| Russia warns US against attacking Iran |
| 2010-02-18 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] The chief of Russia's General Staff, Nikolai Makarov, has warned the US against striking Iran over the country's nuclear program. "The consequences, I believe, would be dreadful for Iran, as well as Russia, the entire Asia-Pacific community," Makarov said on Wednesday. The Russian military chief further suggested that the United States might turn its military attention on the Islamic Republic once its operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have been completed. Amid a US campaign to drum up support for new anti-Iran sanctions, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned on Tuesday that world powers would "regret" any moves against the country. "If anybody seeks to create problems for Iran, our response will not be like before," Ahmadinejad said at a press conference in Tehran. "Something will be done in response that will make them (the world powers) regret [their action]," the Iranian chief executive added. "However, we prefer they steer towards cooperation [with Iran]." President Ahmadinejad made the remarks as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was wrapping up her visit to the Middle East, where she stopped in Qatar and Saudi Arabia to seek the backing of the Arab world's heavyweights against Tehran's nuclear drive. Tehran says its nuclear program is directed at the civilian applications of the technology and has called for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction around the globe. The West, however, accuses the country of seeking military ends in its pursuit. The United States has spearheaded efforts to slap new UN Security Council sanctions against Iran, after the country announced the production of the first batch of 20 percent-enriched uranium to make fuel for a medical research reactor in Tehran. |

| #8 No need for a warning, Obumble's not going to do a thing (other than stern letter or three). |

| #7 Build nuclear plants and convince the Chinese to do the same. Convince the Brazilians to push their ethonal engines to the third world and get the US in place to sell flexi-fuel engines to enable current cars to convert over. Get as many people out of the oil buying business and let the middle east eat sand (and buy Russian weapons with sand). |

| #2 So what DID the Russians DO when we first went into Iraq? ( AND Saddam was gonna give us the Mother was he? The Moslem Mother? Yeah..so does Iran) I seem to remember a Russian Embassy Convoy fleeing toward Jordan being shot up on the highway when they tried to drive through an American checkpoint without slowing down and saying who they were. Russia has a border with Iran. But WE dont need to go there or even close. Just rip off Khuzestan Province (its just outside Kirkuk anyway) and 87% of Iran's wallet in Oil and THEN occupy it with lots of Iraqis who get a big cut for their co-operation. Cede it to them to keep. I think we can step into the backround while they "stabilize" the place. Let the Moslems police the Moslems. Ahvaz isnt full of Persians anyway. We will be busy hitting all the passes over the Zagros Mts. ( there are only about seven narrow roads up there and bleeding the Iranian relief columns white. Land Marines and take Bandar Abbas and take control of the Straits of Hormuz (NEVER give that back EVER just like the Brits still have Gibraltar.)..And bomb the only gasoline refinery and the only major N/S railway line from the Caspian to the Gulf to open holes and trestle rubble. Then watch Iran solve the problem of moving military relief south to Bandar Abbas the hard way. Leave the entire country to rot and smoke after that..let 'em keep the rest. Set up Base and lay out the wire. Tell 'em to come and take it back. Hi there, Big Nose. No need to occupy it. Just take those two pieces of Real Estate and stop and let them come on. Chew them to hell on the roads with air strikes. No Oil, no gasoline, no rail transport, no air cover....wave and blow them a kiss. No need to occupy them. Russia can have what they want if they want any. Help yourself....and say hello to the buzzards. You want to "negotiate"? Sign here. |
