Russia Suddenly Completely Freaked Out By Iran Nuke Program
Uhm, didn’t these guys create Iran’s nuke program?
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov denounced Iran on Wednesday for constantly showing its intentions to develop rocket technologies and enrich uranium, agencies said.
“We don’t approve of Iran’s permanent demonstration of its intentions to develop its rocket sector and continue to enrich uranium,” Lavrov was quoted by the RIA Novosti and Interfax news agencies as saying.
“It’s impossible to ignore the fact that problems with Iran’s nuclear programme have arisen in recent years. While they haven’t been resolved it would be better to refrain from actions that raise tensions and create the impression Iran is ignoring the international community,” he said.
Lavrov, who was speaking en route from an EU-Russia meeting in Ljubljana, said it was necessary for all sides in talks on Iran to concentrate on resolving the matter at hand rather than being guided by “considerations connected to the political agenda of the day,” ITAR-TASS reported.
Earlier this month Iran fired a rocket into space to mark the opening of its first space center, hailing the base’s inauguration as a step in its battle against what it sees as Western dominance.
Meanwhile Tehran has continued to enrich uranium, despite the fact that Russia is supply uranium for the Bushehr nuclear power station being built by Moscow in the south of the Islamic republic.
Western countries suspect that Iran’s stated aim of developing nuclear power may be a cover for an atomic weapons programme, something Tehran denies.
Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and has relatively close ties to Iran.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

They finally looked at a map and saw how close they are!
Maybe Putin’s finally realizing that by helping Iran arm itself he’s giving the US a reason to box Russia in with anti missile missiles.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:57 amHoneymoon’s over, eh? I knew it wouldn’t last. “Rebound” love affairs never do … The Monkeyboy bitch took and took from you, and gave you nothing in return … Probably didn’t even “put-out” for you.
Too bad, baby … I’ve moved on.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:03 pmWonder if this has anything to do with behind closed doors negotiating on us selling several of their neighbors a missle defense network.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:04 pmFucking Ruskys have a “flair for the obvious” don’t they?
Military translation: You’ve offered no new insight and have contributed nothing to the conversation.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:07 pmAnd they will do nothing of course…hollow words from the Commies.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:17 pmThis is evil. So, it’s the “actions” arising from “unresolved” “problems” with “Iran’s nuclear programme” that are creating a *FALSE IMPRESSION* that Iran is ignoring the international community???????
What would the korrect impression be then? Iran is not ignoring the international community, they are __________. (?)
February 13th, 2008 at 12:51 pmSo is this fake shock? Must be getting some heat that we are unaware of and needed to respond.
February 13th, 2008 at 2:10 pmThe US doesn’t have to worry about a massive invasion of muslims swarming up over the southern border. There’s too many Mexicans in the way.
Russia, on the other hand, has always worried about it’s soft underbelly. Putin’s been trying to play the muj off against us, but I think he’s worried that the next president will be a surrender monkey.
If we pull out from the region, the muj will turn their eyes to the Lesser Satan right next to them: Russia. Then, Putin will have a Beslan every week.
To the west, a rapidly Islamizing Europe. To the south, waves of jihadis and refugees fleeing the Hell-on-Earth the Mid East would become. To the east, China salivating over the resources of Siberia.
Not a pretty picture. Oh, well, better them than us.
