WTF, Over?

Russia hates China, has no love for the Persians whatsoever, and NK is nothing but a hopeless pimple on the butt of China: North Korea's economy is estimated to be about 1/3rd the economy of Idaho. They can't feed their own people, let alone help Russia.

Iran's economy is about the size of Russia's. They aren't going to prop up Russia unless there's something inn it for them, like nukes.

China won't put up with Russia providing nukes to Iran. China looks at Russia like a bunch of uncivilized Troglodytes, but won't pass up an opportunity to take advantage of someone when they are down. Meaning, China will get the better end of any deal with Russia.

Ribka better start planning a trip to ole Poot's funeral, because that's the next newsflash.
