    Russia Warns U.S. Against Striking Iran
    By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer
    2 hours, 4 minutes ago

    Russia's top military chief on Thursday warned the United States against launching a military strike against Iran and a top diplomat voiced hope that close cooperation with China could help resolve the Tehran nuclear crisis.

    With tension mounting over Iran's nuclear programs, Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky, the chief of Russia's general staff, warned the United States against attacking Iran.

    "A military scenario can't be ruled out," Baluyevsky was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.

    He said that while Iran's military potential cannot compare to the United States', "it is hard to predict how the Muslim world will respond to the use of force against Iran."

    "This may stir the whole world, and it is crucial to prevent anything like that," Baluyevsky was quoted as saying.

    Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alekseyev, meanwhile, said that cooperation with China could help push Iran toward accepting Moscow's offer to host Iran's uranium enrichment program.

    The Russian proposal has become a centerpiece of international efforts to defuse tensions over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

    "We are counting on the continuation of close contacts with our Chinese colleagues and other interested countries," Alekseyev was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency. He added, however, that the Iranian nuclear issue recently had become "sharper," and "it is too early to assess the effectiveness of our joint steps to resolve it."

    Iran's ambassador to Moscow said Thursday that Tehran hoped Russia would be able to help resolve the international crisis surrounding the Iranian nuclear program.

    "Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which has arisen recently," Gholamreza Ansari said at a meeting with Russian lawmakers.

    Ansari confirmed that a delegation is expected to travel to Moscow on Monday to discuss the proposal. He would not say who will lead it, but the Interfax news agency quoted Vyacheslav Moshkalo, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Tehran, as saying that the team will be headed by Javad Vaeidi, Iran's deputy nuclear negotiator.

    Konstantin Kosachev, the head of Russian parliament's foreign affairs committee, said after his discussions with the ambassador that he was satisfied that the Iranians would be coming in good faith.

    "Iran understands the seriousness of the situation and is ready to continue discussions between experts to reach a compromise on the Russian proposal," he said. He said he had received assurances that "the delegation is getting ready for talks and will have all the necessary authority for conducting negotiations."

    Kosachev also sharply criticized Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's remarks in which he called for Israel's destruction and questioned whether the Holocaust occurred.

    "Such statements don't help strengthen Iran's international prestige," he said with Ansari standing at his side.

    A Western diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the strong international consensus developed so far, including Russia, "is probably the strongest instrument we have going right now in trying to influence Iranian behavior."

    Moscow is deeply concerned about the current Iranian regime's prospects for acquiring nuclear weapons, not only because Russia is geographically located close to Iran, but also because of the impact that could have on other Middle East players' nuclear aspirations, including Saudi Arabia's, the diplomat said.

    The diplomat also noted that by aspiring to a central role in resolving the Iran crisis, Russia wanted to show that it could use the contacts it has built up over the years — including direct communications with the Iranians — to advance the concerns of the international community.

    This muslum- christian conflict was taken to a new level when they attacted the U.S. homeland, and now if you'll watch the news, look at Russia coming in on the other side of the conflict with interests in Iran, and the recent construction of the Russian black sea pipeline, warning the U.S. to not threaten Iran militarily, Russia still has the button for the nukes remaining from the former soviet union, which was given to the C.I.S. until 1993 when it fell apart, then they went back to Russia, which, is still a superpower in nuclear terms.
    They match the U.S. nuke for nuke and theirs are even more powerfull because the increased mega-tonage was needed to destroy our larger cities.
    Isaiah 24:6 says,
    "Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left.

    The only christian muslim conflict is in the mind of Israeli miltary planners.

    Go back to before 2000. The only people talking about christian muslim conflict are Neo Cons. Neo Cons now control the white house. Now the white house talks about christian muslim conflict.

    The christian muslim conflict is being planned by the Israelis so that the superior white technology destroys the religious muslims who know exactly what the Israelis are. Any religious person must be stomped because they can oppose Israel.

    That is why religion is no longer in favor in the west. Religious people are strong opponents. The people of the western slave countries cannot be allowed to become strong enough to challenge Zionist overlordship.

    Sorry. That was Israel that blew up the WTC.

    Why not be honest and tell them all of it? Tell them the christian fundamentalist that the Israelis are allied with believe that only 150,000 people can get into heaven. Seriously. He has a clicker to make sure no extras get in.

    That is why they need christian muslim war. The world population is 5 billion or so. They need to kill 4,999,850,000 people.

    World nuclear war between the USA and Russia and China ought to do the job perfect. Stoke world tensions. Then have one of those new Israeli submarines with cruise missiles "accidentally" launch a missile from off the coast of Iran or China or Russia and away we go.

    Iran really had nothing to do with it, and you can't generalize all christians into one category and all muslims into the other now can you? Didn't think so.
