What if things were upside down?

What if things were upside down?

featureLet’s pretend that things are upside down – the U.S. is the best friend of Syria and Russia is the “good guy.”

What would have happened in a situation similar to the one we are witnessing now in Syria?

So our team of experts sat down and wrote an imaginary script.

Here it is in a nut shell.

President Putin is in his dacha and gets the updated details about the chemical massacre in Syria. Ten minutes later Russian navy ships in the Mediterranean get the order to use all they have. Dozens of targets in Syria are hit in minutes.

President Assad is in his bunker and trying to call Putin. There is no answer.

Assad calls other Arab leaders, and promises with tears to surrender his huge stockpile of chemical weapons to the U.S.; “come and take it, I don’t need it,” he says.

iHLS – Israel Homeland Security

But this is an imaginary script. Putin , the only “world leader,” is a friend of Assad and the U.S. is afraid of its own shadow.

In Jerusalem the whole structure ,built for years, about how the U.S. will support Israel in times of real danger – collapses.

The security experts tell the prime minister “we are alone and that changes many parameters.” these two last paragraphs are not part of the imaginary script; they are expressing the feelings in Jerusalem. Prime minister Netanyahu gave his ministers an order to shut up and not express what they think of the way Obama acted. But there are no secrets in Israel, and the words said behind closed doors are very extreme and have a common denominator – a loss of trust in the U.S. as the big ally of Israel.
