    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
