Putin's plans for Ukraine are very simple. Invade, take it over, change its government and pull back. Like he should have done in the first place in 2014.
He didn't take responsibility for anything, he was a mommy's boy and his mother protected him. He was a writing and a journalist before going into politics. I means why on earth was he first sea lord? Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its somewhat like the three factions in Ireland. The Ulster-Scottish and Celtic-Irish hate each other, have all kinds of insulting names for each other and fight each other. Meanwhile they don't notice the Anglo-Irish controlling everything.
For me its simply exploiting the weakness of the Syrian state to hit targets in the country. If Syria had a coherent state at this point Israel wouldn't be allowed to this by the Americans. Its the same with Lebanon. However a ground invasion or great air war Israel isn't permitted to do by the...

So the US worked to destroy the British/Japanese alliance after WW1 because it saw it is a threat. Now the US supports a British/Japanese alliance when we literally can't support each other at all and it isn't a threat to the US. Well that's just great, go to hell America.
Also the US are putting massive pressure on Turkey and Britain as well. So basically all the powerful nations in Eur-Asia are now actively opposed to the US or have problems with American pressure. Its basically the European Union and the US against the world at this point. If the British shift...
I wouldn't be sure about that, as Israel is an air power, its army is defensive. The Syrian army is much more experienced at this point than the Israel army. So Israel could win some battles/territory, but it wouldn't roll them at this point. I could argue that the Syrian army at this point is...
