Your answer makes NO sense. WHAT does that mean?
Give me a couple of examples, perhaps.
Russia is KING over there. NO ONE is even close to them in weaponry, missiles, bombs, etc. WHAT are you trying to say?
You asked me what the draw is toward Russia besides good fur. I said “The lack of surrounding countries with populations who want you dead”
Surely you are aware of Israel’s geographic position in the world?
If you live in Israel nearly everyone country on your border and near borders wishes to see you annihilated. If you live in Russia the surrounding sates are at worse neutral to your existence. Plus Russia is much more friendly to Jews than the USSR.
I know some Americans who emigrated to Israel who simply could not cut it and native Israelis who decided to leave. It’s a pressure cooker existence, and not only because of the constant threat of terror. Let’s face it, and I say this as someone who genuinely loves and respects the Jews, but they are an argumentative and “stiff necked” people. Put five million of them together in one place, including every little subset of Judaic religious practice, and you’re going to get both a spectacular flowering of genius and five million people prone to screaming in each others’ faces on the smallest provocation. It could make even some of the ones who escaped the USSR homesick for a cold autumn breeze and endless grasses on the steppes.
