If I recall, there is a large shipment of parst and components for Iran's nuclear reactors sitting in Russian ports now. Will they be shipped?..stay tuned..
Yeah...I think whether we see it or not, there's gonna be some changes in Russia on account of this.
While Russia should stop all assistance to Iran,the US should do it's part & tell it's "allies" like Qatar,UAE,Saudi Arabia & Pakistan in no uncertain terms to stop their "aid" to Chechen "freedom fighters".Infact when Qatar decided to prosecute 2 Russian agents(who bumped off a Chechen bigwig living in Doha with a carbomb),the US gave it full support.
The Iranians are Shiites. They are not a problem for Russia. The problem for Russia and Central Asia is the radical Sunni Moslem sects -- the Wahhabi from Saudi Arabia and the Deobandi from Pakistan.
The rational course for Russia is to ally itself with Iran against Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Russia should also invade and conquer Georgia to cut off the supplies to the Chechen terrorists coming through the Pankisi Gorge area.
They should also retake Uzbekistan and the rest of the "stans" in Central Asia to stamp out Islamic terrorism there.
If so, expect Israel to 'take it out'.
