You have to wonder if this could all be tied back to Russia. They obviously stand to gain a lot if foreign powers are distracted. So far it's proving quite the boon to have the US interests split between Ukraine and Israel. I haven't seen evidence to suggest this is the case though. I imagine if we had that evidence it would be paraded before the US Congress to make it apparent that Ukraine's struggle is intimately tied to the unrest in the Middle East.
