#1 For the life of me I just cannot figure out why Russia cares. Unless, of course, it has some ~~hopeless~~ under-the-table deals with the Iranians . . . .

#2 Why under the table?

Hell, Russia's building their fucking reactors, all out in the open. Selling them air defense systems, too. Shit, they're clearing out the warehouses, peddling them all sorts of doodads and trinkets - recall the Shkval "jet torpedo", for example? I particularly love how the Black Hats insist that they "invented" the stuff.

It's like a couple of mega-twisted insecurity complex patients who met at group and decided to move in together.

So back to the article: Why are the Russkies against regime change? Lol, they want the checks to clear - and to triangulate against the US, of course.

#3 We sunk those bastards once, one might think they'd shy away from another confrontation until they get back on their feet. Lots of big talk from that side of the ocean lately, but when it comes down to it they always come out short.

#4 Nah, I see Karl behind this. It's a way to get the turbans thinking - "Regime change? Who said anything about regime change? They wouldn't dare!"
