Incorrect Poindexter.Actually, it's a good thing that Obama has been neutered and has assumed the role of an international clown.
Now Netanyahoo will have to deal directly with Putin.
And believe me Putin will treat Nettey Boy like a red headed step son and not take any crap from him. .
Wow, what a bizzare and delusional world you live in. You actually think Netanyahu and Israel would make a drastic airstike on Russian missiles without coodrination with the USA. You hate Obama so much that you are unable to see the larger stategy that has been and is being implemented in regards to Syria, Russian support for Syria and Iran and in the end, Iran itself.
You think Obama is the clown when Putin is in fact the clown. Israel, with support from the USA, just gave Putin a message. The message is that Russia has very little control of, or now, even influence on what goes on in Syria. Russia can not protect Syria. Iran has the same air defense systems as Syria. Their systems are useless against our weapons. They are not even close to being on the same level of technological effeciency. Israel was able to fly through that system and can do it again whenever they want or need to. By making these probes against the Russian system to attack Russian targets we are establishing two things. First, we can do it and second, we will attack Russian targets.
Israel does some of the dirty work for us. They do things that are uncomfortable for us to do. You can be sure Putin, Assad and those fuckers in Iran know full well that the USA and Israel are coordinating the strategy that has put them into a box.
Putin backed Obama down......and now the U.S. won't interfere with the Russians in the ME
And the Russians sure won't let a postage stamp sized nation like Israel dictate anything to them. .
