It assumes the US was really going to attack Syria and Israel/Russia helped prevent the attack. More like they helped Obama climb down from a position he had no interest being in in the first place. The point though is that Putin's role is well-known. It is celebrated by a certain crowd the world over, the great peace-loving, anti-imperialist Russia prevented US aggression against poor little Syria. Their problem now will be having to add Israel to Russia in that schema. -Original Message- From: A.R. G via Marxism That doesn't sound like much help, it just sounds like the idea happened to come from the Israeli government. It's not like they themselves offered to take in the CW or something. I think calling that help is an exaggeration, more like they just proposed an idea that Obama agreed with. - Amith _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

I wonder if maybe the ulterior motive was to demonstrate that Israel is a reliable ally after all. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

Oren's book, Ally, discloses for the first time that in late August and early September 2013, Israel's then-intelligence minister, Yuval Steinitz, floated a plan for Syria to relinquish its chemical weapons to the Russian government and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received Obama's blessing to move forward with the proposal. full: http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-06-15/israel-helped-obama-skirt-red-line-on-syria _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
