Is Russia for Iran,or against Iran?   If Russia is for Iran Why did Russia not sell Iran the S-300 airdefence Missile System's?   T he S-300 is a Defensive Airdefence system.   In The Next 15 years Russia will Lose $11  to $13 Billion Dollars for braking Contract's With Iran.   Ameri ca,Israel,Britain,an d France Put Pressure or Russia not to Sell. This is so if a country will try to attack Iran's nuclear Plant it would not have Airdefence.   So is Russia for Iran, ? or&nbs p;against Iran ?   Can one be for and against,at the same Time ?   Can I be for God, and at the same time be for Satan ?

Hope this helps, in the face of annihilation, what do I have to lose?
This dust up is helpful to Russia, instability over Iran up to a point keeps the price of oil elevated despite the global slowdown. Also, Iran provides a nice buffer from U.S. forces in the area, all understandable. The post suggesting Russia sell warheads to Iran is out of the question.. Moscow is not foolish enough to hand such a dangerous responsibility over to anybody.. If Iran wants nukes Iran must develop them themselves.. The danger is if this gets out of hand.
This going out of control seems more probable when you realize that most governments are facing extinction in the face of the unfolding economic collapse. Many policymakers would choose WW3 instead of being overthrown by their angry populations.. These policymakers may even entertain illusions of being able to survive a nuclear holocaust.. Somebody is buying up all those luxury bunkers.. War in and over Iran will NOT stay contained, and nuclear exchange would be the outcome of any attack in the region. Also, you cannot expect any nation to abide by any agreements made before the conflict.. Each is thinking of being the only survivor. That means stabbing any other survivors in the back. Also, realize that other small players may unleash something on the field.. The worst part of WW3 won't be mushroom clouds, it will be the stuff that comes out of petri dishes.. Even a poor country can unleash our extinction..
. Our world is decentralizing.. The powerful can profit ENORMOUSLY if they would but accept and guide the changes our species is currently enduring. There is a profitable way to handle these changes.. It requires more work, but the profits are astronomical. Make it clear to the elite they cannot survive war any better than even the poorest farmer would. We can handle a better way, we as a species are better than a self inflicted demise.

Russia should stop any attempt to start another war by US/NATO/Zionism in the Middle East if they are not part of the conspiracy. I hope the re-invasion by American /NATO Imperialism stops at Iraq and Libya. Everybody knows what happened to these countries. But not all knows Syria, Pakistan and Iran are the next target. very few knows that Russia and China are the last obstacles before the Zionist movement establishes the New World Order.

no what we should do is put a nice little military base in iran, syria or whoever needs one like we did with abhkhazia and ossetia! If we send a message to the west that these countries are truly alligned with us and war with them is war with us? well that should scare of some war hawks quick.. but the longer we stand by and watch the more encircled we will become

Russia should start selling nuclear weapons and s300/400 to all middle east countries.This way, all regional conflicts will fade, US will stay away, Israel and Arab c ountries will have to start negotiating peacefully. Nuclear weapons are the best war deterrent known so far.US, NATO and Russia will still be safely out of touch due to their technical superiority.Russia can profit immensel y  and use the funds to revitalize&n bsp;it's economy and military production.Nuclear weapons are outdated anyway. The future military superiority resides  in newer high-tech weapons like lasers, plasma, weather control,  etc.

What are the Americans going to do?

If Iran is attacked, and a phone call is made to the Obama Whitehouse from Tehran: 'Please stop attacking us or we will respond with nuclear weapons' ... then it is Rubicon time!

I can certainly imagine that a nuclear device could have been placed in Washington and New York, and operated remotely.

Wha t will the Americans do if New York gets Nuked? They can hardly cry Fowl for attacking a country, which then responds in kind - in self defence. What are they going to do - nuke Tehran in Kind - and lose more cities?

What happens if they bomb Iranian reactors, and spread nuclear waste everywhere?
How about closure of the Gulf to trade - and tanker traffic? What happens if Saudi Arabia becomes involved? US bases in Arabia are legitimate targets.
The sad story is that Saudi needs a higher oil price to make money, and the USA needs war to survive, Russia also needs a higher oil price for export, China requires cheap oil, along with India and other developing nations.

This is the perfect Nuclear Storm

If they wanted to build a nuke they could simply do what Israel and Pakistan and India did... don't sign the Non Proliferation Treaty and then develop the technology yourself.

Onl y by signing the NPT have they been bound not to develop nuclear weapons, so if they want nukes they can simply withdraw and then they are free to kick the IAEA out and work on their own to develop nuclear weapons.

The sad thing is that they would be in a much better position now if they had been developing nuclear weapons because if they had a few nukes the US and Israel would back off and respect their soverignty a bit more.

BTW Iranian rhetoric is anti Zionist, and there are many Jews who think Zionists are anti semetic and the real reason for the problems in the middle east.

@Jesse, @AllenJesse is right, but the reality is that Israel has justified intentions, horrible leadership, horrible reputation. The all world governments is cooperating in this attack against Israeli's.The US sanctions a new government in Iran (then pretends to hate them and protect Israel) while Russia arms Iran, which is the back bone sponsor of terrorist group PLO/Fatah, and has stated hundreds of times it has intentions of establishing Pa lestine.
Why is Palestine&nb sp;a threat? Because If Palestine&nb sp;takes more and more land from Israel, btw Israel has a piece of land so small that it is a miracle that they are still alive, Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister has stated that giving up certain lands would cause certain death for Israel, yet he continues to give up these lands.

Jesse, if you cant see the US and the Israel state representatives at least the nazis theyve become, you will not believe that youre being lied to yet again. When they say peace, expect them to murder some millions of people. Theyve done it before and they will attempt it again. They are too sure they wont be held accountable or have their heads blown off.

Of course Iran is trying to build a nuke! anyone who doesn't believe that is hiding their head in the sand....

The question is, should Iran be allowed to have a nuke when Israel has one...
If Russia wants to bring peace talks in, it might want to ask Iran to tone down its anti Semitic attitude or at the very least, get their nut job leader out of power
