I blame Western media's fairness bias. Decades of pushing the idea that every issue has exactly two sides, no more and no less, and those sides are exactly opposite each other and fully equal.
Israel, represented by their hardline zionist governments, on one side. Palestine, represented by the hardline islamists of Hamas, on the other. Nothing exists off that axis, nothing exists between those poles but Enlightened Centrist fence sitters. Fairness.
This is the right take. Likud and Hamas (and the other minor parties/terror groups aligned with those two) deserve each other. The civilians don't deserve to be caught between them. They're both fairly popular afaik, but I can't necessarily blame the people when either side unilaterally disarming would face atrocities.
You might be to essentially use your modern equipment as a store of magic, though. Let's say a 7.62 round takes a minute to produce magically, you now have a machine that can send the output of 10 hours of magic downrange in 1 minute. Even assuming quite a lot of loss, that could be potent depending on how your universe works.
If you know how your equipment works and can find the right smiths, potionmasters, etc you could essentially be carrying the templates for the most powerful items in the realm. Or useless wunderwaffe.
She's also chock full of high end sensor and communications gear, and probably being used to gather and disseminate intel on Russian air and surface movements.

It's more expensive than the upgrade was for Reddit, but it's a smaller market and you pay more for a niche product. I don't have a problem with him getting paid for a good product.
A personal union under Luka would really put a bow on how these oligarchies are just kings and nobles. It's CK irl
