Exactly, and it can happen. Russia/Stalin has made the mistake before.

Well, if Iran is going to nuke Israel, they better do it before the O is out because if they do it when an American Patriot is in the white house....Iran can look forward to a good bit some material annihilation.

If Russia is saying this to the media, you can bet that Iran has had nukes for a while now.

Russia may be aware of a pending nuclear attack somewhere by the Iranians, and they are trying to distance themselves from the blowback, as Russia was the primary enabler for the Iranian nuclear program.

If this is inevitable. If the consequences of what occurs- whether if they get the bomb or if there is a late stage effort to stop them- are catastrophic, history will rightfully blame one man who had the ability to avoid what will now certainly occur: George W Bush.

Yep we bomb Iran they retaliate oil goes over a hundred and the world’s second biggest oil exporter with safe pipelines to its customers rakes in the moola. I wouldn’t even put it past the loudest voices for war in this country to have some nice safe investments dealing with this.
