5. US Warns Russia
Russia has and always will be the greatest enemy of the West,even General Patton at the end of WW II saw that and tried to warn the US gov at that time,saying it is better to stopr Russia now while we are still strong...but his words were unheeded by the President and the Allies. Now we see it coming to reality again under Putin's leadership(he is still pulling the strings) Putin wants to restore Russia to its former glory when it was the USSR, a World Power that was feared by all, he will do that anyway he can even if it means giving Iran Nukes and the missles to defend against attack, even if in the end it will come back to bite Russia in the butt!

6. What gives Americans the right?
What gives Americans the right to insert their nose where it does not belong? When they sell offensive weapons to the most evil Zionist entity that ever existed, no one interferes, so it s about time that the Russians put them in their place once and for all.

8. S300 MISSILE SYSTEM
As a person with great knowlege of today's weaponry, I can tell you with absolute authority that both Israel and the US can defeat this hyped up system with little fanfare. If Israel decides to move on Iran, the results will be exactly the same as those in Syria. This is political chess at its best. The game of possum is almost over. One would'nt want to be a Nuclear Tech or a front line soldier for iran in a very short while.

Bloatus, I believe that what you are suffering from is referred to in medical science as the 'Farting Brain Syndrome'.

Your number is appropriate #2. That's what your words mean. And yes we do know who the aggressors are in the middle east and its not who you think. And by the way, you wont be such an arrogant pr...ck when your friend Putin's tanks roll back into Prague!

12. Israel wants a Lame Duck
Israel is used to fighting and conquering lesser opponents. Historically, Israel fought and triumphed over inferior arab forces in terms of armament & maneuverabilty. The turning point was in Jennine camp where Palestinians armed with RPGs, a new tactic and drive, made a stand and taught IDF a bloody lesson. Iran & consequently Hizballah also learned the lesson and devised a new strategy which they put to use in 2006, and everyone knows what happened. Eventually, IDF took a hell of a beating and now they don't dare to think of facing Hizb. Also, they're petrified about the idea of going into Gaza since they don't know waht's waiting for them. The bottom line Israel won over inferior forces and now they want Russia to abstain from selling S300 SAMs to Iran, since they won't be able to do anything once the system reaches Tehran.

If I'm not mistaken Mark, Iran has repeatedly told the US and Israel they want to wipe us off the map, I think the US has EVERY right to stick their nose in this. We are a Nation that at least 1/2 of us still believe in God, the Bible, and his people the Jews. Many Americans are still more than willing to defend the US and Israel. By the way, the Russians will NEVER put Israel in its place. For starters Israel is already in their place, the land God gave them. Russia will try to go up against Israel, and they will fail severely.

The Americans are nothing but idiots. They keep barking while the caravan moves forward. Long live Hezbollah, Long live Iran.

Allow me to rephrase your comment by saying that the American objection is no more than a fart in the wind.

16. Iran and Israel
I'm afraid you are mistaken Tyra, what that idiot Almawhat'shisname actually said was that Zionist Israel would fade from the pages of history and he said it once. He never threatened to wipe Israel off the map, this was a deliberate mistranslation designed to envoke the expected response. It would be silly to threaten Israel, a country with over 200 nukes, with such a statement. I think this warning from the US to Russia is meant for Israeli ears, the US knows they have no control over Russia or Iran for that matter. Also Tyra, the rest of your post lies in the realm of make believe, I don't begrudge the Israelis their country but lets not pretend that God gave the land to them, men take land, it is never granted by God. As well as that, Israel is not as mighty as you make out, going up against the Russians would not be a good idea. I just hope level heads prevail in all of this, the last thing we need is another war in the region which could very easily turn into WW3.

17. #16 William #13 Tyra
William your reasoning and understanding of events is the best I have read in a long time. Tyra unfortunately Israel and its sympathisers are blinded by a term that medical science referes to as 'the runaway testosterone syndrome' In 2006, Israel pushed forward over 60,000 men into battle armed with the most sophisticated fighter jets,tanks and artillary supported by warships only to be humiliated by a few thousand Hezbollah fighters, armed with not much more than courage and determination. These few thousand men of Hezbollah managed to humiliate an Israeli army that was used to winning wars againt the armies of several Arab countries simultaneously. Now, Russia and/or Iran will do more to Israel than just humiliate it if Israel dares to make a wrong move. I assure you of that.

18. THE NETT RESULT OF........................
All these news about what Iran is developing and what it will get from Russia is that Iran took time in developing a detterent stand that today the Iranians know it well that should anyone become foolish enough to attack its Nuclear sites the response will put the entire Middle East into a peril.Does anyone doubt that?

Please let me know how you define evil, what the behaviours of the "Zionist entity" earn it the title evil and how this compares to the Islamic dictatorships which surround it. I look forward to discussing this with you further. David

I believe in the Bible and God isn't something make believe to me. Israel is the great country I'm making it out to be, and I'm sorry 16 and 17 but Israel will be standing when all the rest of us are wondering what the heck just happened. (that includes Russia too)
Tyra ,   Lebanon, USA   (12.23.08)
21. #19 David
Just look at the war of 2006. 90% of the casualties on the Lebanese side were civilians. 90% of the casualties on the Israeli side were military. Every single human rights group on earth including B'Tselem condemed Israeli use of force against civilians in Lebanon and in Palestine. Remeber Kana1and Kana2? To list all the crimes commited by this evil entity called Israel would take for ever. These are just a few points I thought I would mention for now.

So is that something to be proud of #1? Thousands of innocent people murdered? Yes, the US is bankrupt and bankrupt usually means financially, however, be very careful when you say morally. By the way, why don't you put where you're from or is the little mouse hiding in the hole?

23. Missiles....
As long as Israel and the U.S. continue to sit on their thumbs the THREAT to Israel grows stronger. The U.S. is now but a paper Lion. The President elect will NOT back Israel because of world opinion and his ties to the Arabs. Israel has but ONE option. REPENT and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and HE will hear you and save your land. There is NO other that can keep you SAFE. Read the scriptures! Everytime Israel stray's and comes back to HIM, HE comes through. Peace to you son's and daughters of Israel
The Watchman ,   USA   (12.24.08)
24. #23 AMEN
Watchman, thank you! You got that right, Israel has no one, not even the US. They need to turn to God. Wake up Israel, Wake up. The US use to be a blessed nation but we too have turned our backs on God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and his rules (not man's rules, HIS rules). God said blessed is the nation that believes in the Lord. Turn back Israel to your God of Abraham.

First to William probably the best comments I have ever heard on this site. It's nice that not everyone is deluded or brainwashed. Second to Tyra, it is people like you that not only give human beings a horrible reputation but also cause us to kill each other with your narrowmindedness and your inability to actually face reality and to face the facts. It is people like you that get the rest of us normal people killed with your stupidity and ignorance. What's more of a shame is that you actually think your leaders and the Israeli leaders actually care about you and religion when in fact they could give two damns about God or his follower, including you. They care about two things, money and control. Wars are always about land and control. Religion is just the smokescreen.
