VT WAS RIGHT: Israeli Airstrikes Were Complete Failure, Retaliation Against Russia Expected
VeteransToday,
11 February, 2018
[Editor’s note: Yesterday, Gordon and I reported what the world’s media knows but will not say – that the Israeli airstrikes on Syria were a complete failure where no targets were hit and the Israeli planes failed to breach the Syrian air defences, rather, they flew straight into a hail of fire, shit themselves and dropped their bombs so they could make a run for the safety of Israeli airspace – they could run much faster without the encumbrance of heavy weapons loads.
The
official line has the Israelis hitting a dozen targets and destroying
Iranian and Syrian assets, all a lie; a desperate and pathetic
attempt to prop up the ailing Netanyahu regime as it teeters on the
brink of collapse due to the criminal investigations into Netanyahu
and his wife which are drawing ever closer to the point of arresting
and impeaching the Israeli leader.
Netanyahu
launched these airstrikes in a pitiful attempt to draw attention away
from the investigations that look set to destroy him.
Bibi
tried to please his hardcore supporters who are those who believe
Israeli foreign policy, especially towards the Arabs, is best carried
out by high explosives. The failure of these airstrikes leaves Bibi
in an ever more desperate situation, beset by domestic woes and
seemingly unable to win favour by bombing some Arabs, which has
always been highly popular with the right-wing Likudniks he relies on
for support.
Now
we are in a situation where Netanyahu is a desperate man who knows
his time in power is likely drawing to a close; his attempt to use
military force to curry favour has backfired in a major way and worst
of all, he has lost the ability to strike his Arab neighbours with
impunity.
Will
an increasingly desperate Bibi try the military option again, but
this time with weapons that cannot be so easily defeated?
I
am speaking of tactical nukes, of which Israel possesses hundreds and
they have lots of cruise and ballistic missiles to carry them,
missiles with sufficient range to hit anywhere in Syria.
Of
course, Israel isn’t the only one who is so armed, Syria’s ally
Iran also has missiles with the range to hit Israel, thousands of
them in fact; add to those the thousands of short range missiles
possessed by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel is something of a
sitting duck.
Then
there are the Russians, who possess enough missiles to turn Israel
into a wasteland many times over; all of this is without resorting to
the use of nukes, which might be possible, should Israel open that
Pandora’s Box by using them first.
Worryingly,
Netanyahu is crazy enough and will likely soon be desperate enough to
actually resort to use of Israel’s nuclear arsenal to save his own
hide. Putin will know this and the Russian military hate Israel,
points which we hope the IDF generals have made to Bibi.
Perhaps
the craziness of the risks Bibi is running will cause the Israeli
political and military leaders to take action and remove him before
he can start a war that would lead to Israel’s destruction? For the
sake of the lives of tens of millions of Jews, Arabs and others, we
can but hope… Ian]

The
Iranian security chief has commented on the Israeli airstrikes in
Syria on February 10, which triggered retaliatory fire from Syrian
air defense.
“The
Syrian nation proved this time that it will respond to any act of
aggression, as the era of hit and run is over,” Ali Shamkhani, the
secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council told
reporters in Tehran on Sunday, speaking on the sidelines of rallies
marking the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
The
official went on by responding to Israel’s Defense Forces’ report
of attacks against “additional Iranian targets in Syria,”
referring to an alleged Iranian drone in the area.
“The
claim by the Zionists (that they have carried out sorties) to damage
Iranian bases in Syria is a lie,” Ali Shamkhani stated, adding that
Iran had an “advisory, not a military presence” in Syria, the
security official reiterated, denying Israeli allegations that its
warplanes had scrambled in reaction to an Iranian drone.
Shamkhani
explained that no forces would fly military jets to hit a drone.
Israel’s
Attack in Syria
Responding
to the strike, Syrian air defense systems had reportedly opened fire
on Israel.
