Quite a few people in this thread seem to think of the Ruskies as good guys, hasn't anyone ever met them on holiday. Rudest people I've ever met.

Can't imagine why anyone would ever want to go there.

It's a bit like the "I'll support anyone playing Man Utd" mentality (one I share incidentally!) - anyone who opposes Israel or supports anyone who hates Israel is fine by them!

Iran hates every square inch of Israel, Russia is in bed with Iran, simple.

I don't think you have that right at all.

I intensely dislike the actions that Israel takes, but I'm not to fond of Russia either.

From my experience, the people who are sympathetic towards Russia, tend to be the people who are most distrustful of our own media's version of events. Russia is usually selling an alternative story to go along with its aggression, and to people who want to believe that we are being fed a load of lies by our government this can be quite seductive.

There is probably some crossover with people who also dislike Israel, but I don't think anyone is supportive of Russia because they are anti Israel (if indeed they are).
She? Is that in the good book?
