes, Putin supports both Iran and Hamas
But so does the Biden/Obama administration.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When Trump is back in office, he will apply renewed pressure on the Russia-Iran-Hamas alliance.
Just like he successfully did during the previous Trump administration. In those days there was peace.
When Trump was president, dictators and terrorists were too scared to act against either Israel or Ukraine.
“Russia gave captured US weapons to Hamas as a ploy to undermine Ukraine, report says”
Do you recall FDR inviting leading Nazis to the Whitehouse to shake their hands after the invasion of Poland?
According to Ukrainian Intelligence.
You beclown yourself.
“Russia gave captured US weapons to Hamas as a ploy to undermine Ukraine, report says”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Indeed, and that is only scratching the surface.
It is most probable that Putin also gave his “go ahead” signal to Iran/Hamas for their 7th of October attack against Israel.
As a deflection tactic to lessen the pressure on the Russian invading troops on the Ukrainian frontline.
“ When Trump was president, dictators and terrorists were too scared to act against either Israel or Ukraine.”

I see your latest marching orders include “attempt to tie Ukraine and MAGA together”. Sorry but that won’t sell. MAGA leaning Americans know the America-first and Ukraine don’t mix.
“It is most probable that Putin also gave his “go ahead” signal to Iran/Hamas for their 7th of October attack against Israel.”
Since you anti-American Ukrainian partisans are offering unfounded conjecture, I’ll offer the following:
It is far more likely Hamas bought those American weapons on the Ukrainian black market and Ukrainian Intelligence is trying to cover up that fact.
Middle East InstituteSurprise! It's another Washington DC "charitable" institution. Some nice salaries there for the DC types, as maybe seen in their most recently available Form 990.Domain Name: MEI.EDU

Pretty building too. Should be, because today some nations in that Middle East are major contributors. Ah, DC and lobbying.
Those DC area mortgages aren’t going to pay themselves...

I’m just repeating Trump’s severe stance against Russia and pro-free-Ukraine attitude.
Yes. Here is a Trump video where he is stating it himself!
The number one MAGA-man is explaining his disgust about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the “atrocities” Russia committed there, and that it should NEVER have been aloud to happen (Trumps own words). Sorry if this news comes as a shock to you...
Trump then ads “We all pray for the people of Ukraine, they are going through hell...”
So by repeating what Trump says and his America First policies, that doesn’t make me “someone who is attempting to link Maga to anything specifically. I’m just telling the truth. I say what Trump says.

USA paid Hamas $million$, and a tone more to the west bank.
Thanks a pretty big “link”.

Supporting Ukraine with massive money expenditures does NOTHING to make America great. Instead it weakens us and drives us further into DEBT. Shutting down our economy and closing schools and businesses (as Fauci recommended to Trump) did not make us great but, instead, drove us massively into greater INDEBTEDNESS and allowed the DemocRATS to conduct vote fraud on a massive scale.
You apparently think that Trump has not LEARNED to NOT TRUST the Deep Staters, Neocons and globalists. He has and what he will do in the future will reflect that HARD EARNED KNOWLEDGE.
So don’t try to conflate American and Ukrainian interests. WE’RE NOT GULLIBLY BUYING IT.
Supporting Ukraine with massive money expenditures does NOTHING to make America great.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Actually, it helps America’s economy and it is making America Great again.
Almost 90 percent of America’s financial military assistance to Ukraine is actually going directly to... Americans. Quite a shocker right?
The American Workers are benefetting from this in at least 31 states.
We have identified 117 production lines in at least 31 states and 71 cities where American workers are producing.
In other words, as happens with foreign military aid, our aid to Ukraine is not only creating American jobs but also reinvigorating our dangerously atrophied defense industrial base. Vance said in October that “the condition of the American defense industrial base is a national scandal. Repairing it is among our most urgent priorities.” Well, our aid to Ukraine is doing exactly that.
Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans.
American Workers in at least 31 states.
Ukraine aid’s best-kept secret: Most of the money stays in the U.S.A.

Just a reminder...
America’s WWII expenditures made it a superpower and insanely rich.
Without WWII America would be insignificant today.
