I am very skeptical of sources saying Russia now wants to sanction Iran, to say the least. While ordinary Russian people are largely honorable people and genuien Christians with loyalty to God and country, as opposed to the rest of Europe, their government really does seem at times to be Soviet in all but name. And now it seems they are shifting loyalties at the drop of a hat. This is the kind of thing that makes you wish they’d go back to the Czarist days of Peter the Great. At least then we would know for sure where they stand at all times with regard to the militant Islamic world.
