1. Russia to Iran: You want some missiles with that?
Chonny ,   Colorado, US   (11.16.07)
Next thing we'll see is joint rocket development for "peaceful spaceflight purposes"...
2. Mr. Putin: You are not helping matters for rest of world!

3. May the Lord protect Israel from Putin-Gog and his cohorts!

4. Putin knows full well Iran wants bomb...
Johnson ,   USA   (11.17.07)
Perhaps Moscow should be put on Israels list of targets. Israel should make it very clear to the Russian Dominar that his interests in the region will also be targeted, and that he will be held accountable for this action.
5. russia, olmert and trust
marcel   (11.16.07)
So much for this lunatic olmert saying to Israel that we can trust Russia to do the right thing-yes, like selling nulcear to Iran or injecting poisons. Olmert has been wrong about so many things;likewise arab rulers ridicule for him being so weak. Why he is like this must be in his genes. It doesn't matter. Relieve him of the burden and get him out of the PM's office asap. He is a disaster who projects fear as Israel's main characteristic.

are using iranas proxy to destroy israel,and by eliminating it, eventually it will eliminate usa influence in the region, making russia and arab oil countries suoerpowers that will be able to hold world by the balls with nuclear weapons as well as extortions via oil. china has also ambitions therfe. russia is doing this to topple usa influence, economy and approach an era of again assuming suoerpower after raegan destroyed its economy and ideology. putin is former kgb, former russia. cold war here again. if we do not find an alternative to fuel and oil, we are doomed and so is or economy. we will be at the mercy of a kgb nation as well as islamic fanatics with nuclear power and 100% of the world's oil. the only answer we can have is the following. 1. alternative energy to oil/fuel 2. not buying oil and fuel from these countries will send them spiraling down and obliterate their economy and power. they are nothing without oil and russia can never assisst them financially and economically because they themselves have their economy in shambles and not productive or competitive in the european and usa market. 3. israel must be kept, must be kept!!!! as the only democratic sane power in the middle east and as a viable nation with no concession to any of the imaginary palestinians. we must never weaken israel at all because it is our single ally in the mid east. no regime there is trustworthy with nuclear weapons because, i can assure you, the fanatics with their ideology will surely use them irresponsibly and cruelly to ffighten and blackmail us. 4. separate russia from china. the only way to do so is to create boycotts of their exports to usa and never outsource work to that nation. even if our labor is expensive, keep it here. it'll create more jobs, more exports from usa and a better economy. if china were to have cheaper alternative power sources than oil, i am sure its alliance with the usa will be much stronger than its alliance with the russia which has nothing to offer compared to us. FIND OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO OIL AND END YOUR OCCUPATION BY THE ARAB NATIONS AND IRAN AND STOP RUSSIA ON ITS TRACKS.
7. Destroy the cargo carrier
drsanto ,   Nebraska, USA   (11.17.07)
The United States should VERY PUBLICLY announce that it will destroy the shipment on route~ preferably on the inside of Russia's border, if Russia goes through with it. We cannot and should not waver in our determination. If Russia is willing to supply Iran with fuel for a Nuclear Reactor, then they have chosen a path to WAR. While Russia clearly states it's intentions publicly, we hm and haw about ours. War will break out if we are not clear and it may still break out if we are clear. Let's at least give them a chance to avoid it. Somebody with a backbone, please stand up! DRS
8. Joint Rocket development
Kamran   (11.17.07)
And what is wrong with that? You feel Israel is the only country should have access to technology and the rest of the middle east should play with their sling shots. How about listening to Efraim Halevy?
9. REACTORS RUN WITH FUEL
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.17.07)
Everyone knows that the reactor will run with the fuel...........not water.Thus the arrangement.So what?
10. In other news, humans procreate.
Steve ,   UK   (11.17.07)
Ynet - you're news, aren't you?? Report something we DIDN'T know would happen!!
11. putin's russia is an outlaw state
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.17.07)
They are a sponsor of terrorism and should be sanctioned.
12. And do not forget to pay for it!
Damir ,   Russia   (11.17.07)
All the cargo sat in stores since this spring as Iran failed to pay in time. We'd like to continue to supply the nuclear fuel to Iran (and to US if anyone wonders) but they want to make its own.
13. it's only a matter of time...
Greg ,   New York City   (11.17.07)
war with these people is inevitable...unfortunately.
14. DAVID AND GOLIATH MARK 2.
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (11.17.07)
AS LONG AS A COUNTRY PURSUES A DESIRE TO WIPE ANOTHER OFF THE MAP,IT IS TANTAMOUNT TO UNDECLARED OPEN WAR.IN CONSEQUENCE OF THIS RUSSIA IS AS TREACHEROUS AS IRAN.SHOULD A CONSIGNEMENT OF URANIUM BE SENT ,IT IS ON THE CARDS THAT IT WILL BE DESTROYED BEFORE DELIVERY.THIS WOULD BE A WARNING THAT ANY COUNTRY THAT CIRCUMVENTS A U.N.EMBARGO CAN EXPECT.ISRAEL IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS NOT A RESPECTER OF BOUNDARIES AS DEMONSRATED BY ITS RECENT AIRBORN ATTACK ON THE SYRIAN NUCLEAR FACILITY.SIZE OF A COUNTRY (RUSSIA) DOES NOT MATTER,BUT SELF-PRESERVATION DOES!
15. PATHS TO HEAVEN FOR THE GOODIES ,AND HELL FOR THE BADIES?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (11.18.07)
IF RUSSIA,...WHY NOT PAKISTAN,...WHY RAW MATERIAL,...AND WHY NOT FULLY FABRICATED WEAPONRY.?FINALLY....WHY NOT ... IN IRAN'S HANDS ...TH BOMB...THE EASY WAY ...WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ANY FURTHER CENTRIFUGES!
