Akiva Eldar : What will happen if Israel 'defeats' Obama?
Talkback
Title:Who cares about the US (or economy, or democracy)
Name:Uri
City: State: Estonia
Nothing bad will happen to Israel: Israel will find a new friend in Russia that is always anti-US. Everything the US would drop, Russians would take up

So with a friend like Russia, Israelis right will have its go. Russia with its peculiar understanding of democracy would not even notice settlement growth or exterminating of Palestinians. Lieberman could echo Lavrov`s talks about Western double standards as a main obstacle to world peace process, and of course, would prouldy speak about Israeli new MiGG-s and SU-s and how well they compete with F-35 that really are a peace of junk.

Of course, economy would go downhill and remnants of democracy would be disappearing quickly. But it`d be only normal, for all Russian allies have poor economy and a peculiar type of democracy. Who`d care? Not Israeli new oligarchs that were getting richer and richer all the time, for all country`s money be flowing onto their family accounts in Swiss banks.
