Um... what?!
Did Russia just switch sides?
Russia said on Wednesday that it was “deeply concerned” by Israel’s decision to construct hundreds of new homes in east Jerusalem in a move to punish the Palestinians for joining UNESCO.
It added, however, that Iran had notified the International Atomic Energy Agency in due time of the launch of the bunker facility. The ministry says Russia was urging all parties involved in the Iranian nuclear standoff to avoid "ill-considered and abrupt moves," which could undermine prospects for talks with Iran.
The underground Fordow plant had been revealed two years ago and documented, he said. The 20-percent enriched uranium it was to produce would be used for “peaceful and humanitarian” purposes, namely isotopes for cancer treatment, he said.
An official at the IAEA, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, said inspectors were expected to visit Iran “soon” to discuss their worries about possible military aspects to its nuclear program.
Both Soltanieh and the IAEA stressed the U.N. nuclear watchdog had 24-hour cameras there and inspectors to keep it under watch. That seemed unlikely to reassure the United States, though, or its chief Middle East ally, Israel, analysts said.

If I were Russia I would start to wonder what else we arent being told about. If Russia is going to stand by their side im sure they are going to want to be sure its for the right reasons and not because Iran handed Russia a big old bouquet of Ooopsy daisies after the fact.

The concern is ability, not production. This has been stated time and time again.

There is no concern about their ability to produce a nuclear weapon. I have stated this before. They were upset that they were not informed...meaning, if they were informed, they wouldn't be upset. Who knows anyways? Maybe they did know and decided to let Iran have this secret?

Im not referring to Russia. I am referring to the overall situation.
As for the Canada nuke question -
I trust Canadian leadership more than I do Iranian leadership.
Canada hasnt stated time and again they want to wipe Israel off the map.
The Candian government doesnt base its foreign policy off of religious doctrine, and the government in Canada is accountable to the people, where as in Iran its not. Canada doesnt view its military as expendable and require them to be ready to die for a religious cause.
