f it goes nuclear, with the Iranians launching the first shot, then the complete blame will fall to the Euros and the Russians. Old world politics at their best.

What would Russia care if a few nukes hit Israel? Russia might even feign outrage by crashing down into iran and seizing it's long coveted warm water access and everyone would applaud the way russia came to the rescue.

You can tell where plutonium comes from after a nuclear detention. NEST keeps a database of such things.

Do you still think that the Russian Army has anything like that offensive capacity???

Very, very interesting scenario. Russia is probably even thinking, "Heck, we better jump in and take Iran before the US decides to."
