IMO, we are continuing the cold war, and Russia is responding. Not a good policy.
The President is right. If you don’t want to see nukes ever being used and prevent WWIII, Russia must stop assisting Iran in building the bomb.
Russia, as far as I know, is helping them build a nuclear power plant, not a bomb.
“Russia, as far as I know, is helping them build a nuclear power plant, not a bomb.”
Ummm, yeah a Plutonium reactor. Considering China via Pakistan/North Korea proliferated the nuclear designs for a bomb to ME countries, including Iran the only real thing a country needs now is the nuclear material itself.
Remember a couple weeks ago where Iran gave the IAE the blueprints as a show of faith they were willing to negotiate? Worthless paper now, I can find these designs if I really wanted to. They are everywhere now.
The damage Bill Clinton did by allowing Chinese espionage at Los Alamos will someday resurface and probably not in a pretty way.
There was this little thing going on for about four years where Iran was supposed to ship Russia the spent nuclear material but ahhh so funny, the Russians claimed they didn’t get paid so the Iranians kept the nuclear material. Then the Iranians were pissed because it appeared Russia had sold them an inferior air defense system as we saw with the recent North Korea/Syrian incident.
At this point, Russia had a big choice and made it a month ago and that was full steam ahead to assist Iran in finishing up this this reactor.
I am not simply afraid of the Russians. I am afraid of the Frankenstein monster they have and are continuing to create with Iran. The Russians always seem to feel masters at chess and likely feel they can keep the lid on the Iranians behavior. THAT is what makes me nervous just to boil it all down.
