Despite Israel having 100 fold more influence and even decision making power over America compared to Russia this thread will do more numbers.
There's absolutely no comparison.
Can you imagine Putin coming to congress to do a speech and getting that many standing ovations by the entire congress?
Can you imagine if a Russian lobby as powerful as AIPAC has been for decades had 1/10th of the power for even a few months how the media would have reacted?
Keep your eyes on the ball!!!
That doesn't mean ignore this, but don't put more importance on this than that.
