Good article. Still I think to change U.S. for Russia is an exaggeration. As horrible as Obama & Co. can be, Russia is still worse.
Russia is an Empire as it's always been, ask residents of any neighboring country. Besides, Russia sells weapons and nuclear technology to Muslim world that brings her trillions of dollars. Finally Jewish religious/moral values are much closer to American than to Russian ones.
But some upgrade of relations with Russia will certainly be good to Israel. The most important thing that Israel promote independent policy and not be a puppet of US, Russia or any other world power.
