A major, major plus.
Why would Russia pick a fight with a battle hardened nation who just unleashed, say a bunker busting nuke that just turned the Iran underground bomb laboratory into glass to show that it means business?
I guess you haven't heard that Russia's economy is tightly bound up with Iran? You just destroyed a huge swath of Russia's income.
And all the other anti-US nations would prod her on.
LOL. Of course they have. And lots of it. I guess you haven't the warnings Russia has already given regarding the "aggressive attitude" the US has toward Iran. Russia has a very heavy interest in developing Iran's nuclear energy program. Where have you been?
If you think Russia is just going to sit back and allow you to unleash your nuclear arsenal on her neighbor you are extremely uninformed.
That's the problem with the nuke-them-all crowd. They like to feel the testosterone rush. But they are extremely short on real strategy.
