Is Russia trying to Curry favor with its Muslim allies who are sending troops to help them in Ukraine ( Syria & Chechens ) by insulting Israel? I don't understand where they are going with this considering Israel has been careful not to criticize Russia.


That implies there's some kind of logic to any of this, and the longer it gooes on the harder it is to accept that there is any logic to Russian actions. The leadership really seems to be a cult and the only logic is an internal logic that makes sense to them. The Soviet leadership, at least by the end of WWII, were rational. They were adversaries, but we knew where they were coming from, what their goals were and how to deal with them. They weren't apocalyptic and they wanted their regime to survive. I don't know WTF motivates Putin's gang any more. They're materialistic AF but at the same time they talk about torching the world if they don't get their way.

I've said it before the whole thing is surreal.

I saw an interview with a Ukrainian CPT who is in the Donbas after fighting around Kiev. He said they go to great lengths to conceal there stuff, (tanks, artillery, vehicles) but he said the Russians just drive right off the road and stop.

No attempt is made to form a defensive posture, no attempt made to conceal their position. So he said they throw a drone up, fix their position and start with the tanks....just incredible.

Today, the #Estonian Parliament will consider a proposal to the government to withdraw its signature on the 2014 border treaties with #Russia.

After the Soviet occupation, the county of #Petserimaa, as well as the Narva suburb were taken away from #Estonia.

And the Israelis are starting to let their weapons be sent from third countries.

ETA: the Estonians again.

Israel does not ban Estonia from delivering Spike anti-tank missiles to Ukraine

Gread job Vlad. Keeping calling Israelis Nazi sympathizers. That'll keep them neutral.

Fairly neutral take on China taking the middle ground:

Foreign Affairs Magazine

Effectively: They stand to gain nothing from Russia invading Ukraine as they are all trading partners, but supporting the West (I.e the USA) would be worthless because it wouldn’t soften US policy toward China.

Very pragmatic move by China. They gain nothing by taking either side.

This will escalate.

The Syrians are not allowed to use their modern air defense systems against Israeli aircraft. Per Russia.

The Russians have threatened to end that understanding.

Why do the Russians choose the "Nazi" rhetoric over their national security interests?

What’s the matter? Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia are all Nazi now? Why is Russia taking their territory?

They're doing with everyone that they think threatens them. E.g. Sweden is making moves to join NATO and so the Russians are calling the Pippi Longstocking author a Nazi. It's a sort of a mirror image of calling them commies at this point, except in their case it's a policy directed by their government.
