right on maria zakharova! thanks karl... she clarified her use of the term nationalism for me here in this part 2 selection.... i was busy doing a gig out of town and only got round to this when back! a quote of significance from the article - "We should also view Zionism as a form of Extremist Nationalism, and we might also place American Exceptionalism into that category as well." powerful words that won't sit well with the israel gov't...
Glad to read the second question and answer, and glad to see the MFA's clear headed assessment of the currently circulating stories about the west supposedly "considering the possibility of negotiations". "Sometime next year" etc. For better or worse, it's fluff as in previous times.
The dire state of the current batch of Ukraine's fighting men doesn't change the equation for decision making power. Ones in Kiev, they are financially dependent on the continued flow of wartime aid. Ones in Washington will keep it going one way or another, covertly if necessary. That pretty much completes the list (EU doesn't get meaningful input).
Ukraine is beginning to unravel, but there remains much work to be done. I omitted that part of the briefing as it added little and other events needed that space.
The last paragraph. LOL! No, Russia cannot criticise Israel and their Zionist imperialism directly. And lay the full blame on US, not mentioning that US politics is tied like a horse to that Zionist imperialism and is a runaway cart today.

Those words you cite, james, are mine from the closing paragraph discussion.

in a way the Palestinian fighting is good for Russia as resources meant for the Nazis are being diverted to Israel.

Or more appropriately, like a cart tied to a runaway horse.
Net just said he never agreed to any 4-hours truces.
