Putin's birthday is 7th Oct, Hamas Attacks on 7th Oct, Asian Games Closed on 8th Oct

Hamas’ brutal assault against Israel came on Vladimir Putin’s birthday.

Such a catastrophic security shock in the Middle East was probably a welcome surprise for a Russian president whose strategic priority is to divert Western support and attention away from Ukraine. A massive conflagration in Israel risks doing exactly that.

The big question is how much credit to give the Kremlin for the perfect storm of mounting crises — in Israel, Kosovo, the Caucasus and Africa — that are rearing up on America and Europe. For many, it’s tempting to see Putin as a mastermind or puppetmaster, stirring up more conflicts than the West can cope with.

Ya, Putin's fault again. Biden gave Iran 6 billion dollars but it's Putin's fault.

I think that money was withheld. It's typical with any deal with the US, they can unilaterally pull out or withhold your portion of deal after it's been delivered.
