Not unlike Tony Blair's "45 minutes from WMD's".
I guess the US admin would need something as big as another war to distract the public from the crap that is hitting the fan there at the moment.
I just feel sorry for all citizens involved.

Hence why this is the WWIII thread.
Again, I don't think Obama has the stones to go into Iran unless he really does want to provoke WWIII. Either that or he's just plain stupid enough to think that Russia isn't serious.

Thanks a million. Very informative. It froze half way through. Will watch the rest once it loads.
But I get what you mean.
I think Russia would very actively support Iran in the form of weapons and equipment.
Russia’s Caspian Sea fleet will get 16 new warships by 2020, the Russian Navy Commander Vladimir Vysotsky has said. It is also planned to deploy coastal missile systems in the area. Speaking at a session of the Russian government's Maritime Board on Wednesday, Vysotsky said that the military flotilla based on the Caspian Sea will be provided with “at least 16” new ships by 2020, reports Interfax. In this year alone, the unit will receive the missile carrying boats “Tatarstan” and “Volgodonsk”, as well as three assault ships. It is also planned to extend piers at the port of Dagestan’s capital, Makhachkala. This way the fleet will be made up of two units: one based in Makhachkala and the other one in Astrakhan – a port city on the Volga River delta. In addition, the Russian Navy is to deploy new coastal missile units and aviation groups in this strategically-important and oil-rich region of the country.
