  1. If the grossly inferior Russian air force tried a NFZ against Israel it would be great live target practice for IAD F35s with plenty of US support. (Previous use of BVR missiles in much older wars helped develop US BVR doctrine.) Russia threatening Israel would enrage US Christians with droll results, especially as Russia lacks power projection with a pathetic navy, overstretched ground forces and an air force that neglected aircrew training for decades. OTOH Israel cannot afford to base foreign policy in the shifting sands of the Middle East on conventional morality. Russian Israelis especially have no interest in what happens to Europeans or anyone else not them or their kin. The fate of Ukrainians is academic to Tel Aviv as it should be because Ukrainians are (mostly) not their people. That's pragmatism, not malice. Israel is infested with Russians of dubious loyalty. If Ukraine loses Israel will gain Ukrainian Jewish escapees which is a huge net demographic win for the Israeli ethnostate. The sooner Israel and Iran go to open war (they're nearly there in Syria) and reroll the Middle East/Persian Gulf dice the better. Iran can never reform (if protesters sufficiently irk the mullocracy it can simply kill them all with religious approval) and has a religious obligation to jihad so that leaves war to periodically readjust the strategic relationship which is what most wars really do. War would damage the Iranian economy and make power projection into Syria unaffordable. Bonus would be skyrocketing oil prices to force more of the world off the Islamofascist/Russian oil teat which dominates global policy so far. Oil is the key strategic vulnerability of the democratic West.
