Hey Sergei!

Your concerns should be expressed to your loyal arms customers in Iran.
Israel will do what is necessary to protect herself.

[mom4melody]

My thoughts exactly.....

[aces]

To hell with Pooty, not attacking Iran would be worse, ok Russia you now have the biblically foretold atomic crosshairs on you too..let’s rock...Israel would be willing to kick you butts too... I am sure the Israeli nukes are much more advanced and much bigger..

thats what obammmma mamba jamma lenin khomeini wants..

[aces]

Come Lord!! We need you so badly..

One way or another Israel has nuclear tipped missiles pointed at Moscow. They would be crazy not to as a negotiating chip/deterrence in case Israel attacks Iran. Or decides to waste Mecca/Medina in retaliation for some mega-terrorism act. This in addition to similar missiles pointed at prime Iranian and Muslim targets. For Operation Samson— Samson Option

Iran has been publicly threatening to attack Israel for several years now. Russia says nothing. In order to defend itself Israel is considering to preemptively attack Iran's nuclear establishment but Russia warns against that.

Russia is not interested in Middle East peace or the safety of western civilization.

[usurper]

It will be a bigger mistake for Israel to let Iran get in a first shot.

Like everyone else around here I have noted how these stories seem to come out every month or two. I think things might be different this time.

It would make sense for Israel to launch an attack sooner rather than later. With our troops still in harms way in Iraq you know Iran will take a shot at them and there by bring the US into the conflict. Once Obama pulls out our troops out of Iraq there is much less chance of that. If Israel is going to attack it will be soon.

I doubt the Israelis care much about what Russia has to say about much of anything.

This is the best time for Israel to launch a first strike. It forces Obama to either support the move (Bad for Obama with the left), condemn the move (Bad for Obama with the Jews)

It is also a great move because of the turmoil in the middle east, no one will be able to coordinate a counterstrike. Syria landmined its border with Lebanon and have their own problems. Egypt is a mess and in order for Iran to counter, they would have two options. Launch missiles over Iran, Launch missiles from Gaza and the WB.

In the first scenario, Iran is violating Iraqi sovereign territory (Bad for Iran). In the second scenario, an attack from Gaza and the West Bank confirms Iran’s support for Hezzy and Hamas. (Bad for the Palis in the UN)

Finally with an Israeli attack, the left will have to decide who it supports. Again, bad for Obama and worse for global Socialism.

Perfect.

BTTT!

[Steve Van Doorn]

since these nuclear weapons will also be directed at Moscow. Russia may have a good reason for this. Remember they helped build them.

[Cindy]

Bump.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"The Russians have done everything they can to help Iran develop nuclear weapons. That’s what I call a serious mistake."

Either a huge mistake or a brilliant con job
remember Russia has more problems with Islam then we do.

[Chode]

i'm sure they gave Iran the same warning... right??? /S

[Pelham]

It certainly is looking like that. Spooky.

What led to the Six Day War in 1967?

Excerpt:
Military Provocation By Arab Countries and Soviet Disinformation

At the same time, and unknown to the Israelis, the Soviet Union mounted a disinformation campaign pushing Egypt to join Syria against Israel. At that time, the Soviets were providing military and economic aid to both Syria and Egypt. On May 13, 1967 a Soviet parliamentary delegation visited Cairo and informed the Egyptian leaders that Israel had concentrated eleven to thirteen brigades along the Syrian border in preparation for an assault within a few days, with the intention of overthrowing the revolutionary Syrian Government. This was a complete fabrication designed by the Soviets to destabilize the Middle East. Similar false information may have been given to Egypt by the Soviets as early as May 2.

The build up and aggressive intent were denied by Israel. UN Secretary General U Thant reported that UNTSO observers on the Syrian border:

... have verified the absence of troop concentrations and absence of noteworthy military movements on both sides of the [Syrian] line.

Nasser probably correctly interpreted the Soviet information as an indication to him that the time was ripe for an attack on Israel and that he had their backing. With the United States deeply distracted by the War in Vietnam, the Soviets had reason to think there would be no US intervention.

He did not name them...Russia has long been talking about reviving a permanent naval base in the Mediterranean."
