Yes, it's true. The Russians are jumping the gun. Before any nuclear
agreement has been signed with Iran, they've announced that they're
selling almost a billion dollars worth of anti-aircraft missiles to the
Devil Iran. They are blatantly ignoring the anti-Iran sanctions and
acting as if Iran has a right to self-defense. This in open defiance of
the U.S.-organized stranglehold on Iran.
So those treacherous Russians are at it again. They're failing to conform to U.S. diktat. Don't they get it? The U.S. rules the world. How many times do they have to be told that?
The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, made a few somewhat pointed comments in announcing the sale. [1]
He noted that the weapons were purely defensive, and thus a threat to no one.
Mr.
Lavrov apparently doesn't understand the definition of the world
“threat.” A “threat,” as defined by the U.S., and Israel too, which is
germane here, means a country that needs to be attacked. For example,
Iraq was a “threat” to the U.S. in 2003, necessitating its invasion and
conquest. A “threat” is also the existence of a government or political entity
that defies the wishes of the U.S. or Israel or opposes them in any
way. Thus it is “threatening” if Iran might be able to shoot down U.S.
or Israeli warplanes that are bombing it. Aggression is self-defense,
and self-defense is aggression. This is how reality is inverted by
propaganda. (You see why Russia too is a “threat” because it refuses to
roll over and play dead as NATO pushes right up to Russia's borders, a
doublecross of the deal Gorbachev made to allow the reunification of
Germany. And it won't let the U.S. take over Ukraine, another “threat.”)
We would like to know, Misters Lavrov and Putin, what will
you say to the families of any U.S. or Israeli pilots who are shot down
while bravely bombing Iran? Your evil defensive missiles are certainly a
threat to those noble pilots doing their duty! How will you answer to
them for your crime?
Lavrov also referenced the U.S.-backed
Saudi aggression against Yemen, conducted while the Saudis keep
screeching about Iranian aggression in Yemen (nonsense that is echoed by
the U.S. power establishment) as indicating a need at this time for
Iran to be concerned with defending itself. (Not to mention the
ever-present, decades-long threat of U.S. or Israeli aerial assault.
Which would be on top of the planted explosives, the assassinations, the
computer sabotage, and who knows what else those two parties have
actually done and keep doing to Iran- and the continuation of this
covert violence is by no means ruled out by the outline agreement for a
nuclear deal with Iran released by the White House at the start of
April.) But everyone knows that what's happening in Yemen is all Iran's fault (everyone who accepts Saudi and Western propaganda without question, that is).
And Lavrov even had the cheek to assert that Russia needed the money
from the missile sale because of U.S.-EU sanctions imposed on Russia
over Ukraine! (The price tag in U.S. dollars is around $800 million.)
Well, Sergey, let us explain something to you! Sanctions were imposed on Russia for a very good reason. Russia outrageously moved
to defend its own interests in a state on its very border, Ukraine,
which, although 5,000 miles away from the U.S., rightly belongs in the
U.S. bloc. If you Russians weren't so intent on restarting the Cold War
and conquering all of Europe, maybe you'd understand this self-evident
fact. It's very naughty of you to try and evade your punishment for your
misbehavior! [2]
As if this weren't bad enough, now
Russia has been cozying up to China, in an attempt to counter the fair
and just U.S.-EU sanctions on Russia. Russia knows damn well it's supposed to join the U.S. in containing China, not allying with
it! When is Russia going to start behaving properly so it can join the
Civilized Community of Nations? (CCN, an imaginary, purely rhetorical
club of countries that do the bidding of the U.S.)
Defending its
core strategic interests in Ukraine, trying to counter sanctions it
deserves to have inflicted on it, selling purely defensive weapons to a
nation the U.S. and Israel want to keep under threat of aerial attack-
how much more of this does Putin expect the West to put up with?
Some people are just nasty thugs, I guess. What can you expect from a former secret policeman? So unlike civilized leaders,
like George H.W. Bush, 41st president of the U.S. and former Director
of the CIA! (Well, he DID help murder Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt
in that earlier job, but they deserved to die. As the terrorist
bombmaker Michael Vernon Townley explained, they were enemy soldiers in a
war. And all those Cuban exile terrorists Bush the Elder protected?
They're Freedom Fighters.TM Anyway, his son Jeb wanted to be Governor of
Florida.)
1] Lavrov said: "I want to stress that S-300
is an air defense missile system, which is of a purely defensive nature.
It is not designed for attacks and will not put at risk the security of
any regional state, including Israel. But for Iran, taking into account
a very tense situation in the region surrounding it, modern
anti-aircraft systems are of great importance. Proof of this is the
rapid and very worrying recent developments around Yemen and the
development of a military situation around this country."
2] Actually 4,881 miles as the crow flies from Washington, DC to Kiev, Ukraine. Or 7,855 kilometers, if you prefer.
