#1 To crush GEORGIA???

To wit,

* ION DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > RUSSAI TO FLATTEN GEORGIA IFF IRAN ATTACKED | RUSSIA EXPECTING ATTACK ON IRAN BY SUMMER [2012], PLANS TO MOVE TROOPS TO PROTECT INTERESTS, POSSIBLE ISLAMIST ENCLAVE [agz US? Israeli? Milfors = attacks].

Methinks its more correct to say Russia is for Russia as usual + will "improve" its Borders vee perceived threats from Nuclear? Iran + Radical Islamist MilTerrs, Caucasus + CentAsia Insurgency, ISLAMIST-led? AFPAK, etc. by unilaterally forcibly extending it???

Lest we fergit, ROGOZIN = IRAN ATTACK IS A DIRECT MILITARY THREAT TO RUSSIA.

* SAME > IRAN TO LINK CASPIAN SEA WID PERSIAN GULF, as per Energy trade vee prosed 680-kms long Iran-Caspian Canal system.

Iran Energy Minister Majid Namjou.

IIUC, IRAN IS GIVING RIVAL TURKEY "DA BIRD" [Finger] AS PER TURKEY'S SIMILAR CANAL PROJECT.

#2 The $$$ Russia spends on acquiring Drone Techs would be a serious change vee below.

* WORLD MIL FORUM > US EXPERTS SAY CHINA MAY BE DEVELOP "UNMANNED AIRCRAFT CARRIERS" TO SUBVERT TRADITIONAL NAVAL + AIR, OTHER WARFARE, POTEN IN TIME TO BECOME THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO THE US NAVY. RUSSIA + INDIA MOSTLY DISINTERESTED IN DEV UNMANNED OR DRONE TECHNOLOGIES FOR PRIMARY/MAJOR COMBAT ROLES.

* SAME > CHINA COULD ASYMMETRICALLY COPY? DURING THE US-USSR COLD WAR IN THE EARLY 1960'S, TAIWAN'S MILITARY MULLED PROCURING BOEING + GENERAL ELECTRIC'S PROPOSED "SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT CARRIER" TO HELP THE US INTERCEPT SOVIET OR RED CHINESE STRATEGIC BOMBERS IN EARLY-STAGE/PHASE
"POINT DEFENSE". POST-COLD WAR MODERNIZATION OF CONCEPT AS "SUBMARINE DRONE STRIKE-BOMBER CARRIER" TO SINK THE US NAVY.

* SAME > EXPERTS: US-CHINA WORLD WAR MAY OCCUR IN 2027.

The US seemingly gets a 9-10 Yarn breather vee 1990's Net + then Sino-Russian "War agz US not only Possible but Desired circa Year 2018" - 9-11 + GWOT + NUCLEAR IRAN, NUCLEAR RADICAL ISLAM/MILTERRS NOTWITHSTANDING???
