We gotta fix things with Russia. We have a new common enemy on the horizon. Both have been attacked by it already. It has already attacked our civilian populations and in Russia it was children. This evil has to be met and contained.

Never trust commie Russia. They will deploy systems secretly behind our backs. Unlike the US government they can never be trusted.

Doesnt Iran keep up its enrichment because theyve got America breathing down their necks about lifestyle, which its really hard to pick between a commie and capitalist greedy person, on who's idea about lifestyle is correct. If the locals dont like their lifestyle, it is their priority to change it, and the people themselves to make the change-democracy. Allowing shopping/barter as usual, and not having npo's, and the like, making personal opinions and distribution of lifestyle, as if it were the Bible, and at the same time ignoring their own families and fellow country man in trouble, just doesnt seem right either.

So, Russia won't deploy missile sites, because we've withdrawn plans to make a missile defense project? How does that make sense? Wouldn't that be more reason to deploy missile sites, now that the defense shield is out?

And Morris: There are aspects of American policy that are more commie than Russia.

Russia...also harshly criticized Iran’s president

All the while continuing to assist in the development of Iran's nuclear program.

Washington is counting on Moscow to help raise pressure on Tehran over its nuclear program.

Is it possible the Obama administration can be so naive? (rheotrical question)

They were never really serious about deploying missles there anyway. So stating now they won't because the US chickened out in putting interceptors in Poland doesn't mean anything.

Regarding Iran and Russia. Of course Russia won't allow sanctions against Iran. They're one of their best customers. Selling everything from arms to nuclear technology, Iran will buy it all from Russia. Though admittedly some is coming from France and North Korea as well. Says a lot for Russia seeing who they're in bed with.

Calm down, please. Now you can trust and leave your bunker - Russia not commie for 20 years at least. :)

Don't try to frighten yourself. Russia just building nuclear plant not "nuclear program".

Wow. That was fast.

Iran's got no nuclear weapons. They may not like Israel, but they have enough problems of their own. Why attack Israel? Why start a war with anybody? Looks like a bunch of war hawks wanting to waste tax dollars on a boondoggle. < :-)

Ah, don't read the news much do you. Iran is building a nuclear program. The reactors that they're building, can be used to build their nuclear program, much as the ones Clinton gave NK back in the 90s were used.

Israel has their own nukes. Why are we even concerned about the area? Israel should be stepping up to be the police force in the middle-east, not the US as some believe.

Bring our own money back home. < :-)

Yeah, adaydream, what does the Middle East have that we should concern ourselves about the area? LOL! The naivete of the left never ceases to amaze me.

They're Infidels. That's all the reason they need.

Really? Does Russia violate the non-proliferation treaty? Why it's not in headlines?! Ah, IEAE finds nothing wrong with building nuclear plants... It's all about uranium enrichment. Well, does Russia help build uranium enrichment facilities? No. Question closed. Let's paranoia go.
