There are 900,000 ex Soviet emigres in Israel. Most came from Russia.

One thing about the Jews. They won’t go as easily this time around as in the 30s and 40s they have a spent the last 70 years perfecting their savage war fighting skills.
This. Jews used to win the Nobel a lot, when it was honestly bestowed. They are smart, and will be ruthlessly efficient and effective when their back is against the wall. Putin had best stay the hell out of the Jew v Arab thing, or Mother Russia will pay a heavy price.
Erdogan...a lot of that sand will turn into glass. The Arabs had best drop the Palestinian thing, and the Religious feud as well. They won't.

Funny that you think Russia could “crush” Israel.

Russia would obliterate Israel. It would be a massacre.

Israel's military isn't built for long operations. Against any larger nation with nuclear capabilities Israel would lose. It has a very specific set of doctrines it is built around. It doesn't mean it can't fight, but it doesn't have the same degree of ability to project power. Israel sits at a precarious geopolitical position, with very little strategic depth overall. The concern about strategic depth is so serious that it drives the entirety of Israel's current foreign policy.

With their 1970s era fighter jets? Mobilizing tanks to invade a foreign land is a long and very visible target on its way to Israel. Good luck with that.

No one is going to obliterate Israel, ever again. The Dome of the Rock will be destroyed, and the New Temple will be built. There is no force man made that can prevent that from happening!

Russia doesn't really have anything the Iranians want to buy. China on the other hand.....

Funny that you think Russia could “crush” Israel.
But Russia would just overpower them in less than a month. Probably way less.
Probably the best sports analogy, which does seem a big tacky in terms of "war":
Israel is like a very good 175 lb MMA fighter.
Russia is, if they choose, a good NFL defensive line. Not one player, the entire front line, in full gear. And not looking to grapple or dance and strike, they would just line up and bullrush. And if they absolutely committed, you could then throw in the entire linebacking group too, all targeting the MMA guy. So sure, you can see the MMA guy (Israel) getting in a quick shot or two, but the end result would be a total mismatch of force.
Tech only makes up so much, before sheer numbers come into play.
And Israel is precisely the sort of country (extremely centralized and coordinated) that stands no chance against a brute force attack. There might be pockets of resistance etc, but no "Israel" a week or two into the invasion. Afghanistan only made trouble because it was so disorganized, there was no central government to smash. You had a bunch of warlords popping up here and there.

But the Iranians do want military hardware, which Russia is willing to sell. Iran and Russia have wide agreeance on numerous strategic issues and have cooperated openly since 2015. Interestingly enough, Iran, China, and Russia performed navel drills in 2020, and Iran and China have signed an investment agreement which includes military cooperation.

They don't take any bullshite from Muzzies and kill them when they need killing, so that puts them ahead of 95% of the rest of the world.

I’m going to sound dogmatic and I understand that and I also understand the ridicule and chastising this response will garner but to me it’s simple: God has made it abundantly clear, Israel is His and it will never permanently fall.

That's great. They also sell technology to China that we've shared with them while openly bragging about it, and they brazenly appeal to evangelicals for support while laughing at their religious beliefs. They also provide financial support for groups in the U.S. that push for open border policies while expressly stating that they want an ethno-state for themselves.
I don't care if people don't support the Palestinian cause, I just don't get people in the U.S. who claim to be patriots also vocally and adamantly supporting Israel. It's weird.
