"shocker: David Friedman, Trump's choice for Israel, is a Putin fan."


Learn a lesson from Russia
Vladimir Putin gets it. So does Netanyahu. Forget the rest of the world's leaders.

David Friedman




Russia is going to defeat ISIS. Not with a “coalition” of cowards, freeloaders and hypocrites led from behind by the American president, but all by itself. It will bomb ISIS strongholds, train and arm Syrian soldiers and destroy ISIS resistance until the Islamic State surrenders (unlikely) or ceases to exist (let’s hope).
And, when Russia defeats ISIS, it will have accomplished something that the United States hasn’t done since 1945 nor Israel since 1973: win a war.

Governor Mike Huckabee had one of the most memorable quotes of a very memorable series of Republican primary debates. He referred to war as “killing people and breaking things,” that continues until the loser gives up or is destroyed. For thousands of years, that’s what war has been about. Almost every national boundary in both hemispheres has been formed as a result of a battle followed by a surrender.

BTW, I don't see how letting Syria become Iran's playground inures to Israel's benefits.
