The main one was a provision that referred to weapons of mass destruction as a threat to international peace and security. Russia believes this could be a prelude to harsher punishment, diplomats said.
Russia doesn't want war in Iran. What else is new? What, you think they'll be getting something good out of it?

I quite fail to see what Russian interest it would be accomplishing. Nor do I see any reason for Russia to act with any degree of commitment outside of its own interests - considering the West refuses to so much as think outside its own interests, forget acting...

As far as the utterly... bad thread title -

There's one country in the world that's been moving to bombing an increasing amount of countries and trying to approve use of tactical nuclear weapons, and it sure ain't Russia.

But don't worry. Putin isn't going to lift a finger - why would he? The west is perfectly capable of screwing things up on their own - much to his country's advantage. Fortunately, he's got things screwed up in Russia enough to not have this advantage seriously reflected on Russia's capability as a threat.

Otherwise, I'm glad to see Russia has at least kept its mistrust towards the west. It's justified. You may not like it, but again - there's no reason for anyone to act outside their own interests. It's realpolitik.
