I sincerely hope we are not simply being played....I pray no...BUT, this is from today's news meaning in the context of what has just transpired.
"AFP - Russian President Vladimir Putin will offer to supply Iran S-300 air defence missile systems as well as build a second reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, the Kommersant business daily reported Wednesday.
Putin will renew an old offer to supply Iran with five of the sophisticated ground-to-air missile systems at a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rowhani on Friday, Kommersant said, quoting a souce close to the Kremlin."

I would love to have warm and fuzziness about the whole thing, but I do not. I am a bit encouraged by statements that there have been discussions as I thought we were pretty much ignoring the ME....I still have concerns about the resolve shown.
Putin today is speaking out against us with a strong degree of confidence.
I wish it were otherwise, but the ME needs attention. It is overdue.
