What a bizarre twist of events that 70 years after WW2, the Western nations are the aggressors and the so called Communists are the peace keepers.

I am positive that the US would heed Russia's warning, even though I don't think the US is planning on attacking Iran. Israel however is a loose cannon. They will GLADLY drag the US into a war with Russia, all the while claiming it a "holy war," which makes them no better than the jihadists of the Muslim community. War in the name of religion, when religion is supposed to promote peace and individual values, is just preposterous in my view. If Israel does strike Iran, I only hope that the US has the sense enough to stay out of the mix.

Isnt this what they said about Libya and Syria as well? Look, just last week they abandoned their port in Syria with their tails between their legs as they know it is imminent.
Russia Sees No Need to Withdraw Naval Base from Syria Russian Navy's technical maintenance base in Syrian port Tartus operates as usual, there are no need to evacuate personnel and equipment, a spokesman of Russian General Staff told Interfax-AVN on Sept 4. "Indeed, deployment plan of the Russian Navy task force implied possible evacuation of Russian staff from Tartus. With this end in view, Russian landing ships called in Tartus early in Aug to refuel and replenish supplies. However, neither people nor equipment were taken aboard", said the interviewee. He specified that the plan was made for the case of aggravation in Syrian crisis. It was supposed to evacuate people, arms, documents, and valuable equipment to Novorossiysk. "The rest things were to be destroyed by a special-purpose team", the spokesman said.

Personally I am getting a little tired of all the saber rattling. I say if it is gonna hit the fan then it's go time...lets just get it over and done with.
With that said, I don't think Israel or America should take any preemptive action against Iran.
Iran swears that they are only building for "peaceful" purposes, now Russia is confirms that as well.
Fine!!...that will seal Iran's death warrant if they pop a nuke on Israel.
Let them build their nuclear program, and if they use it against Israel or any other country then I say nuke Iran clean off the face of the earth and change it's name to Nuclear Waste Area.
Not allot China or Russia can say about that...since they endorse and are convinced Iran's nuclear program is for "peaceful purposes"
This is the REAL American government now days. I repeat they are not Christians.
