Israel should understand killing Russians is different from killing Americans. 5sub |
Irregardless of who carries it out, more Russians will probably be killed when a strike on Iran happens before the years' end. |
Russians helping state sponosrs of terrorism develop nuclear weapons, sure. Of course they are fair game and very legitimate military targets. Any random Russian, no. And if there were Israelis, or even Americans over there helping the Iranians develop Nuclear weapons..or the Syrians, or the North Koreans, I would say the same thing. They are fair game by virtue of thier actions. And its not just alright for the Israelis to do it in my book. Its ok for them, the USA, the Brits, the South Koreans, the Indians..... |

Occasionally I remember a bit of history. IIRC, our (US) CIA Chief of Station in Lebanon was kidnapped a number of years ago by the bad guys. The Chief of Station was tortured for about three years and finally killed. We (the US) were told where to find his battered body. I still remember his funeral at Arlington. The song was an old Cat Stevens* song "Morning Has Broken".......................sort of the Agency anthem for that time. Also I remember when a Soviet diplomat was kidnapped by the bad guys in Lebanon at about that same time. The KGB announced, the day of the kidnapping, their diplomat should returned - unharmed - before sunset of the next day. If their diplomat was harmed or not returned by the designated time, the KGB would kill every member of the doers family. Not just wives, children, mothers, and fathers but every member of their extended family including aunts, uncles and cousins. The Soviet diplomat was returned unharmed the next afternoon. Probably Russia is far kinder and gentler than the former Soviet Union. 5sub *Before he became Yusuf Islam. |
| I would think an attack resulting in russian members being killed would spark quite a fire with the current events involving russia and their new doctrine. Something along the lines of russian boats off Isreals shores and massive weapons sales to Isreals enemies (more so than now) |
