Do you think a European country will side with Iran? Which one? Seems Russia's a swing - they'll probably go with us...

Good question...I'm not so sure Russia will side with us...the rapid expansion of NATO eastward has Russia disturbed...also notice how fussy they've been with Georgia the last two weeks. As far as European countries, I'm sure massive bribery like the "oil for food" scandal is happening even as we type.

Well, Russia has plenty of oil, so cutting off ties with Iran wouldn't hurt them in that respect. They wanted to build some nuclear power plants in Iran and also had some arms deals with the country. Seeing as how Russian-made weapons (or rip-offs) were used by Hezbollah (who got them through Iran and Syria), they might be backing off any arms deals with Iran themselves. And with the whole NK thing going down, I don't see them pushing to sell plutonium and reactors like they might have in the past. There are plenty of other countries in the world that will buy weapons from them and plenty of other countries that need power. So, I'm not seeing Russia siding with Iran should anything big go down. My best bet? Turkey.

I thought that way too, until I read this:

It seems Pootypoot is a real two-faced scumbag. He's big buddies with the little Runt Bastid as well as the Iranian madman.
