We don't have to get stuck on the question of which civilization Orthodox Russia belongs to. I'm just proposing to you that the United States and her allies shouldn't blindly follow Russia's foreign policy proscriptions and prescriptions, especially when Russia and China are partnering against them.

No duh. I don't even believe in civilization influences that much. Napoleon said show me a map and I will tell you what a nation's priorities are (or words to that affect).

I'm thinking that your major mistakes around here, if you want to keep your job, is making everything personal. You seem like a fine fellow though, but just to be clear, without any inside knowledge, my speculation is Russian know how is responsible for the Ayatollah's nuclear weapon program and the means to deliver them.

Sometimes we all have to step back and remember who has nuclear weapons pointed at the good old USA.
