Earlier this week, I reported that there is talk of Israel selling advanced weapons systems to Ukraine and Georgia in response to Russia selling the S-300 missile defense system to Iran. Vladimir Putin has taken notice, and the leader of the world’s only superpower is warning Israel against making such weapons sales.

Speaking to official state media in Russia, Putin said that any such deals between Israel and Ukraine would be “counterproductive” and would “only cause a new round of hostility.”

“The death toll would rise, but the result would not change,” Putin was quoted as telling Rossiya, the official state-run television channel.

…

“It’s a choice for the Israeli leadership to make, they can do what they see necessary,” Putin said.

Something tells me that Putin doesn’t really want a direct confrontation with Israel. He just wants money from Iran. Perhaps we should offer to  buy the S-300 instead?
