But that plane crash a few weeks ago? That was a PR disaster for Russia and it flipped a couple of Europeans to the anti- side in Obama's ongoing sanctions muddle. Russia not giving a fuck about PR relations in '08 evidently does not mean that in '14 they can comfortably bypass the whole concept. Israel not giving a fuck now (or for that matter in '08) may be trouble in 10 years, or 20, or never. But it wouldn't cost them much to at least say semi-friendly things to the world while they continue to secure and expand their borders.
