russia supports russia and what russia wants is peace/stability in the middle east because they are (in part) worried about instability in their own large ethnic muslim population like what they saw at the start of israel's attack on gaza. in other words, russia would prefer if iran didn't respond and they will absolutely pull back their military and intelligence aid if they think iran is going to escalate too far in any further response they do. also russia continues to have relations with israel. how good relations after israel's fucking around in ukraine? hard for me to say, but russia is not going to unilaterally close the door on such an important country. important because lots of russian jews emigrated there and because israel has such strong influence over usa. > hezbollah will not make a peace deal that doesn't end the genocide in gaza that's what nasrallah said. now he's dead so things may change. not that i want hezbo to stop, mind you. i'm pretty anti-semitic and i approve nuking telaviv.
