What in your little mind makes you think Bush can take away nukes from the Paks ?
They are at war with India and would rather die then give up their nukes. India has them out numbered by what 7-8 times?
Pakistan - America's ally - has nukes. Pakistan is an enemy of Russia and her ally India and Pakistan is an enemy of Iran. Saudi Arabia is also on bad terms with Iraq.
Looking at the world through geopolitical eyes Iran is not a danger to Russia. So the statement I responded to was ignorant of the facts.
Do I wish Russia cooperated and did not help Iran? Yes! But why should Russia when NATO moves to its borders and flies sorties there every day?
