Putin is obviously putting the screws to Israel and the US. Continued aid. Push for talks and a cease-fire. Reinforcing the Mediterranean Fleet from the Pacific. Sending enhanced air-defense missiles to Assad.
The last named makes it harder for the Israelis to do what they are doing, but it also would make it harder for the US to set up no-fly zones at some point in the future.
Under normal circumstances, I'd expect our president to back down. But you have to wonder with all these sandals going on, if he might not be tempted to play it tougher than usual in an effort to redirect people's attention from domestic to foreign policy?
