Original title: The situation in Ukraine has escalated, Israel has helped Russia, why is it so close to Russia?
Israel, the loyal little brother of the United States, fell to Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian crisis! I have to say that not only is it smart, but I also know that Zhi En Tu Bao is a nation with feelings! So Israel imports oil and gas resources from Russia, which may be one reason why Israel has turned to Russia, and another reason is that Israel's current bombing of Syria and Lebanon is a common thing, and if russia is sanctioned, it is not equivalent to refuting itself? So Israel is very smart and emotional!
Two days ago, it was reported that Israel told the Baltic countries that it had previously sold you some high-tech weapons developed by Israel, and I heard that it now wants to resell these weapons to Ukraine, and it does not agree, if you sell these weapons, you will not do business with you in the future.
Everyone has seen that Israel is cruel enough, Israel not only does not sell weapons to Ukraine itself, but even the weapons he sells to other countries are not allowed to resell to Ukraine, which is really contrary to the big brother United States. Why? Because Israel and Russia also have very good relations, many friends may not imagine, because Israel and the United States are wearing a pair of pants, how good is the relationship between Israel and the United States? Israel is in the land of four wars, surrounded by enemy countries, and it has been difficult for Israel to survive safely in recent years without the strong support of the United States. Even on the issue of peace in the Middle East, a few years ago the United States was still in the role of an intermediary, a mediator, and in the past two years, the United States has long ripped off the fig leaf and fully supported Israel.
While Israel and the United States have close ties, sometimes their immediate interests diverged. Ukraine is a good example. The entire Western bloc, with the exception of Israel, is now responding strongly to the Russian threat. Israel, one of America's most valued partners, is still going its own way. It seems that for the time being, the United States does not have any special opinion on Israel's attitude, but in the future, if Russian-Ukrainian relations deteriorate and the West is determined to punish Russia more, the attitude of the United States toward Israel may change. Although Israel is unlikely to choose a side between Ukraine and Russia, if the United States forces Israel to do so, Israel is likely to align itself with the United States, at the expense of some of its interests with Russia.
On the other hand, Israelis are notoriously rich, and for Russia, economic problems are a long-standing problem, and since 2014, Western countries led by the United States have increased economic sanctions against Russia, making the Russian economy worse and worse. In such a state, if you can cooperate with rich Israel, it will certainly be good for the upgrading of Russia's economy. The Staunch allies of the United States in the Middle East, one Israel, one Saudi Arabia, in fact, the relations between these two countries and Russia are very good, Saudi Arabia and Russia are both oil producers, and there is also a lot of cooperation in controlling oil prices. So at the critical moment of the situation in Ukraine, Israel fell to Russia's side.
