LIEBERMAN TO PUTIN??? WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE?
The story goes FM Lieberman arranged to talk to Putin about
Russian arms sales to Syria
I have had hard time believing this was the main topic or
even the real reason Lieberman asked for the meeting; side note... it's
interesting that Putin agreed!
The typical reaction to a FM wishing to have an additional
meeting would be with his or her counterpart; in this case Russian Deputy Prime
Minister Zubkov.
So, why did Putin agree and was arms sales to Syria, not the
number one topic on the Israeli PM's list right now, really the issue?
If you look at the Israeli public messaging campaign of the
past few weeks, you may come to the conclusion this "short notice /
unofficial / meeting was part of that continuing messaging plan.
Did PM Lieberman make a point to let Putin hear right from
Lieberman's lips to his Putin's ears how serious Israel
is about Iran
Did he waste a one on one meeting with Putin to discuss
something as old and worn out as Arms Sales?
Here is the next interesting question that will not be answered by a media announcement!
How did Putin answer?
To me, the reaction of Putin to this meeting is far more
important than the real reason it took place.
I think we will see some indication in the near future.
Is Putin now in a position that he has to chose sides?
Did he get the " You are with us or you are against
us" speech?
Interesting event to say the least.
