Putin said that "the growing threat of a military strike on this country alarms Russia, no doubt. If this occurs, the consequences will be truly catastrophic. It is impossible to imagine their real scale."PUTIN BUILT IRAN'S NUKE PROGRAM.
AND PUTIN HAS BLOCKED ALL MEASURES SHORT OF KINETIC THAT MIGHT HAVE ONCE HAD A CHANCE OF STOPPING IRAN.
HE'S PART OF THE PROBLEM.
THAT'S WHY IS FEEL HE IS NOT WARNING THE FREE WORLD, BUT THREATENING ING US.
IF THE USA HAD A REAL COURAGEOUS AND MORAL PRESIDENT, THEN PUTIN WOULD'VE GOTTEN A VERY STERN PHONE CALL ON THE RED HOTLINE FOLLOWED BY A PUBLIC STATEMENT INCLUDING AN ULTIMATUM FOR IRAN AND UNEQUIVOCAL SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE.
I HOPE ISRAEL FEELS IT CAN WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE AN ALLY IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
BUT THAT WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL JANUARY 2013... OY...
STAY TUNED...
I am not sure we should construe the "realpolitik" commentary coming from the Kremlin as declarations that they will enter the battle if Israel strikes Iran. All they are saying is that the consequences of military action are unknown. Russia will only join in if they felt that the USA was about to get a foothold in the Caspian Sea/Iran...otherwise they will sit on the sidelines and offer some logistical assistance and sell armaments. The Israeli's understand that the choice is between a growing threat or an unknown reaction. The Iranian's are trying to foment an excuse for pan-islamic war on Israel - therfore the Israeli's must be prepared to deliver a massive strategic counter attack after the first round of tactical strikes.
ReplyDeleteand thanks to the policies of BHO the ingredients for pan-islamic warfare ( post arab-fling) are in moving into allignment...
ReplyDeletewrong.
ReplyDeleteputin is not a neutral player,
and there is NOTHING he has ever done that proves he wants "peace" anywhere.
if he was a neutral player who had intervened in way to promote peace ANYWHERE at any time then i might think he was just alerting folks.
