I shld have ignored the bit he seized on. It's not worth getting hung up on. And now he's grabbed you as well!

It's not important. It's just a spoiler.

But, while I'm here (not for long), as Sleboda points out some in the Russian government prefer Israel to Iran. And others probably lean the other way. And still others - if there's anybody left -subscribe to the notion, "A plague on both their houses".

But something happened in Syria that resulted in Russia kicking Iran and Hezbollah out of Syria. And eventually Russia lost Syria. That's what we should be focusing on. In my, not so humble, opinion. Eyes on the prize.
