2024-10-11 | Is Israel at War with Russia After Strike Near Russian Base in Syria
Silicon Curtain - A podcast by Jonathan Fink
2024-10-11 | This news is a week old, but more details are coming out, so it’s worth taking a deeper dive into the Israel strike near the Russian air base in Syria. The full impact of this has also not been appreciated, I feel, I certain sections of the media, so let’s jump into this story. ---------- Is Israel at war with Russia? Well, frustratingly this is a no, yes answer to the question. Is it formally at war? No. Does the attack on Russian munitions being delivered to Iran constitute a declaration of war? No. Will Russia see it as such? Again no. But this is not a war like WWII or the Cold War. It’s a war without rules, where acts of aggression, terror and provocation are carried out without restraint and without rules. Russia is arming and conspiring with Israel’s enemies, of that there is no doubt. Russia is providing deadly aid; in the full knowledge it will be used by the proxies of it’s allies Iran to seek to slaughter Israeli civilians. Russia indeed has close ties with these proxy forces sowing death, terror, and chaos in the region, and Russia is fully cognisant of their strategies and techniques. Russia has probably assisted them in training as well as the provision of the materials of death. So yes, this really is a kind of war, and Russia is a full and willing participant in it. The grey zone war of sabotage, illegality, cyber and informational attacks, and the warm war of assassination and provocation. WWIII may not resemble ‘hot’ wars of the past, but may play out in this warm, grey zone of perpetual aggression, subversion of international institutions and attacks in the informational space. ---------- Sources and recommended reading: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/03/israeli-strike-suspected-near-russian-air-base-in-syria-whi/?ICID=continue_without_subscribing_reg_first https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/04/world/middleeast/israel-strikes-russian-airbase-syria.html https://english.enabbaladi.net/archives/2024/10/israeli-strikes-approach-russias-interests-in-syria/ https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1956833/israel-attacks-russian-khmeimim-airbase-syria https://cepa.org/article/israels-decapitation-strikes-leave-russia-trembling/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
