Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States on Wednesday of inflaming the Middle East by sending an aircraft carrier group to the region, saying "compromise solutions" were needed and that he hoped common sense would prevail.

The Kremlin chief has called the explosion of violence between Israel and the Palestinians a vivid example of the failure of U.S. policy in the Middle East, which he says has taken no account of the needs of the Palestinians.

Following the surprise attack by Hamas militants on Israel on Saturday, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the U.S. was moving a carrier strike group, which includes the USS Gerald R. Ford, closer to Israel.

Putin, speaking at an energy conference in Moscow, said the U.S. move, which was also fiercely criticised by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday, was a mistake.

His worldview could not be more skewed.

3. Putin Is For Peace

10. A little piece of Ukraine, a little piece of Poland ...

4. Putin calls to "minimize or reduce to zero" civilian casualties in expanding conflict - CNN

"Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday urged "both" sides in the fighting between Israel and Hamas to "minimize or reduce to zero" civilian casualties".

Talk about yer bothsiderism.
Corporate media at it's worst.

[ShazzieB]

21. Oh, sure, that's doable. 🙄👿😡

OMFG, I don't even know where to start. So I'll just say this: Fuck you, Pooty Poot Poot! Fuck you and the fucking horse you fucking rode in on! But most of all, FUCK your FUCKING hypocrisy and the FUCKING ice water in your FUCKING veins. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. GO TO HELL.

5. Putin doesn't have a capable

aircraft carrier, otherwise he’d do the same.
The Kuznetsov is a floating junkyard. Besides, Russia keeps (or generally keeps) their own military presence in the area.

6. Trump's handler says what?

[nycbos]

9. If Putin is angry then I am happy

[The Unmitigated Gall]

11. Says the murdering fuck

Who gassed a city in Syria.

Putin is a cancer on the world.

[DFW]

12. On the other hand, if the Kurds do something similar in Ankara or Istanbul.........

I don't recall the fierce Turkish military response being announced by their government as a "mistake." Putin's huge military response response to Chechen violence didn't seem full of compromise, either.

Methinks VVP and Erdoğan have a slight double standard issue to contend with..............

13. Kind of puts the carriers planes in nice position to fly over NATO Turkey into the Black Sea.

[FredGarvin]

19. The US is flying over the Black Sea daily.

The Russians tried to shoot a few aircraft down, but adults in the room decided not to escalate.

[Cha]

15. FO Putin. HAMAS "INFLAMED" the

the Middle East with Terrorism and War Crimes.

[Backseat Driver]

16. Maybe our President could order our military hospital ships

to deploy in behind the combat-ready Gerald Ford group for triage and removal/transfer of patients to land-based US bases or NATO ally nations' hospital care? I really think Israeli troops and the kidnapped will need advanced medical care and trauma protection should Israelis fight an on-going urban ground search and rescue using combat techniques against barbarous Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

I hesitate to allow myself to think that it might also be good messaging in reducing the despair and hatred instilled in the hearts of non-combatants of Palestininan women and young children forced into bearing the complicity of guilt for want of human needs and a very understandable human flaw of choosing apathy and/or cowardice in an atmosphere of an open-air prison without hope of escape they'd likely not survive anyhow! Jews had a model in Masada against Roman persecution - what can the others in a different century look to in saving the potential of life and future for their young children? Yup, I have trouble with a "too bad = it's sad" attitude in the political RW authoritative/totalitarian/fascist viewpoints and policies/strategies when mixed with fundamentist religious zealotry - Is that feeling really such an unsolvable false equivalency corundum of "magical thinking?" Will time tell what morality doesn't lead to complicity and/or better long-term outcomes?

18. Maybe The UN can help

I hope so.
This is a world problem.
I pray that The UN steps in and helps these people

[AllaN01Bear]

17. common sense 4 ukr and other areas you invaded sir.?

[SouthernDem4ever]

20. Is this really important? Putin should STFU and no one should be giving him air time.

He's a fucking war criminal himself - just as bad as any Hamas terrorist.

[mysteryowl]

22. There shouldn't be ANY news headline of putin's opinion

The only headlines about puntin should be that he is a criminal mass murderer terrorist wanted for arrest.

[BidenRocks]

23. Putin, like traitor tfg

can foad!
The sooner, the better.
Meanwhile, Slava Ukraine! Let's not forget that this is a two front war.
Both important, both with human atrocities.
Hamas will soon learn the meaning of 'never again'.
I am so sad. So many civilians.

24. Fuck Putin

26. We are going to "inflame" your buddy Iran

If they attack Israel.
