So Israel wants to take on a "russian" reputation?????

The countries will share intelligence and Israel will teach Russian forces how to fight a counter-insurgency. The story says nothing about Russia teaching Israel about how to get stuck in a boondoggle occupation and then back out after public outcry--the Israelis learned about that in Lebanon.

Please, of course the story says nothing about Israel taking on a "russian" reputation. HOWEVER, one cannot ignore HISTORY.

Putin first makes nice nice to Israel and then Putin announces he will choose regional governors, no more "free" elections.

We are talking about the man who for a birthday present sent that "MENTAL" IL of N.Korea horses. HELLO!!!

Sorry but Putin Inc., lost out BIG TIME using Saddam and that UN "OIL for rotten Food" program, so they are moving along making friends influencing people.

WHO will be left with the TAB????

Yes, fortunately the deal does not include the Israelis being trained in the Russian expertise of getting themselves into bloody quagmires.
