Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned on Wednesday that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could radically destabilise the situation in the Middle East, where an air war between Iran and Israel has raged for six days.

In separate comments, the head of Russia's SVR foreign intelligence service, Sergei Naryshkin, was quoted as saying that the situation between Iran and Israel was now critical.

Ryabkov warned the U.S. against direct military assistance to Israel or even considering such "speculative options," according to Russia's Interfax news agency.

Why? President putting getting FOMO?

[yldstrk]

Give Israel the bunker busters and the means to deliver them.

[spincaster]

An air war has raged? More like a turkey shoot Pooty Poot.

[grumpygresh]

Warn Russia not to aid Iran. Putin and Russia are garbage.

[Netz]

Russia? Russia is just afraid of losing another loser ally in the Middle East and them getting booted out of the entire region. Kick them out!

[Harpotoo]

Or else what???

[nuconvert]

I don’t think anyone except Americans are going to fly our B-2’s

[neverevergiveup]

Or what? Russia’s been partnering with North Korea, Iran, China etc. while also attacking Ukraine. Who are they to tell us what to do?

[TheThirdRuffian]

He’ll send another 300000 (or whatever, no clue) wave of North Koreans to die?

[VAFreedom]

the russians need someone more high rank to speak and more insult they used, the better it’d work. (sure, it’d be a better outcome all together)

[Jonty30]

Unless Russia is going nuclear, there isnt much it can do. I sense Sabre rattling and not much else.

[arthurus]

Putin is late. US is helping Israel militarily big-time, just no boots.

Im gonna say it. EPA fleet gas mileage has not help the auto industry. I don't care about how much gasoline my neigh or can afford and I don't care if my neighbor drives a humane or a f- 350 4x4 dually.

It's Karen's and Kent's who complain about what others drive.

i do have issues with excessive lift kits on trucks, 3specailly the ones where they can only afford to do the front half. - known as the carolina squat

[arthurus]

It takes a B2. We are not allowing anyone else to have or use a B2. I suppose if we have trained B pilots who speak Hebrew we could fake it, but otherwise, in order to maintain the convenient fiction that we are not involved we have to keep them out of it. The alternative is probably not wise i.e. deliver it by semi trailer truck.

If it comes own to the last nail in the Mullahs' coffins then we will probably do the deed or if we get signals that Iran is about to launch a nuke, then everything is on the table.

A threat has to have something to back it up, Russia has nothing.

Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned on Wednesday that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could radically destabilise the situation in the Middle East...

That's the idea, Sergei. The current situation needs to be destabilized. Remove Iran as the main state sponsor of terrorism in the middle east. No more Iran = no more Houtis, no more Hezbullah, no more Hamas.

[Texas Fossil]

Reuters? Double Bag Barf Alert!

Quoting Putin??

Nuts

[Mastador1]

Russia at this point i a paper Tiger, I think Pootitoot is upset that Iran won’t be able to help him with arms.

[trebb]

Is this the same Russia that can’t beat the Ukraine? Paper Bears shouldn’t overstep....
