Sort of funny and sad but definitely mad.
Israel has been bombing Iranian arms depots in Syria for some time now as the Russians & North Koreans have been supplying Iran for some time and Iran has been sending advanced weaponry to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel sees them as an existential threat (which they are). Israel does not want an Iranian presence in Syria as Irans stated goal is to destroy israel.
Yesterday Israel bombed yet another Iranian missile depot in Latakia near the Mediterranean north of Lebanon. Israel gave Russia notice (the Russians say one minutes notice) Syria fired anti aircraft missiles and anti-missile missiles and struck a Russian aircraft carrying 14 people while trying to shoot down Israeli planes (looks like civilians were not involved).
On the face of it this made me laugh but sad for those harmed as it were.

Some comnentators say Russia is baming Israel to save face.
"Israel acknowledges conducting strike on weapons facility near Latakia, but says Syria fully responsible for downing Russian spy plane after Moscow threatens countermeasures"....

It's the standard American recipe for nicknames. I guess Oz has become Americanized. |

The actor who plays Michaelia Cash is a great talent.
There is a one minute response from the Senator from Kenya originally and now SA but couldnt get it : its hilarious _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |
