Syria doesn’t have the latest Russian anti-missile tech,
What? Vlad told you this himself? Blabbermouth. Now he’s going to find you and kill you.
Whatever Syria does or does not have, Israel already has an understanding not to go after Assad or the Russian garrisons, so long as Assad stays on his good behavior. Whatever happens elsewhere happens elsewhere.
” but that may change if Israel sticks its nose where it doesn’t belong.”
Israel’s nose remains in Israel, but some of its Iron Dome system belongs in Ukraine, because we can, because it’s purely defensive, and because Russia in Syria is already a bad thing, and if Putin is humiliated in Ukraine, he will be discredited at home, and maybe even pull his troops out of Syria so they can come home and strafe some anti-Putin demonstrators. It could be the beginning of the end of Putin’s mis-rule AND his presence in Syria.
” unless you want someone firing missiles back at you.”
Been there, done that, missiles out of Lebanon and out of Ghaza. Syria is not likely to get frisky. They tried that in ‘48, ‘67 and ‘73, and it didn’t end well for them. Arabs fear humiliation more than death, and Israel beating them repeatedly is to them about the equivalent of the BMOC jock getting repeatedly knocked out in front of the whole school by Steve Urkel. But if they want to do missiles, every house in Israel has an air-raid shelter, and we have some missiles, too, and world-class pilots, second only to the US Navy’s.
