Dann astutely notes that “by drawing Russia into the picture, Israel has sent a message to the U.S. that it is not the only player.”

The Israeli prime minister’s “secret” visit to Moscow on September 7, whose purpose, according to Israeli sources, was to persuade Russia not to supply the S-300 missile system to Iran, http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1113570.html indicates that that in Israel’s view, the United States is no longer, as has been suggested, “the world’s only superpower.”
