When you’re a nation, you have to watch what your leaders say in public.

This puts Israel on record. If anything happens to those missiles even if Israel isn’t involved, Israel will be the first one people think of.

Better to keep your mouth shut, take out the missiles if you like, then allow Russia a face saving story line like, we’re not sure what happened. We’ll have to look into it.

Now here’s a direct confrontation, that Russia will have to respond to if anything happens, or it will have egg all over it’s face.

Dumb move by the Israeli here.

You go that right.

Dumb move by the Israeli here.

I agree. The threats, implied or otherwise, should be backchanneled. Public protestations are one thing, but threats are something completely different. The Israelis do have a tendency to follow through on their threats, so this is going to be an interesting development.

Not exactly ... ever heard of a God ordained act.

Israel's existence is threatened...they will do whatever necessary.

I just wish our leaders had this sort of gumption.
