| The Netanyahu-Putin entente |

| [Jpost] Because of the approaching elections, most Israeli newspapers these days resemble election pamphlets, not always in the best of taste, more than they do channels of information ‐ with the result that they barely covered, for instance, this month’s important meeting in Moscow between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Vladimir Putin. As reported, the main topic on the agenda was Iran’s extensive activity in Syria. Given that Russia’s establishing itself in the region has become what looks like a permanent or at least long-term reality (where the czars and the Soviets failed, Putin succeeded), while America’s presence, like the face of the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland, is gradually disappearing ‐ Moscow is now a central player in any scenario in this respect. ...Diplomatic history is sure to mark Netanyahu’s act of balancing Israel’s fundamental relations with America ‐ with its pragmatic coordination with Russia on Syria, without the latter being perceived by Washington as negatively affecting its global interests ‐ as major diplomatic achievements. And Israel is acting wisely in operating with full transparency toward the US in this and other respects, keeping in mind that the US is Israel’s long-term strategic and value-based ally, while Russia is an important and practical partner in dealing with certain particular issues. If it weren't for the coup attempt, I'm sure Trump's administration would be moving in similar ways: it's ridiculous for the relations between Russia & USA - who need each other as allies against China, to be influenced by EU/USA deep state psychopaths. |
