'Israel is almost a Russian-speaking country'

Israel was first settled by Russian Jews who escaped the pogroms. Putin, as a student of history, should know that.

Hmmm... The last ‘Russian’ speaking country Putin pined on about and invaded was the Ukraine...

If I were an Israeli I wouldn’t be too worried though... Putin can’t win that war, so the idea of him starting another is highly unlikely.

America on the other hand will bring Iran to it’s knees in short order, winning this war in a matter of weeks. Unlike Putin who promised to win the Ukrainian war in a matter of weeks... Trump keeps his promisses.

The number of immigrants from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus who have settled in Sacramento California is staggering as well.

Errrrr Vlad, here is what Microsoft’s Chat AI tells me:

In Israel, about 85% of the population speaks English to some degree, largely due to its role in education, business, and international communication. English is taught in schools from an early age and is widely used in signage, media, and government.

As for Russian, approximately 15–20% of Israelis speak it, primarily due to the large wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union in the 1990s.

I wonder if Putin is not interested in getting into a war with the United States but might be interested in selling Iran things to build nuclear sites back up.

Putin has maybe enough to do with Ukraine and could make money needed selling weapons to Iran.

Just a thought.

I’m sure Trump knew Russia wouldn’t get involved.

There is no chance of an Iranina victory or massive arms order at this point, Putin has his own problems. IRAN has an army that would be hard pressed to load up a dozen trucks with 100 men all with AKs and a dozen mags and get them any considerable distance down the road, the officer class is a work from home position for 85% of the manager class. The military service is a welfare program to keep that class of IRAN away from politics or civil service. The senior army, a political social club, gives reports to government civil class that we are great, rah rah, rockets can hit a donkey at 1200km. What they have is a spray and prey rocket program, upgrades (solid state) soviet era air defense, a navy full of Chinese pleasure craft with a machine gun mounted. Are there 2000 threatening members of IRANs military forces, could they raid a base in OMAN, sure. Yes that is about it, the 2000 who took it upon themselves to show up for PT, be professionals in a sea of clowns.

Putin does look out for his citizens.No worries with Putin as President of the Russian Federation, …his successors will be the ones to watch.

Like the US, Russia has their own share of Neo-Cons. I have no worries with President Trump, it’s after he is gone when real troubles begin.

And Moscow had more Mossad agents in it than any city on Earth.

Who speak Russian. Are Russian.

putin is said to be highly defensive of the russian people.

1 in 5 citizens in israel is ethnically russian and even speak russian in their communities.

he wont help iran kill them i dont think.

regardless of what he says in public imho.

the only way i see him bringing russia into a mideast war would be to protect those russians in israel.

or maybe to liberate them from what he sees as israels being a threat to them via their conflict with iran

maybe thats the hook in magogs jaw that draws russia in.

( although im not so sure turkey isnt magog and not russia )

I believe that prior to WW2, the most common European language in Palestine was German. I read an account by an English Soldier stationed there in 1940-41, who said that if Germany had been run by anyone but Hitler, and the Nazis, he believed the Jews in Palestine would have strongly supported Germany over the British Empire.

That’s it why he did it. He has his hands full in Ukraine.

I believe about 15-20% of Israeli Jews immigrated from Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed.
