WHY DID ISRAEL HIT A RUSSIAN AIR BASE?
The Hemimm Air Base in Syria was attacked by Israeli forces yesterday, just an hour after an Iranian 747-200F cargo plane had landed there - believed to be carrying weapons for Hezbollah.
This follows Israel finding stacks of Russian weapons in Hezbollah hands in southern Lebanon.
The weapons discovered included shoulder launched anti-air weapons and launchers as well as small arms and rifles.
Of course everything Russia does to support Iran is all about Russia distracting us from the war in Ukraine - its overwhelming goal.
If we help Ukraine defeat Russia we also defeat Iran and force it to realise it’s very much on its own and its behaviour will be less aggressive.
Russia tries to cause as much trouble for the west as it can while it persecutes the war on Ukraine. It needs us distracted and worried more about oil prices and the security of Israel than it does arming Ukraine to win the war.
Russians are masters at the art of distraction.
We should never forget it.
