Tsk, tsk.

If the United States or Israel goes to war with Iran, then Russia will be there to fight with them. Ahmadinejad and Putin signed an alliance. It would end up a loss for the United States and most certainly for Israel if a war began, and even if the United States took Iran, then the American economy would be destroyed when the Iranians sabotage and destroy their oil wells whilst shipping reserve barrels to Russia. They would bleed this country dry. If they stopped giving us oil, the price per barrel would soar well over $200.

With Russia having a load of nuclear weapons, I wouldn't be surprised either if it did come to nuclear war, in which case North Korea would join Russia and Iran since they all kind of stick together and have good relations with one another.

I see a lot of wishfull thinking here SH. Russian and Germany also signed a pact once and look how that turned out. What happens if the Russians don't come and pull your chestnuts out of the fire you created? What if, for example, the allies were to promise Russia that warm water port they've always wanted, and maybe half the oil fields in return for staying out of it?

You can't seriously believe Russia will go to nuclear war for Iran?
