"These Kremlin narratives target Western audiences to drive a wedge in military support for Ukraine," said the Institute for the Study of War.

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.”

    what’s suspicious about being excited for a spoiler candidate who will help republicans win

    Here, fixed it for ya. Nobody likes it, but FPTP means voting for West pushes the country farther right, not left.

          the Fascist party more of an advantage.

          the fascist party is the corporate democrats and republicans. any vote that’s not for them is an antifascist vote.

            There is no argument to be made. FPTP is what it is. You not being able to comprehend it doesn’t mean I “need to make an argument” You are just flat out wrong and ignorant.

        The US is more to the right on average than Cornel West. He won’t win. Even if that wasn’t the case, people would still mostly vote for the Democratic candidate (in this case Joe Biden), because the Democratic Party is more established and expected to get more votes based on past elections. People are aware of the system used for voting in their country and vote accordingly. Children can understand this, so why are you this obtuse?
