There are probably many people who this scares hell out of. I'm just glad!! for the help with a whole bunch of Serious international NUCLEAR problems! I know you have to WATCH Russia very carefully, but I also still have hopes that we can be better Allies.

1. What a batch of malarkey.

BOTH El Baradei and Ritter explained that Iran has NEITHER the amount of centrifuges it would need to weaponize U-238 nor the expertise to actually do the task.


Why doesn't anyone take a closer look at the 200 nukes Israel has, in defiance of the UN and why they refuse to sign the NPT?

Why are Westerners unable to see that the Arab ME views Israel's nukes with A TON of suspicion, and their search for nuclear weapons is mainly a logical extension of this suspicion and fear that Israel will use their nukes on an Arab nation?

2. So what is the purpose of this Russian offer?

To be on the Arabs' side against Israeli Nukes? I thought the Cold War was over.

they'll go wherever the money is best?

4. The simplest explanation is the most likely, though . . .

not Absolute.

That's Ocam's Razor: The simplest explanation is the best, i.e. most valid.
