The Russians and Israelis aren’t that chummy.
Russia is chatting with Cyprus, however. Cyprus is feeling leaned on by the Turks and needs another big brother. Israel already has a base there.
Enh. That can change. We need a Plan B. Russia needs to make the US sweat. Arabs are better for that, because they have oil. But on the other hand, they’re nuts, and that’s bad for business. So the lack of chuminess between Israel and Russia, while a present fact, might not be a future one. Russia and Turkey have been rivals since Peter the Great. Since we’re no longer chummy with Turkey, Russia is a natural alternative. But personally, I would prefer India as a best buddy.
