Testing Out
There’s a report in the Telegraph about some recent Israeli tourists venturing into Syria:
A US official has confirmed that Israeli warplanes carried out an air strike “deep inside” Syria, escalating tensions between the two countries.
The target of the strike last Thursday remained unclear but Israeli media reported that a shipment of Iranian arms crossing Syria for use by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon was attacked.
And these Democratic assholes in the Senate are fretting about what we might do to poor old Iran? But there really isn’t any choice. The Israelis know this, but idiots like Bernie Sanders? He turns his back on necessity.
Further on in the report we read:
Another theory gaining ground yesterday was that Israel was deliberately attacking the Russian-made Pantsyr air defence system recently bought by Damascus. The sale includes provision for the Pantsyr system to be shipped on to Iran and it is possible the Israeli attack was co-ordinated with America to probe the effectiveness of the system. It is believed that Iran would use the Pantsyr system to defend its nuclear facilities.
Sounds good to me. Once again exposing the inferiority of Russian military technology in the Middle East while reminding the floor-kissers in Iran that they’ll get the same when the time is right? Rock on.
