Its pretty obvious the US has given Russia an offer it can’t refuse while Israel is showing the Ruskies that payback is a bitch (anti tank missiles used by Hezbollah) and is supplying serious technical know how.

Which leads to the question why? I suspect a deal has been done under the table. So what does the US get? Russia not getting its nose out of joint over Israel hitting Iran and one might suspect, putting Turkey back in its box.
Although an ally, the ‘Republic’ might be getting too big for its shoes.

So who looses? The average Joe playing out regional politics.
