Putin aligns with Israel and finds a new way to deny reality
Paul Craig Roberts
John Helmer reports that Putin said he supports the “unconditional security of Israel” and that the Russian-Iranian treaty “did not envisage military cooperation.” Is this Putin’s green light for a US/Israeli strike on Iran?
Why does Putin support the security of Israel but not of Iran? Israel is the aggressor, not Iran. Iran is a buffer for Russia. Israel is a threat.
Putin offered his ideas to Netanyahu and Trump on how to resolve the “problem.” Putin said, “In my opinion, in general, such a solution can be found.”
Putin does not understand that the problem is Greater Israel. Iran is the last Muslim country with the capability of resisting the Israelization of the Middle East. Israel has had a target on Iran for many years, and the American whore media has succeeded in demonizing Iran in the hearts and minds of the American people.
Putin’s foolish statements putting distance between Russia and Iran removes the only real constraint on a US/Israeli war with Iran.
Such a war could soon begin. Gilbert Doctorow and the Washington Post report that Israel’s supply of missiles for its air defense are being rapidly depleted by sustained Iranian attacks. Israel faces the possible humiliation of having to sue for peace in about a week to ten days or use its nuclear weapons. This prospect is a huge incentive for Netanyahu to get Trump into the war and for Trump to oblige him.
Putin stands aside from Iran
From John Helmer:
Putin has given a green light:
The Kremlin has finally ( 14:30) got around to posting the full Russian text of the press conference; there is still no official English text.
Putin also reveals that he arranged with Netanyahu not to hit the Bushehr reactor where there are 200 Russians at work: “We have agreed,” Putin said at the presser, “with the leadership of Israel, which will ensure their security.”
Finally, according to this Q&A:
“K.Talby: The second part of my question It also concerns Iran. There is a Strategic Partnership Agreement between Russia and Iran. It does not provide for the protection of Iran from the outside by Russia, but still there is a question of weapons.
Given the severity of this situation, Are you ready to provide new weapons to Iran so they can defend themselves from Israeli strikes?
Vladimir Putin: You know, we once offered our Iranian friends to work in the field of air defence system. The partners did not show much interest at that time, that’s all.With regard to the Strategic Treaty. the partnership you mentioned about, there are no articles related to the defense sphere. That’s the second point. Third. To us our Iranian fFriends haven’t asked for that. So there’s almost nothing to discuss.
K.Talbi: You will allow me just a clarification?
Vladimir Putin: Yes, please.
K.Talbi: You still operate, if I’m not mistaken, S-300 and the modified S-200, so that in relation to air defence, Russia plays a role in the defence of Iran.
Vladimir Putin: You know, it’s not at all. Because our proposal is another: create systems – not separate deliveries, but systems. We are at the point where in the end… We once discussed, but the Iranian side didn’t show especial interest in it, and it all stalled. As for individual supplies: yes, Of course, we carried out these deliveries in our time. It’s not anything unrelated [related?] to today’s crisis. It was what they call it, regular cooperation in the military-technical sphere, and within the framework of international norms. Nor has Iran asked us for anything that would violate the well-known norms under which the signature of the Russian Federation — we didn’t do anything. We have always stayed within the normative, international regulatory framework. “
