IB Times – by Reissa SuRussia is planning to ignite a war in Israel in an alleged contingency plan to trigger a direct military conflict between Hezbollah and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. A French official has revealed the plan as Russia‘s weapon against the U.S. and theEuropean Union amid increasing sanctions on Moscow.
According to WND, the official, who has requested his identity to remain unknown, said Russia’s plan to start a war in Israel was borne out of Russia’s increasing isolation due to Western sanctions. In the past week, the U.S. and European Union issued tighter sanctions to target the Russian economy and pressure Moscow to pull out its troops in Crimea. The new sanctions include restrictions on investments including tourism and Russian Black Sea oil and gas exploration.
The anonymous official further revealed that Russia has been successful in sending Hezbollah a large shipment of Iskandar ballistic missiles and surface-to-air missiles. The convoy of missiles was received despite the alleged efforts of Israeli airstrikes targeting weapons shipped by Russia earlier in December.
Russia has apparently not made any final decision about pushing Hezbollah to attack Israel. However, the French official believes Russia will use a possible conflict in the Middle East to play out the country’s confrontation with the West.
Earlier in the month, Israel had launched airstrikes in Syrian government territory. The Daily Beast reported that Israeli troops have been ordered to blow up weapons supplied to Hezbollah. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bognadov was in a meeting with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah to negotiate peace in Syria and the delivery of Russian weapons to help the group fight ISIS militants.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has noted a significant increase in foreign intelligence activities. In a TASS report, Mr Putin said in a gala night commemorating the Day of Security Service Officers that foreign special services activity is “on the rise” in Russia.
He encouraged the members of the Russian intelligence service to step up efforts to fight terrorism and extremism. Mr Putin reminded the Russian secret service that one of its key tasks is to thwart “any attempts of foreign special services” to deliver a blow to Russia. The Russian president, a former KGB operative, has previously downplayed the threat of a coup as he believes majority of Russians support his leadership.

An anonymous official said…! Well this not-so-anonymous patriot calls BS on this. Russia planning to attack Israel.. I wish. Those weasels could use a good drubbing to puncture their arrogant self importance.
WND? The end!
that guy in the black hat is in every photo i swear!
Hahaha!
No doubt there would be people doing the HAPPY DANCE all over the planet if Russia wiped out the dirty disgusting nest of vile evil known as Rothschild’s Israel….but I have pretty much stopped looking for miracles….
This article demonstrates, that once again, WND is ‘in the bag’ for the Israelis – pure Zionist fear/hate mongering and its smelling more and more desperate. Even the mainstream meatheads I deal with are finding it difficult to swallow the constant stream of lies coming from ABCNNBCCBS FAUX NEWS and WND-bag.
Russia’s controlled opposition. In any case, Putin would never be dumb enough to openly attack Israel. This is just war drums beating again to keep the war rhetoric going in the news. Israel is just poking the Russian bear again with made up intel (using the infamous “anonymous official said” thing again) to see what Russia’s reaction will be. Same shit, different day.
Russia’s DUMA (Congress) is full of those little BASTARDS!!! Russian people don’t all know it either. They change their names and hide like carnelians, and loot the country.
Putin is walking a tight rope and a very thin one at that. He’s trying to keep the reemerged Christian nation on track economically while he’s got those tarantulas still crawling all over the halls of power in Russia. He moves on israel he’ll end up floating down the Volga. Bottom line. He moves too fast they’ll at least try to kill him. Putin grew up in a JEWISH neighborhood, and knows that bunch pretty well.
low intensity warfare is the way to go if he wants to preserve Russia and his own skin. On the other hand if he went on national TV and named all these goons and where they live and what they’ve been up to and their plans we might just see some fireworks all over Russia because right now he has about an 80% approval rating. Compared to what USA has Putin is a “Class Act”. He does need to make his “Secret Society Speach ” as John Kennedy did, only this time name all the bad actors and what they are doing and have done to destroy Russia and other countries as well, including the USA.
