Iran sends Russia hundreds of ballistic missiles (www.reuters.com)

Iran's provision of around 400 missiles includes many from the Fateh-110 family of short-range ballistic weapons, such as the Zolfaghar, three Iranian sources said. This road-mobile missile is capable of striking targets at a distance of between 300 and 700 km (186 and 435 miles), experts say.

Iran's defence ministry and the Revolutionary Guards - an elite force that oversees Iran's ballistic missile programme - declined to comment. Russia's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The shipments began in early January after a deal was finalised in meetings late last year between Iranian and Russian military and security officials that took place in Tehran and Moscow, one of the Iranian sources said.

Actually there already is a treaty where the USA promised not to station any Nukes in any new Member Country.

Founding Act of 1997, Article IV.

Huh, didn't know about that. I'm going to hazard a guess though that this particular rule has not actually been followed? That sounds much more in line with the America I know.

When you don't know a lot about a situation, it's okay to just shut your fucking mouth instead of parroting the contrarian views you've heard around you.

I do know a lot about it, you're suggesting I don't based on one detail. Shut the fuck up with your imperialist propaganda, it isn't "contrarian" to demand that we make peace with a global superpower rather than start a world war. The working class is all on one side of that potential future war, and we can only win it by not all dying in it.

The contrarian view is to shrug and say "well, guess we all have to die in the capitalists war now, nothing to be done." Realize that us in the American working class are on the same side as the Russian working class. Our enemies are both American and Russian oligarchs,who will happily start a world war for profits.

You might want to go look up what the word contrarian means. Or just shut the fuck up. That would be okay too.

Oh I know what it means. You're actively working against the interests of your class, because you would rather be right than actually succeed. That's contrarian, and it's an utterly idiotic way to engage with the world.

That is not what contrarian means. Do you ever get sick of being wrong?
