Iran is at the negotiating table partly because its presumptive allies, Russia and China, demand that it take steps to demonstrate the peaceful intent of its nuclear program.

Wrong. They are using the talks as a stalling tactic in the attempt to build a nuclear weapon before military action is taken.

Anyone depending on Russia in general and Putin in particular are beyond naive. Bush 43 may have gotten a sense of his soul in Slovenia. Problem is, he failed to mention or recognize it was dark.

Large Russian naval bases in Tartus Syria.

Think Russia is going to let NATO or Obama attack their naval facilities and over-run the country !?
