Russia and Israel today signed an agreement on military cooperation. Details of the deal inked by the countries' defense ministers in Moscow were not immediately disclosed. But Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said Moscow was "studying seriously and attentively" the experiences and practices of Israel's military as it modernizes its army. His Israeli counterpart, Ehud Barak, said Israel was "ready to continue sharing experience with the Russian military on fighting terrorism and ensuring security, including by using air drones." Barak also met with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who said, "We have purchased several unmanned aerial vehicles in Israel. We have launched a few satellites in Israel's interests. We are examining the possibility of equipping Israeli airplanes with our instruments and laser equipment." Today's talks came after strains between Russia and Israel over Russian arms sales to the Jewish state's major regional foes, Syria and Iran. Russia has sought to build up a fleet of Israeli-made spy drones since Georgia used such Israeli aircraft against Russia in their brief 2008 war. Russian officials said Israel had already sold Moscow 12 pilotless aircraft and would supply 36 more, worth around $100 million.

For those who had hoped the Russian Federation weren't Zionist.
Good. Now we can stop funding the insane zionists. Let Mother Russia take care of those satanists. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

hope in one hand...
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
