2024-10-11 | This news is a week old, but more details are coming out,

so it’s worth taking a deeper dive into the Israel strike near the
Russian air base in Syria. The full impact of this has also not been
appreciated, I feel, I certain sections of the media, so let’s jump into
this story.
----------
Is Israel at war with Russia? Well, frustratingly this is a no, yes
answer to the question. Is it formally at war? No. Does the attack on
Russian munitions being delivered to Iran constitute a declaration of
war? No. Will Russia see it as such? Again no. But this is not a war
like WWII or the Cold War.
It’s a war without rules, where acts of aggression, terror and
provocation are carried out without restraint and without rules. Russia
is arming and conspiring with Israel’s enemies, of that there is no
doubt. Russia is providing deadly aid; in the full knowledge it will be
used by the proxies of it’s allies Iran to seek to slaughter Israeli
civilians. Russia indeed has close ties with these proxy forces sowing
death, terror, and chaos in the region, and Russia is fully cognisant of
their strategies and techniques.
Russia has probably assisted them in training as well as the provision
of the materials of death. So yes, this really is a kind of war, and
Russia is a full and willing participant in it. The grey zone war of
sabotage, illegality, cyber and informational attacks, and the warm war
of assassination and provocation.
WWIII may not resemble ‘hot’ wars of the past, but may play out in this
warm, grey zone of perpetual aggression, subversion of international
institutions and attacks in the informational space.
