Now that the U.S.-Russia relationship has broken down, Moscow could throw a wrench into the teetering nuclear negotiations with Iran.
The escalating tensions between Washington and Moscow, brought to fever by the MH17 airliner disaster, are finally to the point where they threaten to spoil the number one item on President Obama’s foreign policy agenda: the nuclear talks with Iran. The man doing the threatening is Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier this week, Putin promised to retaliate against the United States for new sanctions targeting his friends and business associates, as well as large Russian defense, energy, and financial firms. On Thursday, Putin called President Obama to alert him a civilian jetliner had crashed over Eastern Ukraine, a tragedy the U.S. says was caused by a missile shot from a Russian-made SA-11 mobile surface to air missile system located in a separatist-held area.
Putin’s next call was to none other than the President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani.

and that right there folks is a CERTAIN recipe for existential war.
All so politicians here can huff and puff over little of consequence.
Turn the thermostat down, the cold war is back on.
CC
And Obama will no doubt acquiesce.
Obviously Obama can’t be trusted to deal with it and the EU won’t.
Hahahahahaha! OBAMA WANTS THE DEAL TRASHED!
Obama works for the Mullahs for crying out loud! He wants his own turban
But I thought the reset button had been pushed.
Not when its 0zero vs Vlad
“But I thought the reset button had been pushed.”
Only RASSISS! and “CRAZY PEOPLE” would dare to think such a thing!
That was the Current Truth of the past, and it has been changed to the current truth of the Now. Just ask anyone at CNN or NBC News about this.
You aren’t a crazy racist, are you?/s?
Obama wont tolerate that,
he will bring the wrath of hell down on Russia for this, as soon as he gets back from his fundraising and golfing trips.
He heard about this on the news, just like we did.
He is mad as hell about it, mad as hell I say.
Big deal. All this means is Iran doesn’t have to lie about honoring a deal.
Obama is a Sunni, but you’re probably right.
Obama is a Sunni, but you’re probably right.
Are you saying the murders of 298 innocent people is “of little consequence”?
If Romney were in charge, Russia would have been declared a terrorist state akin to Iran by this point. Which they are.
Dang it would be nice if Boehner/Mcconnell would treat Obama like Putin does...
The idea that Obama’s “Russian reset” was going to undo the damage Bush did to US-Russian relations, and that the Russians would then somehow convince Iran not to build a nuclear bomb was an article of faith for the liberal media.
Putin's terrorist sponsoring Russia IS THE SOURCE of the Iranian nuclear threat. Iran would not have any nuclear program at all if it wasn't for Putin building them a reactor and supplying them with enriched uranium.
This would be the same Iran that Bowe Bergdahl just defected to? AWOL from Sana Antonio?
Bingo! Post of the day.
