During conversations with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, former Russian President and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin referred to Iran’s activities as Russia’s “No. 1 security threat.”

If they just now realized that Iran is a problem then they seem as brainwashed as the American Left. Why the hell would Russia supply technical assistance for nukes to an Islamic power? Or were they just opposing the US? Or trying to screw Israel?

Why the hell did China teach Pakistan how to make the bomb?

I thought political stupidity was an American thing, maybe there is something I am missing.

No, China has sold maraging steel to Iran. source

Maraging steel is used for uranium gas centrifuges, and in some countries for space rockets.

Russia to start Iran nuclear plant by year end: http://iht.com/articles/reuters/2009/02/05/africa/OUKWD-UK-IRAN-NUCLEAR-RUSSIA.php

Maybe Russia has been woken up by the satellite launch (if it's real, quite possibly it isn't), but that plant is getting built.
