I still think you're overestimating it. The Crimea is a big, expensive boondoggle for Russia. That was readily evident to anyone with a basic understanding of geopolitics. However, the Falklands were a big, expensive boondoggle for Argentina and the UK and both parties eagerly engaged. For Galtieri, it was a distraction from the pigfuck he'd made of the economy. For Thatcher, it was a distraction from the pigfuck she'd made out of the employment situation. Putin didn't take Crimea because it was a money-making venture, he took it because it gave him a nationalist flag to wave and distract people from domestic issues. Isolation never hurts leaders. Take a look at North Korea. As far as China, China don't give a fuck about the European side of things and besides, they trade a lot more with Kazakhstan than they do with Russia. Gives them a proxy where anything Russia does doesn't matter. None of which has much to say about Israel, whose primary trade partner is the United States, and whose primary exports are weapons bits and cut diamonds. You're talking about an economy in which Israel is the clean end of Lord of War and Blood Diamond respectively. A few dead brown kids aren't gonna nudge that an inch.
North Korea doesn't have an economy. Russia does, but it's shrinking and we stuck sanctions on all the banks (except the big one, since god forbid we actually suffer a bit to make them suffer). As I said, Putin's sitting just fine. But there have to be some Russian financiers and CEOs getting worried. -- It really may not matter to Israel. They get what weapons they need from us anyway, and are continuing to do so. Crazy hypothetical for fun: Israel continues to piss the world off so much that the bad/good Gaza polls of the American people swing even farther toward Palestine. At what point does the 2016 election have a (small) anti-Israel component to it? Would that seriously cost that candidate too much money to even consider it?Isolation never hurts leaders. Take a look at North Korea.
