I’m surprised the Russians would say anything about Israel in the context of what’s going on, however there may be a reason. Russia wants something from someone else in the Middle East and one price for whatever it is they want was this statement regarding the Golan Heights. (Russia also has a vote on the security council so this is probably a preliminary to some action in the UN.) Russia isn’t about to do anything in the area. But the way the Muslim mind works is, “See? This big, respected guy says so therefore we are empowered to do X.” And, statements like this carry some weight with, probably, the Iranians.
Russia is prepping for sanctions which may include being banned from the dollars settlement system. This may mean they’ll need others to launder their money for them or to buy for them and transship whatever they need. Sanctions may also mean they’ll have to ship their mining and agricultural products to intermediaries who can then resell them for much needed foreign exchange. All of that is going to cost the Russians some diplomatic capital.
See my post 36.
Trouble with sanctions ; the more the US pushes sanctions the more other look for another currency. Another world currency spells big trouble for the US, as all of its debts come due, forcing the US into bankruptcy. And Americans into utter poverty.
