| #8 Even with Russian fuel, there is a bit of doubt about how well the Bushehr plant will work. This plant has been under construction for 4 decades and probably has a mixed match set of parts (and even the best Russian nuclear plants aren't that great). Russia may be delaying the opening because they don't want the world to know how crappy their work is. |

| #5 Muslims rape Russian schoolgirls and the Russian government gives Muslims money and weapons. So no different than Western governments. Russia is now "normal". |

| #4 "You would think that an Iran armed w/ nukes makes Mother Russia less secure." Analogous to China and North Korea. Both are tigers by the tail. |

| #1 The Russian message, especially to Europe, is actually as follows: While you are busy talking about sanctions, without causing yourselves harm, we are implementing them and paying a price for it. The reason for Russia's position is that it is truly afraid of an Iran armed with nuclear weapons. It is therefore not surprising that Iran has reacted so furiously to Moscow's position and has already voiced threats of revenge, as can be seen from the press clippings of the Middle East Media Research Institute: "It has stabbed us in the back," said Mohammed Nabi Rudaki, of the Iranian parliament's foreign affairs and defense committee, while an editorial newspaper of Aftabi Yezdi said, "One cannot expect more from the KGB spies," referring of course to the former KGB colonel, Russian President Vladimir Putin. The only "price" that Russia's paying is for its own stupidity. Did Putin—or anyone else for that matter—really think that Beslan was a one-off? Iran and the MME (Muslim Middle East) have hundreds of Beslans planned for anyone idiotic enough to ignore their threat. Russia's withholding of the Iranian nuclear fuel is merely a glimmering of self-preservation. |
