PUTIN BEHAVING BADLY AGAIN: SELLING MORE MISSILES TO IRAN

LONDON TIMES: Russia ratchets up US tensions with arms sales to Iran and Venezuela

Russia snubbed its nose at the United States today by announcing plans to sell military equipment to both Iran and Venezuela.

The head of the state arms exporter said that Russia was negotiating to sell new anti-aircraft systems to Iran despite American objections.

"Contacts between our countries are continuing and we do not see any reason to suspend them," Anatoly Isaikin, general director of Rosoboronexport, told Ria-Novosti at an arms fair in South Africa.

Reports have circulated for some time that Russia is preparing to sell its S-300 surface-to-air missile system to Iran, offering greater protection against a possible US or Israeli attack on the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities. The missiles have a range of more than 150 kilometres and can intercept jets approaching at low altitude.

PUTIN IS AN ARCH FOE, AIDING ALL OF OUR ENEMIES; THEREFORE,WE SHOULD GET TOUGH WITH PUTIN - ALL OVER THE GLOBE ALL AT ONCE - AND WHERE IT HURTS THE MO$T:

• ASIA: JAPAN SHOULD SEIZE THE JAPANESE ISLANDS RUSSIA CLAIMS.

• EUROPE: NATO SHOULD MOVE QUICKLY TO GIVE UKRAINE AND GEORGIA MEMBERSHIP.

• ARCTIC: AND A UNION OF THE USA CANADA AND` DENMARK SHOULD LAY A CLAIM TO THE 80% OF THE ARCTIC.

• ENERGY POLITICS: WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A TRANS-ARCTIC PIPE-LINE TO SELL ALASKAN GAS TO NORTHERN EUROPE AND CUT RUSSIA OUT OF THE LOOP, COSTING THEM THEIR BIGGEST CUSTOMERS.

FOR STARTERS...

THAT WOULD SEND THE RIGHT MESSAGE.
