It’s Funny When It Happens To Them
By Wyatt Earp | May 26, 2010
Aww, Iran and Russia are having a lover’s spat. The nations are at odds because Russia has agreed to UN sanctions against Iran relating to their nuclear program. Perhaps Russia, an Iranian ally, finally saw the sense in standing with the rest of the world against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s murderous regime.
Or maybe the Russians figure if they support the sanctions, there will be something in it for them. Either way, it’s great watching them clash swords. I’ll get the popcorn!
In unusually strong criticism of Russia, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad admonished the Kremlin for bowing to what he said was U.S. pressure to agree on sanctions and bluntly warned President Dmitry Medvedev to be more cautious.
“If I were the Russian president, when making decisions about subjects related to a great nation (Iran) … I would act more cautiously, I would think more,” Ahmadinejad said in a televised outdoor speech.
Within hours, the Kremlin’s top foreign policy adviser dismissed Ahmadinejad’s criticism, telling the Iranian president to refrain from “political demagoguery”.
“No one has ever managed to preserve one’s authority with political demagoguery. I am convinced, the thousand-year history of Iran itself is evidence of this,” Sergei Prikhodko said in a statement read out by a Kremlin spokeswoman.
Personally, I think Iran’s honor is being challenged. If they had any balls they would launch a full-scale attack on Russia. Or are you too much of a puss-aah, Ahmadinejad? Heh.

Medvedev approved the sanctions because he was pissed at Ahmadinejad for not telling him where the “nuclear wessels” were.

Are the Iranians still holding Checkov?
This is good news in an otherwise, badly handeled political and strategically bleak administration. So in spite of anything that obambi and the H-word have done,
we have Russia and Iran at political odds. Cool! However situtations like this, have and will, change at the drop of a hat. It must be pounded into Imadinnerjackets head from now on that Russians are still, afterall, only… infidels, so I agree with Wyatt, Dinnerjacket should invade to regain his lost honor to such a lowly infidel.

Scary thing is though, if Russia didn’t use nukes, Dinnerjacket might win.

Ahmadenijihad won’t attack Russia. He’ll wipe out his entire arsenal and have nothing left for his real enemy, Israel.
Remember, too, Obama is an apostate to the Dinnerjacket man. So there’s no way in Mohammed that he will deal with The Won.

John D – Thank you, Mr. Chekov.
Jon – What better way to enjoy the summer than by watching them smite each other?
Bob – Yeah, it’s a pipe dream, but a good pipe dream.

We can always dream.But sonner or later Obama will try to tax our dreams.

Somebody should remind Dinnerjacket about the time some fun-seeking yoots tried storming the Soviet embassy after successfully taking Americans hostage. The guards repelled boarders with guns and water cannons, but the money shot came later.
The Russian ambassador visited the Ayatollah and told him if you try that **** today, tomorrow there would be no Iran.
