I can't comment on this particular story, but some of the things Kabud is saying are true. In the late 1990s, a Russian senior military official did defect from the Soviet Union and told the United States that a number of suitcase nukes had gone missing. He was later discredited by the Clinton Administration, but that's another matter.
Russian-Chino relations have been very tight for many years. Accelerated during the 1990's, China did a wholesale purchase of Russian military assets during Russia's "rebuilding" phase. China has been systematically implementing a number of 5-year plans to enhance their military might; Russia has willingly assisted their communist friends in exchange for fast cash.
During the 1990's, I kept a close eye on dual-use technology transfers under the Clinton Administration to China (despite the fact that China was violating every single nuclear non-proliferation treaty it had signed). What China could not get from us (thanks, Bill, you POS!), it stole; what it could not steal from us, it bought from Russia.
Why is this important? Both Russia and China have been funneling that technology to IRAN. Yes, the same whackjobs that have been threatening to blow us up since the late 1970s, when the Shah was booted out of power. The same whackjobs who just this week were reported to the "Useless Nations" because UN inspectors could not confirm that all their nuclear facilities were "peaceful". Is anyone surprised?
The essential element to this discussion rests on what these three countries have in common, and why Kabud is getting so upset. Kabud sees an alignment of the three as potentially deadly to the United States, and is deeply concerned that they are "shark bumping" us. Is Kabud correct? Only time will tell.
But know this: These 3 countries do have something in common. They all spew anti-American hatred to their people. They all regard us as a hegemonic threat to their existence. And they all portray us as the hindrance to their rightful ascension as the world's Superpower.
I kid you not.
I appreciate you efforts. But you didn’t tell me one thing I didn’t know.
