Israels fortsatte luftangrep mot påståtte iranske mål i Syria har skapt frustrasjon i Moskva. Nå truer Russland åpent med sanksjoner mot Israel.
Vestlige Israel-fanatikere står maktesløse og ser på at favorittlaget deres i Midtøsten risikerer alvorlige militære konsekvenser fra Russland. I en kronikk i Russia Today truer Russland åpent med reaksjoner mot den krigshissige staten ute i ørkenen.
RT:
In an official statement last week, the special envoy of the president of Russia to Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, indicated that Moscow was rapidly losing patience with Israel over airstrikes against alleged Iranian targets on Syria soil. “Sooner or later, the cup of patience, including the Syrian government, may be overflowing, and a retaliatory strike will follow, which will accordingly lead to a new round of tension. These attacks must be stopped, they are counterproductive. We hope that the Israeli side will hear our concerns, including concerns about the possible escalation of violence in Syria.”
The language, though diplomatic, leaves little room for misinterpretation. By using the term “including” about the Syrian government losing patience, Lavrentiev left no doubt that the other “inclusive” party was Russia.
Hvordan Israel liksom kan bekrefte at det de bomber løs på i Syria er «iranske mål» vet ingen. Verden må nesten bare ta deres ord på at dette stemmer.
Ingen spøk
Når en aktør som Russland gir en slik beskjed, er det lite annet å gjøre enn å høre etter. Militære analytikere mener at Russland er nummer én i verden på bakkestyrker og infanteri. USA skal være litt bedre på luftkrig, fordi de har så mange baser omkring i verden.
Skulle det oppstå konflikt mellom Russland og Israel, så er det likevel fint lite USA kan gjøre med dette.
By declaring that Russia’s “cup of patience” will soon run out regarding Israel’s actions in Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev has made it clear that Israel can no longer assume Russian inaction in the face of continued attacks on Iranian targets inside Syria. The question is whether Israel believes Russia is bluffing, or whether it can defeat any Russian actions in response to continued air strikes in Syria. In this, Israel would do well to reflect on Russia’s recent history, “bluffing” is not part of the lexicon. It would likewise do well to consider the potential repercussions of what Russian “retaliation” and “escalation of violence” might entail. Russia recognizes that a solution to the problems of Syria will only come after a lengthy period of diplomacy and political change. By threatening Israel with violence, Russia is sending a signal that Israel would do well to embrace the same logic. While there may be no military solution to the Syrian puzzle, there could very well be military consequences for any Israeli miscalculation.
Vil dette ende den israelske luftbombingen i Syria, eller vil det eskalere til en total krig dere nede igjen?
