For decades, the USSR made its living by selling weapons. Apparently they still have large stockpiles; only now they need foreign capital to bolster their commercial sector. So, if Syria’s willing to pay…
Weapons sale is a key, if not major support of the Israeli economy, to “third world” nations. BTW, until recently, a majority of Israeli citizens were from, or first generation descendants, of Russian, or “Soviet Block” refugees. Maybe the “mental process” is just carryover??
One major component of the income was refurbishing Russian “Hind” helicopters and re-selling them, so selling TO Russia, no, but FROM Russia?

And this, right or wrong, has to do with this cartoon? Unless you are suggesting the Israelis are selling to Russia or Syria???
