The US asked Russia for help on both the North Korea and Iranian issues. Russia helped by selling anti-aircraft missile's to Iran. They countined to help the US by selling additional weapons in Venezuelan. In fact Russia seems to have no problem "stuffing" the Middle East with its own weapons in order to 'help' the US. Now they are cross when a plan is devised that doesn't require their special 'help'.
I would be more than happy to see us not place missiles any where if Russia would not sell Nuc technology to unstable countries that would imprison you if you 'draw' a cartoon pic of Muhammad or have a western style looking hair cut.
Iran "unstable"!?
What can be more stable then Islamic theocracy?!
RF officially stopped selling any defense-related stuff to DPRK this month.
Selling SAMs is harmless to anyone but aggressors. Face it like you did in Indochina 40 years ago. You ain't going to win without losses. More SAMs everywhere will secure poor people from being bombed to "stone age" by "democratisators".
Venezuela pays money, we sell our product. What's wrong with that? Capitalism, isn't it? We don't give our Kalashnikov's automats made in Izhevsk for free.
Well, you probably have obvious moral problems. Justifying bold aggression and mass-murder isn't what I expected from American Democracy that I was taught to love in Soviet school.
