This war is not about oil but about year round shipping access and Navel ports for the Russian Navy. And Chachacha, Israel does not sit on vast oil reserves. Not unless they were just discovered. They have no known in ground reserves. 3 months strategic reserves in under ground tanks only. They are very dependant on OPEC for their oil.

This war is all about access to the Black Sea year round shipping ports, and access to the Southern Oceans. Pull up a map and see where Georgia lies and how much shore frontage they have on the Black Sea. The Russian Navy has had limited port entry since Georgia became an independent state and they want it back. Yes they do want to create the old empire, but this war is about the ports.
