By the Government of Japan, in response to North Korea's threat earlier today to treat 'severe sanctions' as a defacto 'declaration of war'.
Well, Russia has plenty of oil, so cutting off ties with Iran wouldn't hurt them in that respect. They wanted to build some nuclear power plants in Iran and also had some arms deals with the country. Seeing as how Russian-made weapons (or rip-offs) were used by Hezbollah (who got them through Iran and Syria), they might be backing off any arms deals with Iran themselves. And with the whole NK thing going down, I don't see them pushing to sell plutonium and reactors like they might have in the past. There are plenty of other countries in the world that will buy weapons from them and plenty of other countries that need power. So, I'm not seeing Russia siding with Iran should anything big go down. My best bet? Turkey.
I thought that way too, until I read this:

It seems Pootypoot is a real two-faced scumbag. He's big buddies with the little Runt Bastid as well as the Iranian madman.
I wish I could recall where I read an article on the Bush military strategy. The Pentagon has guessed correctly in expanding NATO eastward while encircling Iran via Afghanistan, Iraq, plus a few other ...stans. The US has even contemplated the collapse of Mushariff's government in Pakistan. According to this article India will play a crucial role in engaging a collapsed Pakistan. Wouldn't surprise me if we are facing a regional war if the US initiates an attack on Iran.
Never mind, I see you've already been there.
It's enough to give one heartburn, isn't it?
Which movie is that from?
YEAH Alright Godzilla in da house
You've got a point with that one - Turkey would benefit from a breakup of Iraq - (an idea that reeks of Iranian strategy) ... Turkey would take the Kurds - and their oil fields - while Iran moved into Southern Iraq... Yep, Turkey could be onboard... for a piece of the pie.
The top is from Godzilla 2000. The middle is from Godzilla: Final Wars. And the last is from Gamera: Revenge of Iris.
Yes, it is...
Thanks. I was referring to the middle one. Might have to see Final Wars now. Any good?

I took it to mean the fecal matter was hitting the rotating device. :)
It's time to stop the Man Gyon Bong Ships and amend the Constitution.
Japanese PM: Continued nuclear development of N. Korea could lead to its collapse(threat?)

"Some Koreans are still very angry at the Japanese.
What goes around comes around."
Virtually every Asian in Asia is still very angry at the Japanese. Many countries have 500 year plans AND 500 year memories of the Nippon atrocities.
Ehhh. It was okay. There was a lot of focus on the humans for a movie that had dern near every monster from previous Godzilla movies. Rodan, Mothra, King Caesar, Gigan, Minila, Angulus, Manda, Kamacuras, Kumonga, Hedorah and 'Zilla (The American version of Godzilla).
Actually, if you're into Japanese monster flicks, get the recent Gamera trilogy. The third one will blow you away. Work of art.
bttt
thanks
You know what I notice about Freepers
They are into South Park Star Trek and Godzilla
