| Russia: Threats of force on Iran are unacceptable |
| 2006-10-07 |
| Russia's deputy foreign minister, Alexander Alekseyev, said Friday that his country and China consider threats to use force on Iran "unacceptable." Ultimatums threatening sanctions on the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program are "counterproductive," Alekseyev said. |

| #7 OK, so threats of force are out. How about some *real* force? |

| #6 It's just a matter of time before the Siberian part of Russia becomes the northern regions of China. Russia is collapsing as a force among nations, but it will do a great deal of damage as it goes down, because of its natural resources and nuclear weapons. |

| #5 I think we've sealed the fate of Russia for a long time. From Latvia/Estonia, to Old Yugoslavia, to Ukraine and Georgia, not to mention the Stans and Chechnia they will not be putting any Soviet Union back together for a long time, if ever. That's what all the friction is about, that's why they try to hamstring us every chance they get. They had grand designs of putting the old Union back together and comming back in a big way. But that isn't going to happen now. |

| #4 How I would love to see Russia bite it again. Such hope and potential - betrayed and squandered. |

| #3 Putie, again making his intentions known. Recall how joyful everyone was a few years ago when it was declared that we had "crushed" the Soviet Union? That there was a "peace dividend" to be reveled in. That we could basically disband the military, since it wouldn't be needed in the future utopia ? Har ! The bear may have been wounded, but he crawled to his den and has now regained strenth. A healthy bear is a very dangerous bear. Especially if he's a grizzly, like our "good friend" Putie. |

| #2 Russia can go piss up a rope. Every single thing they do usually amounts to nothing more than pouring gasoline on the fire. |
