On a serious not though, Putin has got to go. Along with the crazy short man in Iran.

January 18, 2007 · Iran may be under United Nations sanctions for nuclear arms technology, but Russia has recently sold Tehran new conventional weapons. This week, Moscow said it has completed deliveries of anti-aircraft missiles — and it is ready to sell more arms to Iran.

Iran may be under United Nations sanctions for nuclear-arms technology, but Russia has recently sold Tehran new conventional weapons. This week, Moscow said it has delivered anti-aircraft missiles to the country.

Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov announced the fulfillment of Moscow’s billion-dollar deal with Iran to reporters on Tuesday.

“We have supplied modern, short-range TOR-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems in accordance with our contracts,” he said. “Iran is not under international sanctions.”

The deal has angered Washington, which accuses Iran of being the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Tehran, which is suspected of developing a secret nuclear arms program, is also under U.N. sanctions against atomic materials and technology.

But that hasn’t stopped Russia from building a nuclear power plant in Iran, which says it’s only interested in atomic energy for peaceful purposes.

Defense Minister Ivanov said this week that Moscow may supply Tehran with more weapons in the future.

“If Iran wants to buy defensive, I underline defensive, equipment for its armed forces,” Ivanov said, “then why not?”

Tehran’s recently acquired TOR-MI missiles are highly advanced battlefield weapons mounted on armored vehicles. They were designed by the Soviet Union to protect tank and infantry formations in a conflict with NATO forces in Europe.

Pavel Felgenhauer, a leading defense analyst, says the missiles are offensive, not defensive weapons.

“This is a serious development,” Felgenhauer said.” It gives the Iranians military possibilities if they can sort of believe that they can withstand to some extent American air supremacy in any kind of clash on the battlefield.”

Iran isn’t the only U.S. opponent Russia supplies with weapons. Moscow became the largest arms supplier to developing countries last year. Its biggest customers are India and China. But Russia also sells arms to countries like Venezuela and Syria.

Israel has accused Syria of supplying Russian rockets to Hezbollah — something Moscow denies.

The United States recently enacted sanctions against the main state arms export company, Rosoboronexport, and other Russian arms companies. But the growing standoff looks set to worsen strained relations between the two countries.

Once again I ask:

How long do we sit on our nice warm couches and wait?

MOSCOW —  President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow could take “retaliatory steps” if Washington proceeds with plans to build a missile defense system for Europe, including possibly aiming nuclear weapons at targets on the continent.

Speaking to foreign reporters days before he heads to Germany for the annual summit with President Bush and the other Group of Eight leaders, Putin assailed the White House plan to place a radar system in the Czech Republic and interceptor missiles in neighboring Poland. Washington says the system is needed to counter a potential threat from Iran.

In an interview released Monday, Putin suggested that Russia may respond to the threat by aiming its nuclear weapons at Europe.

“If a part of the strategic nuclear potential of the United States appears in Europe and, in the opinion of our military specialists, will threaten us, then we will have to take appropriate steps in response. What kind of steps? We will have to have new targets in Europe,” Putin said, according to a transcript released by the Kremlin. These could be targeted with “ballistic or cruise missiles or maybe a completely new system” he said.

Wow, Putin is a freaken maniac! I have never, never liked Putin. Putin is just another communist dictator that wants to bring Russia back to the Soviet Union! Putin has got to go! If Russia is going to have any kind of a future ahead of them they need to do away with Vladimir. I have always said that Putin just took charge made plans to make it back into the Soviet Union and put frosting on the top to make it look good to the Western world. Putin has said over and over again that he is sick of Russia being a second world power and is sick of the US being the only real world power and said if he has to use Nuclear Weapons to go somewhere than he will!  People the signs are bright orange and they have been for a while!

We may not know it but I believe Russia is in utter turmoil. I believe Russia is making enemies to hide their own problems. I believe Putin has successfully reinstated the KGB and they are going around assassinating anyone that goes against them. Look at how many reporters have died in Russia and Europe in the last couple months. They all had one tie to each other, they publically spoke out against Putin!

To all you democrats, according to Putin he’s just like you:

“I am an absolute and pure democrat,” Putin said.

And on that note I’ll end this post.

 If we don’t do something we may enter another cold war and this time it may get hot, nuclear hot.

Russia needs to be saved, Putins Got To Go
