Several times in articles I have expressed criticism of Putin, because he would be much too soft and yielding to the constant aggression of the US, NATO and Israel. I thought that Putin has only two options; Either the western aggressors are at a loss to piss them off, to stop them, or they give up and capitulate, let everything be done with Russia and its "allies".
He apparently decided to surrender. Why am I saying that now? Because what happened yesterday on May 9th proves it to me. When I saw Putin and Netanyahu walking together across the Red Square in Moscow during the "Victory Day" celebrations, it caught me on Schwiizerdütsch "de nuggi usse", or in High German, my jaw dropped!
It is one thing to hit the war criminal Netanyahu with minimal effort behind closed doors, but a very different one to show in public with him. That's a clear statement of how relationships are. But what is the peak, while Putin and his guest in front of the entire world audience showed their friendship, Israel has attacked Syria with fighter jets and rockets.
Clearly, Putin does not object to Israel increasingly fighting a war against Syria. But not only against Syria, but now also against Iran ... allegedly both "partners" of Russia. For me, this appearance and tolerance of the attacks, Russia is not a reliable protective power. If I were Assad or Ruhani, I would know them now, you're completely alone, Russia will not move a finger !!!
It seems that the 10-hour meeting ended in the moment when a serious escalation began along the Golan Heights, with both Syria and Israel blaming each other for who started. Israel has launched cruise missiles, artillery fire and rockets into the south of Syria and even on Damascus itself.
For me it is clear, Netanyahu has got the green light for the attack of Putin and got it.
If it was not clear in the last weeks and months of unprovoked Israeli attacks on Syria - supposedly to push back the Iranian troop presence - then it should now be very clear that Syria, Israel and Iran are now in a state of war. All signs point to further aggravation of the conflict.
