Now, see Israel needs firm and stance ally.
The one with no scruples, and willing to go to fight for its ally.
That is NOT Obamerica.

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

Someone over there needs to have their kippah examined. The Russians are not friendlies. OTOH, maybe the Israelis will sell them drones with software unlike their current crop which will be used ***in the event of***.
All true!
But, again, Israel dosent need good guys as an allies.
It needs big, dirty, rotten BUT FIRM allies.
Look at it like this.
“If Russia can support Venezuela nad Iran, they can support Israel aswell”
In teh other hand, name a nation that can trust president Obama.
(50% of his OWN nation doesent!)
It’s a fair question question to raise. And it’s something our leaders should take note of. If one of our closest allies is looking around for a replacement, we just may be doing something incredibly stupid.
With Gate’s comments last week, I think we are.
I agree they are not friendlies. And that’s Russia’s big mistake IMO. They have much more in common with us, if they would simply sign on. Their future with China is not Rosy IMO.
I think Obama has moved beyond Socialism and Communism, and is now primarily a Fascist. He wants intimate control of everything.
One thinks any Israeli with an IQ above room temperature would have figured this out. I wonder if they have created tamper-proof drones that self-destruct if reverse engineering is attempted. Nothing else makes sense, except a death wish.
Israel uncorks one every so often that makes you scratch your head. Sad but true...
I agree with your observations.

Exactly. And what makes the Russians think the Israelis are providing drones that don’t have back doors in their software?
Good question. A software review could probably detect that though.
