From Russia with love, again

When an impartial observer looks over the evidence, such as the alleged murder of an anti-Putin journalist in Moscow, the alleged poisoning of an anti-Putin ex KGB agent in Britain and now the announcement of arms sales to the nutcake in Iran it sounds for all the world like a coming-out party for Putey. Is there any other conclusion left to make?

For more fun simply add the above assertions to earlier ones about Russia's pre-invasion assistance to Saddam or the alleged poisoning of Ukrainian political candidate Victor Yushchenko, and you've got the trifecta.

The cold war may officially be over but to think Russia has no geopolitical interest in their own region is certainly naive. The fall of the Kremlin gave the Russians a pass since everyone was lured into the belief they were no longer a world threat, or gasp, perhaps even an ally. The death of Mr. Litvinenko should end that fantasy once and for all.
