91. Good advice
Wulfrano Ruiz Sainz ,   Tijuana, Mexico   (02.24.12)
Russia advices Israel not to attack Iran. This is good advice. Iran, if attacked by Israel, is too close to Russia. Russian territory could be compromised. No country likes its territory compromised in any way. Russia has 15,000 nuclear warheads. No need to provoke Russia because of Iran. Let there be peace not radioactive incineration of the planet.
92. # 52.

I think you are blinded by anti US/western media. The US didn't go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan for oil.. they went to war because they're countries with strong terrorist affections. Only 5% of US oil supply comes from the Middle-East.. the majority comes from Canada and the US itself. Wake up! The Soviet-Union didn't free Europe. They enslaved the entire eastern-europe population but they revolted and communism failed. Israel has the right to defend itself and so does the USA. Iran not only poses a severe threat to the USA and Israel but to the entire west. Including your country and my country.

"Let there be peace" You have it backwards. Tell that to Iran; they started all this, remember? Or do facts not matter?

Interesting...that you note June 22 1941, the day Germany invaded Russia with Operation Barbarrossa, breaking the peace agreement between them. Russia was able to fight back and defeat Germany with the help of arms and ammunition supplied by the US. Your analogy has holes in it.
96. Continuation

Basically all US systems would not work if the Dollar oil connection would fall. Legal system: Inefficient, too many prisoners (10 time more, than in any country) Educatioal system: Too expensive. Health system: 25% of population withou insurance, and still spends twice as much as in industrial countries per capita. Energy: Cars to wasteful Cities, suburbans: Spread to wide, no meaningful public transportation possible. Food: Fertilization is mostly based on Crude oil. All US foreign policy is directed on maintaning USDollar dependence for crude oil. Main payer is Saudi Arabia. If it fails, US hegemony will fall. Russians are since WWII especially in US ways, because they have the bombs, and have the means go deliver them, and therefore are independend! The main point is the global peace, and freedom - for me at least. I want peace, and freedom. I want no one to dominate the world. No Russians, Chineese, no Americans. Balance of power is good inside of a country, and internationally. US administration has set openly a goal to dominate the world - didn't ask me about this idea, and they didn't ask Russia. Here again who agrees with my point of view or not: Will not happen with Russia! If the US will press ahead with it's rocket defense shield, small countries, like Israel, will pay the price. There will be cold war, and each of the superpowers will have their proxies fight - Israel can sing a song about it. Best to all. Shalom

Your post is ridiculous and you yourself prove its lie when you state "US administration has set openly a goal to dominate the world...and they didn't ask Russia." There was a Cold War, remember? Both the US and Russia wanted to be stronger than the other and the strongest in the world. Russia lost. "All US foreign policy is directed on maintaning US dollar dependence for crude oil." A lot of US foreign policy is directed to oil. True. 'All' US foreign policy? Blatantly not true. Much of it is directed towards what you espouse; global peace and freedom. It is Russia that is as [re]set a goal to dominate the world. The US has many problems that are the same as other countries. You ignore where the US is doing quite well, thank you very much. You ignore Russia's return to communism and state control of everything. You have a myopic vision of what's happening. I guess facts aren't that important to you. Peace.
98. ARAB COUNTRIES WILL HARDLY HAVE THE ABILITY
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (02.27.12)
MAHMOOD ARE YOU MISHNOON, SAUDI ARABIA HAVE SOME OF THE BEST BRITISH FIGHTER BOMBERS IN THE WORLD. CONFRONT THE IRANIAN MIGHT IN THE PERSIAN GULF, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN READING SOME IRANIAN RUBBISH PAPER. IRAN SOON WILL FEEL THE MIGHT OF 1 OR 2 ARAB COUNTRIES AIRFORCE AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES.
