It take no backbone at all to paint a bulls-eye on your nation.
It does take backbone to work behind the scenes to trade something Russia wants so they won’t do this. There are other behind the scenes tactics they could deploy also.
All this does it tell Russia they need to up their military presence to protect the S300s, and essentially admit that if anything happens to the missiles, Israel was the one who did it.
DUMB...
I respectfully disagree;
Israelis know where the weapons will end up.
They know to whom these weapons will be used against.
They have been at this a long time. They read the “tea leaves” better than you or I.
:)
It also lets Russia know the Israelis have no way to counter the S-300 once deployed. The EU/US dropping the weapons embargo and McCain sticking his nose into it, are only going to cause problems. Seems like the US leadership has one primary goal. Screw every nation state.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
