\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Gary, Culver City, California. You\u2019re next on the EIB-Network, hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, good morning, Rush. Thank you so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You truly are a national treasure. Thank you so much. So I\u2019m gonna get right to it. This morning I was looking at my local news before you came on, and I heard a story, I didn\u2019t quite believe it, and it said basically Vladimir Putin is quoted as supporting Israel\u2019s defense of its citizens. And I went, “Really?” I went online, I —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing).<\/p>\n

CALLER: I couldn\u2019t believe it. So I\u2019m just gonna read this to you<\/a>, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How do you analyze that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: “President Vladimir Putin of Russia said, Thursday, that he was closely following events in Israel. Referring to the Protective Edge campaign against rocket attacks originating in Gaza, Putin told rabbis from Israel and Europe, ‘I support Israel\u2019s struggle, which is intended to protect its citizens.'” Where is Barry?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Wait a second. Before we get to Obama in that context, what do you think Putin is doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, he\u2019s doing what he always does. He\u2019s playing both sides. Once again, there\u2019s a vacuum, right? And what have you been teaching us for years? You know, when there\u2019s a vacuum, the bad guy\u2019s gonna come in. I mean, I don\u2019t trust Putin as far as I can throw him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When is the last time you heard Putin or any Soviet Russian leader speak up for Israel?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t remember a time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Now, in what context did Putin do it? <\/p>\n

CALLER: He was speaking to a group of rabbis from Israel and from Europe quoted on Israel National News.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The context was, they have a right to defend themselves.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, when he says that, he then gives himself an automatic explanation for what he\u2019s doing in Ukraine —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Got it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — and Crimea. And at the same time, he is belittling Obama. He\u2019s saying, “Look at me, I\u2019m bigger than Obama. Obama won\u2019t say this about your own ally, and I will.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good gosh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s all kinds of — I mean, I\u2019m glad you caught that because that is a fascinating, that\u2019s a teachable moment, what\u2019s happening there. Meanwhile, what\u2019s Barry doing? Barry is in Austin, Texas, or in Colorado shooting pool, wishing he could accept an offer of a joint and then going to a public theater and making a speech all about how woe is him \u2019cause the Republicans want to sue him. Meanwhile, here\u2019s Putin propping up Israel. And where\u2019s Kerry? John Kerry\u2019s over with the ChiComs playing the guitar, and when he finished there, he flew to Afghanistan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
