'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.

Putin’s probably our smartest current world leader—and highly educated.

Maybe Putin was just looking for an escape excuse

Isreal has been continuously occupied by Sephardic Jews for about 4500 years. But yes, a lot of Russian Jews resettled to Isreal.

I would also say that after what happened in Syria he would prefer to back a winner.

Putin also has a big Islamic population problem. Muslim go radical in ways that Jews do not.

Education does not equal intelligence.

Smart people know that.

The only Russian speaking portion of Uk was the Donbas — the section that voted years ago to leave Uk and join Russia.
Saying that Uk is Russian is like saying that all of Ireland is either Protestant or Catholic — that can get you killed.

True. And some Jews never left since 2nd Temple sonec2,000 years ago, despite persecution by Islamic invaders. Search family Zinati in Pekiin.

BTW:

5 of the victims of Mullahcracy’s missiles last week targeting Bat Yam, were Ukranian refugees.

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.

So do Israel telephones say "Press 1 for Hebrew. Press 2 for Russian?"

If its equivalent to Spanish in the USA, that's a huge cultural influence.
