Russia to Sell Missiles to Iran and Venezuela

So, what does Barack Obama want to do about this?

Russia snubbed its nose at the United States today by announcing plans to sell military equipment to both Iran and Venezuela.

The head of the state arms exporter said that Russia was negotiating to sell new anti-aircraft systems to Iran despite American objections.

"Contacts between our countries are continuing and we do not see any reason to suspend them," Anatoly Isaikin, general director of Rosoboronexport, told Ria-Novosti at an arms fair in South Africa.

Reports have circulated for some time that Russia is preparing to sell its S-300 surface-to-air missile system to Iran, offering greater protection against a possible US or Israeli attack on the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities. The missiles have a range of more than 150 kilometres and can intercept jets approaching at low altitudes.

This kind of Russian belligerence only serves to remind Americans that we live in a dangerous world, and do we want to trust that world to Mr. Barack "Senator Without a Resume'" Obama.

It's also a wake-up call to Israel. Don't you think they're going to want to strike before those Russian missiles show up?
