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.”
My boss and I were talking about this and all it did was have us undermine the support the US gives Isreal. Weather you like the funding or not Ukraine recieving war money from the US is probably one of if not the most ‘just’ place war money goes as contradictory as something like war and justice can be.
That’s the thing really
War is hell and should be avoided when possible, but sometimes it’s necessary and justified.
Too many people think the only kind of war is an offensive war, but there’s such thing as a defensive war.
Sounds like it’s a problem that could be unilaterally solved by the US limiting military aid to Israel instead of propping up a genocidal regime. It’s not Russia’s fault that US foreign policy led to their support of genocidal maniacs.
What do people say about Russia and China? That the government and the people are different entities? The same applies here. Not supporting the absolutely batshit crazy Israeli government does not indicate a lack of support for the Jewish people.
Sounds like the western propaganda machine is looking to use the conflict in Israel to boost waning support for its proxy war in Ukraine
