My goodness! Whatever happened to the "indigenous" system they were going to throw together overnight?

Whatever the case, Russia can use some of that down payment to pay for the lawyers.

#3  The Russians have a totally different take on diplomacy than the west. In some ways worse, and in other ways better. But these are formal doctrines, not whimsical at all.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (MID) is their equivalent of the US State Department, but is a lot more orderly, being modeled more off the British foreign ministry.

(Dang, it's hard to get used to seeing the Russian imperial double headed eagle outside of a history book.)

In any event, they are firm believers in "carrot and stick" with every foreign power, but in a completely different way than the US does it.

They'll probably announce that in the morning.

#1  Russia should push the 'send' button & let the missiles transport themselves to Iran (works for me.)
