in places it doesn't belong in--thus causing problems it's not willing to confront.We are looking to punish Russia and we will be the punished one.Why the hell are we trying to box Russia in with NATO forces all around them?If push came to shove, Russia could Knock the shit out of all of them in a heartbeat.
2. Obama's foreign policy in shambles

it is a pity that putin is more interested in absolute power and wealth than in russia's position in the world or the well being of the russian people.
4. And most of you should know mr Sotero...

.. started the new conflict intentionally. Some actually say they can see the fingerprint from CIA in the situation. His tactical address was to damage the relationship with Russia, and let Israel pay the price. and let us not forget, JFK and the Cuba crisis. And which other countries has USA invaded on its southern border and the northern part of South America.... Mr Sotero has to take the blame for the Ukraine crisis.
5. Russia is a little late to the game

Iran is currently making their own version of the Chinese massively re-enginered clone of the Russian S-300 (HQ9/HQ15/HQ18/FD2000). This Chinese/Iranian version is equivalent to the more dangerous Russian S-400/500. While the S-300 systems are not as good as what Iran already has, Russia has lots of surplus S-300 systems because they are currently deploying S-400 systems and early S-500 systems. Therefore, Russia may sell the surplus S-300 systems for bargain prices (less than the cost to make) to generate quick cash. As a result, Iran could substantially increase their deployment of sophisticated (and deadly) anti-aircraft systems for very low cost by adding the Russian surplus S-300 systems to their existing mix of Iranian made S-400 clones and purchased Chinese S-400 clones. In any case, Iran is becoming a very deadly place to fly an attacking aircraft.
6. If Russia does send the missiles

9. #7 - Please note that all the weapons Irna has are
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (01.21.15)
DEFENSIVE weapons. Note also that there are many countries on earth with large stockpiles of offensive weapons. For example, Pakistan has nuclear weapons and India has both nuclear weapons and the ICBMs to deliver them to a large part of the earth. Closer to Israel, Saudi Arabia has very accurate Chinese made MRBM and is said to have paid AQ Khan for nukes. BTW the Iranian economy would be just fine without the US economic war.
