Possibly a warning to Israel to stay out of any future conflict.
How would that be possible when they are neck deep in all these hot spots?….
That would be up to the Zionist Secular Government of Israel to decide, fight for the USA or stay out of WWII. I don’t think Russia cares two twits about Syria, they do care if Israel uses it USA made hardware to attack their naval base in Tartus.
