Russia to Obama: Normalize Iran ties (bypassing Bush Administration!)
Iran Press ^ | Nov 26, 2008 | MGH/RE

Posted on 11/27/2008 9:24:56 AM PST by FocusNexus

Russia says it is in contact with the Obama administration in a bid to convince it to normalize ties with Iran and solve the nuclear issue.

He said US President-elect Barack Obama would have to normalize ties with Iran to reach a solution to the nuclear dispute.

"We are doing it [bypassing the Bush administration and reach Obama's team] through our embassy in Washington D.C. and our contacts with people who are around Barack Obama," Ryabkov added.

Russia and China are making compacts around the world with all of our enemies. They are emboldened and feel that they will be able to play Barack Hussein Obama like a cheap fiddle and pluck the Eagles feathers in the process.

Their influence in central and south America is growing by leaps and bounds and is trampling any vestinge remianing of the Monroe Doctrine.

China is not building its large modern navy or its foreign influence to play in a bathtub with and we'd best be on our guard...but with Obama, I am afraid weare going to be far from it.

Does President Obama have to actually vote “Present” on this, or just stand still? Can’t wait until the Russian Navy starts shipping nuclear missiles to Cuba.

Medvedev also announced in a speech in Lima, Peru, that the Obama administration may renounce the US Missile Defense.

I guess we didn't know we actually elected Medvedev as US president -- I doubt Obama will stand up to him.

Russia’s idea of “solving the nuclear issue” involves the U.S. sitting back and watching Iran build nuclear bombs that they eventually will put atop missiles and launch towards Israel.

Sort of an updated “Final Solution”, if you will.

Were there ever official presidential knee pads ever made??? Looks like Obama is going to need a pair.

This is going to be a sad day for America’s posture as the leader of the free world.

An excellent analysis by John Bolton:

“If President-elect Obama carries through on where I think his real instincts lie on missile defense, which is not to continue it, I think in Moscow they will read that as responding to the threat and indeed the intimidation reflected in Medvedev’s speeches. “

I predict we will normalize relations with Cuba and Iran before his four years is over.

Another criminal violation of the Logan Act by an illegitimate Democrat usurper.

Which is precisely why to continue to pump money into The Chicom economy, albeit in the name of "Free Trade," was patently suicidal and outright ridiculous.

Russia is just stirring the pot. However I am sure there will be light blue, knee pads provided by the new Office of the President-Elect with the lettering readily readable. LOL.

Goodbye Israel. They better rely on someone else because unfortunately this is not looking good for them.

John Bolton makes a good point; the end of the Soviet Union does not mean the end of Russia as a country with different interests from ours. There's a reason why socialism took power in Russia with bloody results, and not everywhere.

And the Russians still have the missiles that the Soviet Union left behind.

I see it coming. The US will give Iran full security assurances. Regime change will be off the table, the sanctions will end, Iran will get it’s way in Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan and in exchange the nuke program will be stopped (officially). Then it’s going to BITE back big time.

'...U.S. sitting back and watching Iran build nuclear bombs that they eventually will put atop missiles and launch towards Israel."

And to think 70%+ Jews voted for Obama. Is it just me, or, do Jews purposively put themselves in dire predictaments throughout history by trusting the wrong freedom fighters side?

I don’t trust anything from the Middle Eastern gutter press (Iran’s PressTV in this case) but this makes sense.

The Russians and Iranians got exactly what they wanted, a weak, idealistic US president like Jimmy Carter.

They are just jumping with joy, super eager to deal with this clown!
