Russia wants to see a United Nations arms embargo against Iran lifted "as soon as possible" but it is up to Tehran to accept the terms of a final nuclear deal, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday.

Well, big surprise. Putin is a de facto ally of the mad mullahs and has nearly single handedly made them a nuclear power. On the other hand, you can believe he's a swell guy, a Christian, and a true conservative.

The Russians are money crazy. They would sell billions in arms to Hitler.

The Russians have wanted a warn water seaport for more than a century, and have had their eyes on Persia/Iran for at least as long.

If they can’t get it by conquest, maybe they can get it by political sleight-of-hand.

They’ve got a ton of S-300 backlogs and want to sell them a bunch of new S-400s, too.

Geeee. Really? Putin wants billions and billions of new Iranian cash freed up so Iran can buy Russian built weapons??? Surprise surprise surprise.
