It's all a bluff. The global economy will immediately collapse. It would be suicidal. Iran and North Korea must stand up to those that would handicap their rights as sovereign nations. As North Korea well knows, only nukes and missiles will afford a nation protection from aggression.

Iran has systematically attacked the United States for thiry years.  Not to mention many other nations, killing innocent people through out the world.  Through terrorist netorks, Iranian Guard and other proxies they have bombed embassies, barracks, ships and neighboorhoods.  ; They also planned the assasination of a Saudi diplomat on US soil.   Russi a doesn't care about Iran.  Russia simply tries to talk tough and act as though they have any influence for their citizens.  In reality, Russia is an impotent old man that likes to pretend he is still important.  Don't believe me?  Then why does USA have missles all around Russia now?  If Russia had any influence or power like the USSR days, that wouldn't be the case.   The US, Israel, France and UK (along with China secretly) are taking out Iranian scientist and hurting the computer systems of Iran's programme.  Just recently, the US landed a secret weapon disguised as a Drone in Iran.    The US and its Allies are going to dismantle Iran very differently than they did with Iraq.  There will be no full scale war folks.  The US will make Iran implode from within, and Russia knows there isn't a damnn thing they can do about it- even if they really cared. Buddy the CANCER with in  USA corrupt banking system, 50 million on food stamps, 1 in 4 houses in foreclosre, HIGH unemployment (out sourcing jobs) A DEBT out of control. Wall street taking over the white house military The ZIONISTS have the MEDIA all sewn up. Keeping the average kin unaware whats happening. Fighting WARS for the 1%. Using the poor to fight their wars. So when a country is BROKE like the USA lets take over other countries their resources and give the PROFITS to the 1%.. Theres NO DOUBT ww3 is comming. When its all over we all suffer but in the end their will be NO ISRAEL.. Once that problem is taken care of there will be WORLD PEACE

Russia can help restore peace in the middle east by providing Iran with S300. Western goverments always have two sides. When they are seriously threatened, they will start talking human rights, peaceful negotiation, geneva convention, human values, etc. People are fed up with continous wars instigated by bankers and zionists. After experiencing this unipolar menace, people all over the world are really nostalgic about the Soviet time. In the past, some countries stayed away from Soviet Union because they were told of communist danger. Now Russia is different. Almost all countries except some in Europe and North America will be more than happy to accept Russian umbrella provided that Russia starts behaving like a super power. WE ARE FEDUP REALLY!. And unlike Soviet Union, it will not cost you anything, because others want your friendship and not the otherway around (meaning you don't have to buy loyalty by paying something, that is exactly Americans are doing now) Agree with your absolute correct comments, yes Russia should have agreed honouring the signed contract ,that was misjudgement of Medveav whom were tricked to dishonour . on the other hand reading comments of joggler4life,it is poorly expressed , typical superficial ,non-founded like CNN , typical US opinion of world balance . yes if you would wish to stop the barbaric warmongers , you have to stand up against them. Dicky Chainny ,were another war criminal ,whom should be brought up to Human Rights Courts for explanation, nevermind the whole previous administration,they have bloods of Iraqi's on their hand .Nevermind American huge fire power, they would have plenty loss as well , one should not forget they fought  Sadam H,and his western allies ,where they were informing meter-meter by sattelites and given armouries ,almost with bare hands , they can do it again. 

. If you see "Atossa UNREGISTERED" is it NOT my post. A troll has commandeered RT's comment section, usurped my PERSIAN name and is spamming perversion. This is a disgusting example of demented perverted warfare jew/nwo agents engage in. . .

Iraq U.S.A. attacked Iraq because of " weapons of mass destruction". After U.S.A. pulled out of Iraq what can we say about this business venture of U.S.A. ? We can say that there were no „weapons of mass destruction”. Sadam is dead. Iraq has been looted by U.S.A. and its allies of its ancient artifacts. Oil contracts have been awarded to China, England and France (CEF) . 100000s of innocent Iraqi civilians have been killed. 10000 dead soldiers among U.S.A. and its allies. All of Iraq has been destroyed, infrastructure, telecommunications e.t.c. Only the oil fields are fine for the CEF.  Unrest is continuing in Iraq bringing every day new casualties. I suppose  in my naivety that U.S.A. doesn't hold itself responsible for its transgressions in Iraq but that the "Axis Of Evil" is responsible for everything. Lilby a U.S.A. , G.B. ,France, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, planned, financed, trained, equipped and  gave air support to the "dissidents" in Libya. They in turn "liberated" Libya and killed colonel  Muammar Gaddafi , his son and many of his followers. The air support (no fly zone) to the "dissidents"&nb sp; "brought democracy" to Libya and killed 100000 of innocent Libyans in the process. U.S.A. , G.B.and France have in their pockets lucrative concessions to the Libyan oil. All that U.S.A. et al. wanted was to save "innocent" Libyans from being killed by the government forces of Libya. The "innocents"/"di ssidents" were a rag tag army of dogs of war from everywhere, mostly al-Qaida fighters. We are witnesses  to how this  abominab le business venture of U.S.A. is turning out. The "liberated" Libyans are disgrunted with the "liberators". They don't see democracy anywhere in sight, they don't live better that before (in fact quite the opposite) and they are sick to their guts with all "good" that U.S.A. and its henchmen have brought them. Syria Wh y should U.S.A. change anything if it worked for Iraq and Libya. The only problem is that the Russian Federation and China are not sitting on their thumbs as they did for Iraq and Libya but are making diplomacy work for  them. Iran That is a chapter that has yet to be written. If the Russian Federation doesn't do what it should, the Iraq an Libya scenarios will be reenacted. 

These comments are frightening in their naivety.  Do many of you REALLY think that if the USA evaporated tomorrow that the world would get along in harmony?  Do you really think the USA is the world's aggressor?  Do you really think that China and/or Russia will be kind stewards of the world if they are left in charge?  Do you really think that the middle east - a region that has been perpetually racked by conflict strife and wars for thousands of years by now will reset to peace if the USA disappears?
I think people are angry about a lot of things that might be fair to be angry about.  As an American, I certainly wish I could have a new government and that we could reset a lot of things overnight. That does not make the USA the evil of the world, the world is just full of plenty of evil without us.  Maybe since most of you seem to want to fixate on the things you don't like about the USA, you entirely disregard and miss the very real evils present in other countries which you do not want or need to see.  It is easier to blame the USA for the problems of the world and feel better about it.  Be careful what you wish for.  I do not believe that the USA is causing most of these problems, and their fall will not fix any of these problems, either.

If you think Russian missiles can stop the U.S. Air Force and Navy..then you are clueless. And this moron Lavrov, is the same moron saying that the U.S. would die in Afghanistan, as the Soviet Union did. A very big difference between U.S. Military and the Russian military. Poor Iran, has not learned the lessons of Saddam or any of the other countries in the region. Keep taunting the U.S. and they will see what happens. These dictators need to go..

The Russians cannot be trusted, the Americans are surrounding them and yet they refused to honor their contact to sell the S-300 defensive missile to Iran. Some have speculated that Medeved is Jewish, which would explain this.

If the Russian Federation 'loses' 10 complete S300 systems to Iran  there will be no problem anymore. Things won't get out of hand if Iran has the capability to severely punish all its enemies in case of an attack on its ships or territory. Speak softly and carry a big stick, wasn't that Roosevelt's policy.

The message thus far from Russia regarding IRAN and SYRIA is quite clear. Only morons would not understand. Well done Russia. I think Lavrov is a good man. Russia's concerns are indeed quite reasonable. I have no idea who controls the US and it is a problem. Whoever or whatever controls the US government must be criminally insane.

"The only solution, as I see it, is to hasten the demise of the U.S. as it currently stands. Perhaps then we might all have a little peace."-may be. But the worse
situation inside USA, the more agressive they become outside.  Victorious war in the name of  "Democracy". The tested expedient of the rulers to divert people from domestic problems...

I'm sure the U.S. and its henchmen can inflict all of the terrible things some posting here have indicated. And yes, based on their record, lay waste to Iran. But as I've said before, at what cost? The U.S. doesn't like Iran because of the humiliation of the Shah's exit and the subsequent takeover of the embassy. It wants revenge and won't be denied. In my opinion, the U.S. now sees the world with the same eye that once looked west. It's manifest destiny writ large. The only solution, as I see it, is to hasten the demise of the U.S. as it currently stands. Perhaps then we might all have a little peace.
