Makes me wonder if they are really fighting Russia on behalf of Ukraine or just using this as a good chance to murder-death-kill some Syrian mercenaries...

I hope they get to pass on the IDF's teaching points covering IED offensive/defensive tactics

As long as they put ordinance on the right target I don't think it matters much. Meanwhile, the DPRK has a lot of soldiers who would be happy to just work for food.

The 3 C's

https://israelradar.com/iranian-uav-...-drone-strike/

The subtleness in stating "the US raised a white flag in nuclear talks with Tehran", belies the concerted effort by successive democratic administrations to enable Iran, while protesting conflict with Iran since 1979. This avoidance policy under BHO, performed expertly well on their behalf, and is culminating with Biden, the decoupling with Israeli can only lead to great conflict.

If thats true, then the math, as is now being exampled in Ukraine is based in "big" Power competition, leading to crisis, resulting in conflict. That appears imo/ymmv, as short term policy failure acceptance, for the long term result of the destruction of Israeli or the goal of protract limited warfare in the mideast.

Viewing the recent withdrawal from the lens of Afghanistan, can anyone present a justification that would argue the policy decision to withdraw in such an extreme fashion, was more related to long term policy - the EU/NATO regarding Russia Intel, rather than a short term goal of ending a 20 year cycle of war?
