Icy Cold Apr 22 2006
Holy shit, how’d this one sneak up on us? Somehow we’ve been teleported back in time forty-five years to the Cold War. Russia supplying anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. I thought either naivety or a simple good-nature explained Russia’s involvement with Iran to help them with nuclear technology (they proclaimed that it was only going to be used for nuclear energy, and therefore peaceful purposes), however anti-aircraft missiles aren’t really dual-purpose and the intention is surely pretty clear. It’s quite an antagonistic move, and certainly one that doesn’t help the diplomatic process.
