TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin made clear to Washington on Tuesday that Russia would not accept military action against Iran and he invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Moscow for talks.
Putin made the invitation to Ahmadinejad, shunned by the West which fears his nuclear programme is a cover for building atomic weapons, after meeting him and leaders of other Caspian Sea states who ruled out any strikes on Iran from their region.
Dates for Ahmadinejad's visit would be arranged through diplomatic channels, RIA news agency quoted a statement by the two leaders as saying.
Earlier, in comments aimed at the United States, Putin said during his talks in Iran: "We should not even think of using force in this region."
It's essential to see some balance to the potentially dangerous statements made in the west by politicians who believe in their "god given inspirations" of superiority .
If there's any upside, Russian missles probably wouldn't make it over the Atlantic...they'd probably fall about 3000 miles short.........OOPS, sorry 'bout your luck.....
And just who is serving the people well in our present crisis? In the last few years we have seen our liberties and human rights eroded by people who hold political positions ( not necessarily voted in) .
And just who is serving the people well in our present crisis? In the last few years we have seen our liberties and human rights eroded by government policies on the pretext of fighting terrorism; The world is in crisis. Tony Blair said on 5 August 2005 in the aftermath of the July bombings
"Let no one be in any doubt. The rules of the game are changing."
He described the measures taken as countering terrorism, threats to human rights, the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law. The fact is the government started changing the rules well before then in order to tighten the noose on society.
