Russia comments on Hammas

Thanks to Joel Rosenberg, the latest news on Russia and Hammas is up: "Russia does not see Hammas as a terrorist organization"

On the one hand I see that as an insane statement to make, but on the other, a smart one, why? Becasuse Russia wants as many friends in that region as she can get, and isn't about to put someone out in the cold when that someone is obstructing what the United States is trying to do as far as a peace process. Russia ultimately doesn't like the United States, and is positioning itself for something, the question is what?

Answer: she wants her power and glory back...and will do what she must to flex her muscle and gain powerful friends....
