Has anyone else noticed the tension between the US and Russia? It’s so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Today Russian president Vladamir Putin, while visiting Tehran, warned the US against attacking Iran. Saying “…no Caspian nation should offer its territory to third powers for use of force or military aggression against any Caspian state.” It has been said that the US would use the Caspian region to launch attacks on Iran.
The fact that Russia is building Iran a nuclear plant in Russia does worry me a bit. But not as much as what Putin said next, “Threatening someone, in this case the Iranian leadership and Iranian people, will lead nowhere, they are not afraid, believe me.” Wow, do I feel the rumblings of World War III?
If Russia is now in bed with Iran I suppose they don’t like threats, they like action…well covert, deniable action.
With Russia as their new ally, Iran does not need nuclear weapons. Russia has plenty!
What does Russia see in Iran anyways? Maybe Putin likes the ‘death to America’ chants, or perhaps he has a love for secretly building bombs that kill Americans without any repercussions.
Nah, it’s probably just the food.

I don’t know about WWIII, but I do feel a new cold war coming on and don’t feel that’s completely a bad thing. A cold war could serve to unite the majority of the country against a common evil with no one having to actually fire a shot. It would be good for the ecomony as well.
However, it could turn into WWIII if Iran follows through with it’s threat to wipe Israel of the map, but at least we’d be armed and ready for it. I say bring it on Putin-Velva-Jad!!!
