President Medvedev gave the first hint yesterday that Russia was prepared to perform a significant policy U-turn and support US moves for sanctions against Iran.
About time the Russians woke up to the fact that Iran is friendly with them because they are needed onside, once they are able to produce their own Nuclear weapons Iran will suddenly remember that the Russians are not friends of Islam, look at Afghanistan look at Chechnya.
Can the Reds really afford to have Islamic neighbours with a Nuclear capability, Iran would use their new found power to support their Muslim brothers anywhere they could, and don’t forget Iran sponsor lots of other groups with terrorist tags attached to them. Hezbollah for example, Israel would be first in the firing line.
I have said on many occasions that I cannot see Israel sitting idly by and letting the Iranians get the “Bomb” I suspect that their would be action on the Israeli part by the end of this year, certainly by the the early part of the new year on the Iranian Nuclear facilities, as they did with Iraq back in the early 80’s, that attack on Osirak in 1981 put back the Iraqi effort to get a bomb by at least 10 years.It was the world's first air strike against a nuclear plant. An undisclosed number of F-15 interceptors and F-16 fighter bombers destroyed the Osirak reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad, on the orders of Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
So the countdown begins, if Russia do vote alongside the US this Month for increased Sanctions watch the Chinese follow suit, then the green light is given for Israel to finalise plans. Our first inkling that something is about to happen will be when newspapers start hinting at secret visits by Israeli leaders to Moscow.
I believe this is an action that has to be taken for many reasons not least of all Israeli security, but also as a message to other nations, notably in the middle east that going down that path will not be tolerated, we need to be reducing Nuclear weapons around the world not starting new arms races with unstable regimes.
