Russia has never threatened Israel.
And Assad was being overtly non-aggressive.
What would Israel be faced with if ISIS ran Damascus and had Assads weapons?
Assad is less of a risk to Israel than ISIS. He's a somewhat rational actor.
While what you say is reasoned and true at this point, how does that change the moment an Israeli first strike is launched to take out the Iranian nuclear program?
From that point it escalates dramatically.
Obama’s moves with Iran and this Russian intervention set in place a perfect enactment of Ezekiel 38.
It’s amazing to me how things are closing in on that eventuality.
