Senior Russian Diplomat: Moscow May Change Stance In Iranian Nuke Talks
CBSDC/AP ^ | 19 Mar 14 | Unknown

Posted on 03/19/2014 2:09:45 PM PDT by elhombrelibre

A senior Russian diplomat says Moscow may change its stance in the Iranian nuclear talks amid tensions with the West.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted Wednesday as saying by the Interfax news agency that Russia didn’t want to use the Iranian nuclear talks to “raise stakes,” but may have to do so in response to the actions by the United States and the European Union.

The statement is the most serious threat of retaliation by Moscow after the U.S. and the EU announced sanctions against Russia over the Ukrainian crisis.

By the way, Si vis pacem, para bellum precedes Clauswitz by about 1500 years. It’s embarrassing seeing that conservatives can be blithe about Iran with nukes, cheerleaders for Putin (Putinistas), and philistines about history.

Even better news for Paulbots—U.S. allies get hurt *and* crazy Islamists get nuclear weapons. It’s like one of L. Ron Paul’s wet dreams.

True. They can slew all their enemies: Jews, Americans, Europeans, globalists with Pizza parlors, Soros supporters with ice cream carts, etc.

"Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you."-Ezekiel 38

America made its bed, man.

America has become a limp wristed little fa**ot.

Putin is going to distract Barry from his Bball brackets with this nonsense.

How dare he.

Horse Face Kerry and Jester Joe are going to have to scold him again with their most serious leader voices.

We are utterly f***ed.

That is all.

Here comes the Russia-Turkey-Iran axis. Obama can't stop it. Obama won't stop it. Forget NATO. Best to concentrate on securing one's own continent, and, of course, Israel.

All along the road to Ezekiel 38 and Gog-Magog

It sure looks that way. War is most likely coming soon to Israel. It could be the prophesied Psalm 83 War, or a war that sets up the Ezekiel 38 War.

All the nations listed in Scripture for the Psalm 83 War are nations immediately bordering Israel. If she defeated those nations, and expanded her territory to more of Israel's Biblical borders, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the nations hostile to Israel would look to the reemerged Russia to aid them in their invasion (hence, we could see the much larger prophesied Ezekiel 38 War to follow).

These are the borders of Israel as laid out by God Himself in Genesis:

Another look:

These are the Psalm 83 nations who attack Israel:

A possible interpretation of the Gog and Magog invaders:

And what does America do? Will she aid Israel? No. From a news wire story posted 55 minutes ago:

Kerry Demands Public Apology From Israeli DM For Verbally Assaulting Obama’s Foreign Policy

If I were writing a Hollywood script, with a cast of villains, I could not author a more clear role for evildoers than Kerry and Obama.

First blood moon coming next month at the beginning of Passover:

Let us all pray for Israel. The God of Abraham is always at work.

"You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come."

Psalm 102:13

The miscalculation was to violently overthrow the freely elected government in Ukraine, thereby posing a threat to Russia’s vital interests, at the same time that we need Russian help on a lot of issues, including Iran.

Now lots of other problems can develop unfortunately.

Just remember this is all by design. Obama’s goal, long before he ever became president, is to weaken our country and promote other countries to balance our power. This is going according to plan.

Cute. Did you get that from Putin-owned, Russian state media?

I guess the key question from Ezekiel 38 is this:

“‘Have you come to take plunder?”

Now what exactly does Israel have to “plunder?”

I know the usual answer is they will have a great oil or gas find, but Russia has that too and so do the Arab ME countries (most of them at least). So for me, the above about what is to be plundered is key.

Surprised? Don't be! And hey, did you see:
Obama is doing TWO fundraisers for the Democrats in Florida this week, partying it up with the 1%...and he turned in his NCAA bracket to ESPN! So let's ignore that nuclear stuff, baby...party time!!

Let's tell the truth: Putin is doing what he is doing because HE KNOWS THERE IS WEAKNESS IN AMERICAN LEADERSHIP.

I also believe, whole heartedly, that if Mitt Romney were in the Oval Office, these actions--if Putin took them at all--would have been followed by real, true, consequences.

My gut feeling, though, is that Putin wouldn't have done anything like this...because Romney, whatever else he was, wasn't promising to be "flexible" for Putin.

It wouldn’t be my first choice for sound strategic doctrine. Russia is already building reactors for the Iranians. And anyone with a map and a set of dividers can see how much of Russia will be within the Iranian range circles before anything in the U.S. will be.

I think that was affirmed from the mouth of Obama’s deputy secretary of state....

http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/feb/07/eu-us-diplomat-victoria-nuland-phonecall-leaked-video

Nuland and the US ambassador to Ukraine were discussing who THEY wanted in charge of the nation after the overthrow...and Team Obama wanted one guy, the EU wanted another....

Imagine that . . . diplomats discussing diplomacy. Putin would never, ever discuss who he wants leading Ukraine. Oh, wait . . . .
