If Russia is truly a Syrian ally... It needs to hand over s300s for the Syrians to use. Otherwise it's just there to protect its own interests like any western nation, which is probably the case. I know this isn't a video game, but that's exactly why deterrence has to be established. Otherwise what Isntrael gets to do is play flight simulator over other countries without any danger whatsoever.

The question is how many they have to spare, I imagine a lot of them are tied up in Ukraine at the moment.

True, but they do need to send a message that them and their allies are under protection. There seems to be little to no consequence for western actions including the concert hall attack in Moscow. Victoria Nuland and gang don't give a shit about Ukrainians. In fact they probably are glad it's Ukrainians getting the brunt of the retaliation and not someone dear to them like isntrael

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see what the response is. Also worth keeping in mind what Iran might do here. They're fairly technologically advanced as well.

Yeah, this is purely subjective but I really want someone to finally make the west understand they have gone too far and there will be consequences for their brutality. The western world should be in outrage over the images coming out of Al Shifa hospital but even if they were it wouldn't matter. Someone else is gonna have to do it.

For sure, good news is that the west can no longer pretend to have any moral high ground when dealing with other nations. The mask is completely off now.
