F-16 jet was shot down on Saturday over northern Israel, prompting retaliation Israeli forces launched a series of bombardments against bases in Syria

But Benjamin Netanyahu backed down after a call from Putin, it is reported Putin warned him against escalating the conflict in the region after Russia has spent years propping up the Assad regime Vladimir Putin warned Benjamin Netanyahu to back off from military strikes in Syria after an Israeli warplane was shot down in the region on Saturday. The Russian President told Netanyahu in a phone call on Saturday evening to avoid a course of action that could have 'dangerous consequences for the region'. At the time Israel had just completed a second round of bombardments against Syrian forces and what it says were Iranian installations in the country and was considering further strikes in retaliation for the loss of its jet, Haaretz reports.

But Putin, who has spent years propping up the Assad regime in the hopes of staving off American interference, put a swift end to the confrontation, it is reported.

For 200+ Ruskies to actually be part of a combat element, they must have expected no response. I guess that’s why the General’s pencil has an eraser.

Doubt if they make that decision again.

So which Iranian did the Israeli police say should be indicted for corruption?

Please, the allegations were way to prevent action against Iran?

Netanyahu's wife is already headed to trial or on trial for corruption and it's a solid case according to everything I've read. The case against her is what, a way to prevent action against Lebanon?

Seems to be a bit hot too - Russian Mercs and Syrian Assad supporters attacked and learned the meaning of die with the rest. Since Russia was denying that they had any control over Mercs-they can’t complain now.

"Netanyahu's wife is already headed to trial or on trial for corruption and it's a solid case according to everything I've read"

Maybe but it's egregiously timed not only with the subject matter of this thread but also John Kerry instructing an Abbass' puppet - and thus signaling to ALL the bad actors in the region - to "play for time".

"Kerry knows as a former secretary of state, a former U.S. senator, that kind of advice would be stunningly unpatriotic, and I don’t think John Kerry would do something like that," [Newt] Gingrich told "Fox & Friends." "I hope he wouldn’t. I would be very, very surprised if a former secretary of state, a former U.S. senator would have said anything that was that overtly anti-American."

Yeah, the headline doesn’t match the text of the article at all.

“Not a chance. And mr Putin knows it. He’s just posturing for his Iranian clients is all. They’ll get their butts sent straight to alluh in Hell if or when they try making any more trouble or threats”

I’m willing to bet that Putin told Bibi where the Iranians are and not to hit the Syrians.

Methinks Russian USA propaganda & disinformation experience
succeeded in disrupting and corrupting America. Hence, why not use the same template for Israel’s Netanyahu? Fake news and serious charges.

Very possible. Indeed Putin is a realist. He has only limited use for the Iranian mullahs - and they send arms and agitation to terrorists in Russia, too

That would be a big mistake.

This issues ignores the real culprit: Iran.

The Russians need to tell them to pack it up and get out.

If they don’t, then the Russians show de facto support for Iranian attacks on Israel, and Israel has a right to defend themselves.

The whole thing could have a peaceful outcome IF Putin and Assad tell the Iranians to leave.

Any other outcome is either war on Israel by Iran or war by Israel on Iran.

Yep. This showdown was highly significant. Putin blinked, and had to call BiBi Bethanyahu to call of his dogs of war. After all the IAF destroyed 1/2 of the Syrian Air defence system, supplied by Russia to protect the Syria Army of Genocidalists. BTW the Syrian War is said to be highly unpopular inside Russia.

Pooty is walking a tight rope. So far his machinations have kept millions of refugees from crossing the Bosporus , bound for Chechnya, a major thorn in Pooty’s side.

Apparently the Russians were mostly mercenaries from Wagner.

Putin must be a little embarrassed that his war toys were taken out so easily.
