We've driven this relationship and we could have anticipated it too.
- We drove it by ripping up a working non-proliferation agreement. Thanks Trump.
- Autocrats seek autocrats. We didn’t do anything to make dictators and murderers want to be in familiar company
- Probably American.
- We have anticipated it. That's why our weapon systems are so good vs. Russian tactics.
Doesn't sound like news. But why to annouce it? Maybe that's the way to make these deals have more weight?
- Nuclear technologies on the table?
  
  Maybe that. In exchange for advancing drones for example. It's just the only country Russia ever shared them to is Belarus, the country they imported police forces in the wake of riots. It's that close relationship. I don't know if Iran has that privilege or Russia feels so desperate to share nukes and nuke accesories to a country it doesn't control like that. Either way, Iran getting nukes is as bad as it can be.
LOL, all "Russian military innovation" in the past 30 years either been via theft or were just outright lies about their capability.
Russia =/= USSR
Bush Jr made it all happen. What a guy!
I know there are myriad problems with this idea, and the U.S. have failed miserably at this pretty much every time we tried it in the past, but; is there no feasible way we could covertly support a revolution to overthrow the Iranian government? The people certainly want it. Could we not help them?
- We did enough to meddle into their affairs in the past and the end result is what you see now. There is no business for the US to be there. Although... this development changes a lot. Honestly this is another Trump/Bolton/war hawk conservative fuck up. By canceling the nuclear deal the US has no other inroads to talk directly with higher up officials in Iran. Even if it didn't stop a missile program it would have built a bridge that would have given SOME access to the regime. Now we are only looking over the fence at them and our only voice is going to be our military. What a shit show of geopolitics we've been lead into thanks to Trump. This is what Christians want more of? I hope we send all their children to war because I'm not sending mine.
- I think we tried this a few years ago in a soft way, but it didn't work. Iran executed a lot of people.
  Now the Iran leaders are plenty old and we're waiting for them to die to see the new government.
