Iran minister: Russia to supply Tehran with new missile system

Russia has agreed to sell an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Iran, Iran's defense minister was quoted as saying on Wednesday in the Iranian Fars News Agency.

S-300 missiles are longer-ranging than the TOR-M1 surface-to-air missiles which Russia, in a deal criticized by the West, earlier this year said it had delivered to the Islamic Republic under a $1 billion contract.

Iran is under United Nations sanctions due to its refusal to halt sensitive atomic work that Western powers suspect it wants to master so that it can build nuclear bombs, but they do not ban conventional weapons sales to the country.

LEMME GET THIS STRAIGHT:

• THE IRANIANS BOUGHT A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT FROM THE FOLKS WHO BROUGHT US CHERNOBYL.
• AND MORE ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES FROM THE FOLKS WHO SOLD ASSAD HIS POROUS DEFENSE SYSTEMS (JUST RENDERED USELESS BY THE IAF).
• EITHER PUTIN IS A GREAT SALESMAN OR THE IRANIANS ARE AS DUMB AS SHIT.
• PROBABLY BOTH.

SERIOUSLY: PUTIN IS GONNA BE A BIG PROBLEM FOR YEARS TO COME - AND I WANT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT TO HANDLE HIM BETTER THAN BUSH AND CONDI DID.

SHOULDN'T BE HARD: THEY SUCKED IT UP BIGTIME.
