Just suppose:
We know that Hamas leaders visited Russia shortly before Hamas attacked Israel. I don't know that Putin planned everything that happened but I expect he encouraged Hamas to attack Israel. He knew that Israel would have an extreme military response to such an action. He knew a war between Palestine and Israel would look bad for Biden who would have to take a stance between the two. If he supported Israel he could lose the support of Middle Eastern Americans, and if he supported Palestine he could lose the support of Jewish Americans. Having the US support two wars is expensive and they would have to choose to support both Ukraine and Israel. We are now seeing this strategy unfold as Biden is losing support from Middle Eastern Americans and Congress has refused to support Ukraine under Trump's direction. Trump has also signaled his support for Putin in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Trump has not commented on the assassination of Putin's rival Navalny. Trump has signaled he would dismantle NATO and would definitely not support Ukraine.
Just suppose.
