Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I'm unsure of the extent of cooperation between both sides, it's certainly less than between Iran and Korea or Iran and Venezuela.
There is also a significant portion of the Russian ruling class with deep economic ties to the entity and the west. So it's in their personal and class interests to reproach the west. This is also true in Iran to a lesser extent.
However I do agree that as the sanctions against Russia continue, it's economic interests will align more and more with the resistance, we have seen the reproach meant with Korea, and Iranian arms sales are a good start.
That being said, this meeting was with the comprador regime in the west bank and the statement seems vacuous.
Yes it was, a meeting with the compradors. They also met with Hamas leader though. They are a state. They have to have diplomatic meetings with everyone, even those they don’t like, and make pleasantries.
Cuba does this. Venezuela does this. China does this. Basically the only nation that doesn’t have to do much diplomatic pleasantry crap is DPRK because they are so isolated they can just have their exact position without having to placate certain geopolitical tensions or powers
