Vladimir Putin seems unimpressed with President Obama's warnings. ...(Ya'alon)"Weakness certainly does not pay in the world," he said.
He’s right.
And all you folks in Europe thinking the US will save them from Putin, guess again.
After having seen American fecklessness towards Russia, Israel should worry.
Maybe it's because we are finally coming to our senses that the days of serving as the world's policeman is coming to an end before the job bankrupts us and bleeds us to death.
They damn sure better not depend on the bunch that now occupies the White House defending Israel.
The correct statement would be “We can not depend on the lying, weak, backstabbing mac daddy administration to do anything to assist israel except draw meaningless red line”.
It’s not America that you can’t depend on, it’s the mac daddy administration and their total lack of creditability anywhere on the planet Earth.
They can depend on him to side with muslims and other Jew haters.
And they can depend on him backing their enemies.
Israel isn’t stupid!
Israel only has to look at Ukraine agreeing to disarm with a guarantee that NATO and the US would help to maintain their independence and sovereignty. Well how is that “hopey changey” working for ya now Ukraine.
You negotiated that guarantee with the assumption that the US would always be a strong US lead by a strong leader. And today we find ourselves with a weak US and an IMPOTENT leader.
Who feels safe? Raise your hands — Those of you with agreements that were reached when the US was strong and said that it would have your back...How you feel’n about that treaty now - Yeah, I would be scared too.
The “six powers” and the smiling mullahs can sign whatever deal they like. However Israel will not leave Iran’s nuclear infrastructure functional and intact. Iran is a bizarre theocratic dictatorship that has made apocalyptic threats against Israel. Israel’s leaders would be catastrophically negligent if they allowed Iran to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
I’m no longer amenable to the USA getting involved in wars. The USA is almost broke. We don’t have money to defend our borders or ourselves or provide the military with benefits. Before we start taking on the lead in another war, I want these other countries around the world to expend their own treasure, and children’s lives defending themselves. We’ll play strong safety as long as they fill out the line and take the beating .
That’s for sure!
The White House was shocked by Moshe Ya’alon’s comments, which seriously call into question his commitments to Israel’s relationship with the United States,
a senior administration official told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday night.
What is the U.S.?
I’ve made the comment since the Crimea annexation by Russia that what made it even thinkable is a complete leadership vacuum on the international stage left by the incompetence of the US leaders. And this not only leaves our allies terribly vulnerable in a dangerous world but, in the case of Israel, may force them to pre-emptively defend themselves against agressors like Iran.
I believe Obama’s incompetence has sealed the likelyhood of overt Israely military action against Iran.
Israel cannot depend on the U.S.
Hell, WE can’t depend on US to take care of US. The B[umbler]OTUS doesn’t seem to have a freakin clue.
Tho he is more flexible now that he has been re-elected...
O’s more flexible now that he was re-elected to a 2nd term.
A group of ignorant females shout "Death to Israel" as they swoon over Satan about to destroy America.
Maybe in 2016. Maybe and hopefully not too late.
