Israel got tired of the US working against its interest. Blame Clinton and Kerry.
Maybe old memories are recurring. While the US was the first nation to recognize the State of Israel, the Soviet recognition followed in about ten minutes.
Agreed. I also see what Prime Minister Netanyahu is doing as far as a relationship with the United States government, as treating our current administration and its leader for what it is; pure reckless stupidity and lunacy, and a complete waste of time and energy. You probably already know that Mr. Netanyahu is an M.I.T. graduate and is vastly intellectually superior, and also has immense military and political knowledge and wisdom from his years in the Israeli military and political posts.
The political and/or military discussions (albeit likely short ones) that Prime Minister Netanyahu has with Vladimir Putin—who is no intellectual slouch himself, are not in any way because the Israeli PM trusts Putin; it is because the PM is “keeping friends close, enemies closer”. He is information-mining, and Putin is doing the same. I think that the PM may trick Putin into doing some things that are positive for both Israel and the Middle East—but Netanyahu also knows that Putin will say one thing and do the exact opposite, do whatever he wants to do, the Russian invasion and takeovers will not stop with Crimea and Ukraine, and he knows that Putin has already purposed in his mind to invade Israel with the military support of several Arab countries. Obama is standing aside from Russia because he has already made a deal with Putin; if the United States stays completely out of the situation (aside from some weak-as-water sanctions and a bit of military posturing to fool the masses), Putin has agreed to give the United States a percentage of the oil, gas, land/mineral, ports and strategic resources, once Vladimir has accomplished Israel’s capture and control. Of course we also know that as a Muslim, Obama hates the Jewish people and longs for their destruction.
God will protect Israel from the attack, slaughter all but 1/6th of the invading forces, and destroy Russia. Israel will spend the next seven years burning the weapons and burying the bodies.
I would bet Obama and Putin haven’t considered such a scenario for a second.
