I wonder if his travel agent arranged for him to stay anonymously at a Holiday Inn Express instead of a secure state-operated luxury compound

He was preceded by a cargo train of Russian heavy airlift planes. I’m sure those Russian “civilian technicians”, who just happen to know how to operate U.S. carrier killer hypersonic missiles, will make sure official Russia and Putin are guilt free when American boys begin dying.

No matter where Shoigu and his delegation stay, Israel’s adherence to diplomatic norms mean that they will be safe from everything but Mossad surveillance. And given Mossad’s capabilities, Netanyahu may know the details of Shoigu’s discussions with the Iranians before Putin hears of them.

Perhaps Shoigu and his delegation will succumb to a targeted Israeli airstrike, along with the corresponding Iranian counterparts? I don’t think that changes the trajectory of what is about to happen but would sow further confusion and perhaps some hesitation?

In extreme circumstances, Israel and other Western countries may use brutal force, but they do so in limited and defined circumstances and otherwise hold to diplomatic protocols.

As high level Russian officials on a diplomatic undertaking, Shoigu and his party cannot be attacked without risking retaliation and war with Russia. If necessary, Russian transport aircraft can be attacked in Iran as they deliver military supplies.

And it is at least possible that Shoigu is delivering a "Sorry, sweetheart" message to Iran that Russia will not back them against Israel and urging restraint. Such a move would help keep Israel from going in on Ukraine's side against Russia.

Russian cannot help too much. They are so tight up in Ukraine, they have been buying equipment from Iran lately.

They could not even help Armenia in Nagorno Karabagh.

What’s interesting is that Shoigu is still in charge in Russia. With the Russian military performance lately, he would be gone long time ago in most countries.

From the article: “Russia has cultivated closer ties with Iran since the start of its war with Ukraine and has said it is preparing to sign a wide-ranging cooperation agreement with the Islamic State.”

The Biden Regime creates one foreign policy blunder after another.

America’s greatest challenge in the 21st century isn’t Russia. It’s China. In the long term, we want Russia on our side in the long struggle between us and Communist China.

The globalist warmongers purposely pushed Putin, through the use of severe sanctions and other means, into China’s corner and now Iran’s.

To paraphrase Stephen K. Bannon, “Elections have consequences. Rigged elections have catastrophic consequences.”

Not sure you are aware the Military must be worried as they were over the weekend testing landing Military C-130’s on Civilian highways in Arkansas.

No, I wasn’t aware so I googled it and found several articles.

This article claims, “As K8 News reported earlier, the exercise will provide “real-world scenario training” in case of a devastating natural disaster, such as an earthquake.”

I think there’s a little more to it.
