that a war between Syria and Iran with Israel in southern Syrian will lead to dire consequences for Israel.\u00a0In such a war Iran could shut the Straits of Hormuz as it would interpret that the US ordered Israel to attack Syria as the US is doing in its recent bombing of Syria though the US was attacked in Iraq not Syria.\u00a0This would bring down the entire US and world financial system almost at once, see General MacCaffrey\u2019s analysis in footnote one explaining this.\u00a0This would give us in an instant the Weimarization of the US that started in earnest with the lockdowns that will lead to changes as even now there is unrest in the US military as in Germany in 1933.\u00a0According to Israel Intelligence Official Yakov Kedmi, the US cannot defeat Iran conventionally, and since Iran has nuclear missiles on its submarines which can deliver massive punishment to the US should they think of using nuclear weapons, our interpretation is that neither side will use them.\u00a0Iran has also purchased hydrogen bombs from North Korea.\u00a0Thus, it is checkmate for the US and Israel.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube

rapidly losing patience with Israel over airstrikes against alleged Iranian targets on Syria soil.\u00a0\u201cSooner 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The language, though diplomatic, leaves little room for misinterpretation. By using the term \u201cincluding\u201d about the Syrian government losing patience, Lavrentiev left no doubt that the other \u201cinclusive\u201d party was Russia. This linkage carries over into the not-so-veiled threat of a \u201cretaliatory strike\u201d and \u201cpossible escalation of violence.\u201d In short, Lavrentiev\u2019s warning was as blunt a threat against Israel that could be made short of stating the obvious \u2013 if Israel continues to bomb Syria, Russia will have no choice but to shoot down their planes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001J0QdTkCqGrIYHpU-aml2R0rpOIMEXEWdmndHGpo_5YLKZ5HJXn6yNFdTsb5EHNlzD34LexZBcwYXV-04XKugoSeEGLz4ZN5sJsP7cePIdYhzXO-rHyCNWfE1HlnpAoNMaFxlF06_3K0cex1seQlx4_TpLOcqYyAm-mS71gMngD5Hg8fcHTKff_eC4voWBR1V&amp;c=4Rn1FqP87sjLY6uDRD4YG8RQO-wq9fKLQup55EN87KtlGF07q_Uo6w==&amp;ch=K5WxNrBpxDzgYk16YkMdIbo1W46uxkJylCfeEVeC_WUSXWwr5mZWZg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ALSO ON RT.COMWith US under attack in Iraq, Biden needs to question why America is there at all rather than fight fire with fire<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the moment Russia dispatched its armed forces to Syria in September 2015 to prevent the collapse of the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad at the hands of US-backed Islamist terrorists, it has found itself at the nexus of competing geopolitical games.

As such, Russia and Iran have had common purpose when it comes to stabilizing the security situation inside Syria.

Russia, which recognizes the absolute need for Iranian involvement in Syria, has sought to pressure Iran to reduce its presence along Syria\u2019s contentious border with Israel. But there has been little Russia can do about Iran\u2019s efforts to arm Hezbollah, given that this activity operates in parallel with the resupply of other pro-Iranian forces operating inside Syria. As such, Russia has taken a\u00a0\u201chands off\u201d\u00a0approach when it comes to Israeli military strikes against targets affiliated with any Iranian activity not directly tied to supporting the Syrian government. While Russia has repeatedly cautioned Israel about the destabilizing effect of its airstrikes, Russia has avoided making any direct threats against Israel. Lavrentiev\u2019s statement changes this calculus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001J0QdTkCqGrIYHpU-aml2R0rpOIMEXEWdmndHGpo_5YLKZ5HJXn6yNFdTsb5EHNlzjAW9S0kzjc9JPLz8Mln-F5FsSEV2l6dzBv0E8SfMQQ2pEDpMOjV8nVxJZ6hqZ97iMDAXQkulZNFY0QtCOxcXtPcFYYcrlHDJ6tdKsSAxdNCjB2dBMNNt46aAMboT6tcbxG9TdmBTRyI=&amp;c=4Rn1FqP87sjLY6uDRD4YG8RQO-wq9fKLQup55EN87KtlGF07q_Uo6w==&amp;ch=K5WxNrBpxDzgYk16YkMdIbo1W46uxkJylCfeEVeC_WUSXWwr5mZWZg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ALSO ON RT.COMSyrian air defenses repel \u2018Israeli aggression\u2019 over Damascus, intercept most of the missiles \u2013 state media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Israel has been preparing for a broader conflict with Iran, with<a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001J0QdTkCqGrIYHpU-aml2R0rpOIMEXEWdmndHGpo_5YLKZ5HJXn6yNFdTsb5EHNlz3ZkmbtVM6tMol0aEr29SxKOZyMSbrm_hJIt6wy7iRohfSci4FRDMu8_1D2C_2cVBOR2VdwN8ZQLg4ilC8bcSy2IuzUjkBexnfY1y5YNbScr6iLlhlhuAD6t8bvVOUjp2QGhH8Ih9I21tzrWBTn2ja4Nw4YLUXVOulhIWOGZW5_x08Hc0HvFmzA==&amp;c=4Rn1FqP87sjLY6uDRD4YG8RQO-wq9fKLQup55EN87KtlGF07q_Uo6w==&amp;ch=K5WxNrBpxDzgYk16YkMdIbo1W46uxkJylCfeEVeC_WUSXWwr5mZWZg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0some Israeli security experts<\/a>\u00a0predicting that \u201csouthern Syria could turn into the arena of the first northern war between Israel and the Iranian forces\u201d sometime in 2021. A major calculation for Israel which could govern the viability of such a conflict is how Russia would react. Currently, Russia has stood down its air defense network in Syria and has reportedly prevented Syria from employing advanced surface-to-air missile systems provided to it by Russia. Russia likewise has kept its combat aircraft from operating in areas where they could encounter Israeli aircraft. This policy of restraint seems to have emboldened Israel, which recently increased both the scope and scale of its airstrikes against Iranian positions inside Syria.<\/p>\n<p>By declaring that Russia\u2019s\u00a0\u201ccup of patience\u201d\u00a0will soon run out regarding Israel\u2019s 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\u2019s recent history,\u00a0\u201cbluffing\u201d is not part of the lexicon. It would likewise do well to consider the potential repercussions of what Russian \u201cretaliation\u201d and \u201cescalation of violence\u201d\u00a0might 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Lifschultz<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>LIFSCHULTZ ORGANIZATION, Founded 1899<\/strong><br \/>\nDAVID@LIFSCHULTZORGANIZATION.COM<br \/>\n<strong>Tel: (212) 688-8868<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/operationdisclosureofficial.com\/2021\/03\/05\/russia-sternly-warns-israel\/\">https:\/\/operationdisclosureofficial.com\/2021\/03\/05\/russia-sternly-warns-israel\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55249\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
