Jewlicious » Russia supporting Syria militarily. Ring a bell? In the meantime, Israel has recalled its Ambassador to Moscow, Arkady Mil-Man and a planned visit to Israel of Russian deputy foreign minister, Alexander Saltanov, who attended the elections in the Palestinian National Authority as an observer, was suddenly and mysteriously cancelled for no apparent reason. This is a relatively simple way of being able to exert influence on the ME and making one of the key players in any resolution to the conflict, a client beholden to Russian influence (you usually need well qualified teams to monitor, maintain and train the operators of these missile systems). The Haaretz’s original report also suggested that Putin may have felt that elements within Israel somehow influenced the outcome of the Ukranian election and this is payback. www.jewlicious.com /index.php?p=643   (766 words)
