Selling Iran advanced anti-aircraft weaponry which is surrounding Tehran's various nuclear weapons plants, as in the Russian-built nuclear plant at Bushehr, clearly indicate Putin is not only an "ally" in the war against Islamic terrorism, ==
Putin makes money that way. Maybe it is cynical but russian workers want livings. Iran is rich country which pays american dollars. Where Iran got them anyway? Not from America you think?
Why it is not bad for United States companies to trade with Iran and China but it is bad for Russia?
If you don't want that Russia sells there then open for her new markets. It would be real not just bla bla. Otherwise you want from Russia not making money for nothing.
Give her new markets in turn then ask Putin not to sell to Iran, Syria or Venesuella. You will be amazed he will be glad:).
The Russians could make a heck of a lot more money by privatizing their industries and selling more peaceful goods to Western nations.
With your overtly Russia always #1 attitude so alarmingly displayed on this thread, I really hope you're living and forever remaining in Putin's peoples paradise.
