JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel cannot depend on the U.S. to take the lead against the Iranian nuclear program, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Tuesday.
His remarks came just as the P5+1 (U.S., U.K., France, Russia, China and Germany) are about to begin the next round of talks on Iran's nuclear facilities.
The U.S. should be leading the campaign against Iran, Ya'alon said, but instead it's making deals with it. Israel will do what it must to defend itself.
"We thought that the one who needs to lead the campaign against Iran is the U.S.," the defense minister said during remarks at Tel Aviv University earlier this week, the Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported.
"If we wished others would do the work for us, it wouldn't be done soon and therefore in this matter, we have to behave as if we can only rely on ourselves," Ya'alon said.
U.S. influence around the world is declining, he said, as the crisis in the Ukraine shows. Russian President Vladimir Putin seems unimpressed with President Obama's warnings.
"Weakness certainly does not pay in the world," he said. "No one can replace the U.S. as the world's policeman. I hope the U.S. will come to its senses."
I’ve made the comment since the Crimea annexation by Russia that what made it even thinkable is a complete leadership vacuum on the international stage left by the incompetence of the US leaders. And this not only leaves our allies terribly vulnerable in a dangerous world but, in the case of Israel, may force them to pre-emptively defend themselves against agressors like Iran.
I believe Obama’s incompetence has sealed the likelyhood of overt Israely military action against Iran.
Israel cannot depend on the U.S.
Hell, WE can’t depend on US to take care of US. The B[umbler]OTUS doesn’t seem to have a freakin clue.
Tho he is more flexible now that he has been re-elected...
we are bankrupt from liberals letting half the country live off food stamps, welfare payments, unemployment for 2 years and programs like Obamacare.
Obama has added 7 trillion to the national debt.
O’s more flexible now that he was re-elected to a 2nd term.

The tragedy of the 19th Amendment bump...
Same s--t, Different A-hole.
Maybe in 2016. Maybe and hopefully not too late.
You’re not wrong. the bleed is not being the police, it is being everything to everyone yet being blamed for all the problems
Howsabout:
After a long, deep sleep—the state of Israel finally WAKES UP!
“Maybe it’s because we are finally coming to our senses that the days of serving as the world’s policeman is coming to an end before the job bankrupts us and bleeds us to death.”
Very hard to add to your on target comment.

We are bankrupt, borrowing money from China.
Correct. Obama is as dependable as a slender reed.
Israel always knew they’d have to go it alone when Obama took over. For whatever reason, he has it in for them.
That’s all part of “being the world’s sugar-daddy”.
These days, no one should count on us.
He doesn't need a clue.
He's got a BlackBerry.
The barbarians on the other end of the BlackBerry have a clue.
And their clue doesn't end well for Western Civilization.
