Russia says no to the Iran sanctions!

Russia not agreeing with the United states is not surprising and if they had agreed with them, then that would have made some eyebrows rise. Anyway Russia has made its position known publicly and Russia can count on both China and India to oppose the Iran sanctions. As things stand, the current economic sanctions on Iran and its banks do not need the other countries to support the enforcement of these sanctions. These are 'stand alone' sanctions, that is they are sanctions passed on by one country against another one and as such it is puzzling as to what Russia hopes to accomplish by going against these sanctions publicly.

Perestroika rising??

Is the Russian curtain coming down fast?could the Iron curtain go back on?these are some of the questions that are troubling the American policy makers.and they have every reason to be concerned.when Putin announced his plans to run for the post of the Prime minister many a eyebrow were raised.Putin is slowly but surely increasing his iron grip on Kremlin.when the troublesome journalist was taken care of,allegedly by Putin and his henchmen,that gave an indication of things to come.as things stand today,free speech is going and it is to be slowly but surely followed by democracy.
when are the Russians going to sit up and take note that their very freedom is now in jeopardy?Russia,were is your democracy??
