New Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen signaled a policy shift on Ukraine in his 1st speech hinting the new government will take a more pro-Russian line. He said he will speak on Tuesday with Russian FM Lavrov, the first such call since the SMO began. We’ll see where this goes. Even as a Palestine supporter, Israeli politicians are known to be very rational and calculating. I personally think that this latest announcement, if followed through on, could be very significant

    I think it’s a matter of jumping ship

      That is impossible. No other country will ever prop them up to the absurd extent that the US does and without external support the Zionist regime can’t survive. They are doing this because they like to play as many sides as they can, and they know the US and Europe will never punish them for it because Israel is the one country for which western support is unconditionally guaranteed, it is too important for Anglo-European imperialism in West Asia.

      Ukraine is a failed state and dead weight, its economy is in ruins so it produces nothing that you would want to trade for, and it is extremely pushy diplomatically and constantly demands you send them money and weapons, whereas good relations with Russia have significant value, especially since if those break down there is a good chance that Russia may start being much more active in helping and enabling Syria to defend itself against Israel’s aggression.

      So don’t read too much into this. It’s just realpolitik. The US will collapse as a state before it ever cuts its umbilical cord linking it to the Zionist occupier.

      To where though? They should know no one will prop them as much as even dying USA will.
