“It’s all about Israel, a short distance away, and Iran and our renewed “friend” SA.”
Who’s threatening Israel? They have had better relations with Russia than us for the past 20 years, and have MUCH BETTER relations now.
Iran is a bunch of dicks, agreed - but if they’re the problem, perhaps attack them, rather than Russia.
Just about every Islamic with a rocket.
For some crazy (to me anyway) reason(s) the Rooskies love them some Iranian mullahs. In Syria it seems Iran=Russia=Iran. It's more than complicated, it's crazy. Tamping down Iranian hegemony seems to require confrontation with the Rooskies.
