So now having made it pro forma protest in the weakest language possible, Russia will look the other way while Israel takes what ever action it needs to.
The posting of the Russian drone video of Damascus goes with this.
In Isaiah 17, Damascus, (the oldest continually inhabited city in the world) becomes a heap of rubble, then northern Israel is attacked.
The problem is that Russia is allied with Hezbollah through its Iranian ally. With the S400 or Buk systems in place, Russia could tell Hezbollah were any IAF were bound and track all cross boarder Israeli Army movements on the ground. What happens here likely depends on what agreements the two militaries have reached.
Odd how the first shots are always fired from muslim territory, not the other way around. Russia should control its clients better.
This is just the beginning. Now that Russia is directly involved in Syria, look for them to start making excuses to involve themselves more directly in Israel, probably under the excuse of a “peacekeeping” mission.
“1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.” Ezekiel 38:1-9
Amazing statement coming from Israel.
Where's ETL when we need him? We need to hear about how the Russians are everywhere and present us, and the world with an existential threat!

Their inventory of rockets is growing, that's not secret. And they're Russian/Assad allies. Wonder what would alarm Russia. The possibility of a preemptive Israeli strike? Or the risk of Hizbollah using their chemical weapons, making an Israeli strike a certainty.
