By Deception Thou Shall Make War

Russia could easily supply Ansarullah (Yemen) [1] with enough fire power to down Israeli/US F35’s and thus send a message about asymmetric warfare to the former United States, too. However, based on Russia’s complex relationship to Israel (Olim on aliyah + millions of Russian emigrants to Israel; plus Russia’s financial entanglements with Israel, example Alfa-bank AB Holding and Israel’s Central Bank) that seems somewhat unlikely.

Or does it? There is a more interesting story.

Long long before Russia’s SMO Special Military Operation, Israel was sending weapons via the Ukraine to Africa, to support wars in Africa spawned mainly by the CIA. It is a history going back many years, where Israel was exporting weapons on behalf of the CIA (and USAID) via the Ukraine, to Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia and other conflicts in North Africa and the Sahel, to support western Neo-liberal war policy and CIA regime change operations there.

Yes, for many years, Israel by its Ukraine proxy was acting as the weapons dealer intermediary between the CIA and African insurgencies, where the CIA could not legally on the cards export weapons to those African insurgencies.  While Israel could receive just about any weapon asked for from its US sponsors, Israel could not be seen to directly export weaponry to African insurgents working on behalf of the west.  So… the most cost-effective solution?   Ukraine arms dealers, of course.  Well-known for corruption, the Ukraine’s arms dealers are only outdone by the Kiev regime’s own money-launderers.

Now, Israel is supplying weapons by other surreptitious means to the Ukraine, and that cannot please Russia, despite its affinity for Israel…  Link: https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israel-pressured-to-deliver-million-in-strategic-materials-t

Kiev spin on the Israeli supply of weaponry appears here:

​Israel is Likely Sending Captured Weapons to Ukraine As Vengeance For russia’s Support of Hezbollah | Defense Express

Israel Defense Forces had seized 88,500 articles of weapons and military equipment during operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria

Bottom line, Israel’s duplicity is known to Russia and perhaps, just perhaps, Russia has by its own means supplied advanced defense capability to Ansarullah?

[1] Frequently referred to by the western propaganda press as “Houthi’s”, Ansarullah Yemen or Ansarallah is the correct representation for the government of Yemen.
