World War IV: The Israel Russian Alliance

My concern is that Russia may now be far more serious about the war than the Bush Administration. Neither they nor Israel will be concerned about "racial profiling" or political correctness. Both countries know the true meaning of Total War. This alliance is likely sending shockwaves through Arab countries, though none are talking about it openly.

HERZLIYA, Israel – While rejecting U.S. and EU criticism of its anti-terrorism reforms, Russia plans to adopt Israel's counter-insurgency methods in Moscow's war against Chechen rebels.

Russian officials said the government in Moscow has agreed to increase security cooperation with Israel and focus on counter-insurgency. The officials said the cooperation would include Israeli training and instruction on a range of issues, including aviation security and civil defense.
