Russia, U.S. friend or Foe

With the new revelations about Russian assistance to Iraq in ridding itself of their WMD and their help with troop movements and plans during the U.S. lead invasion in 2003, one only has to wonder how much they are helping Iran with it's weapons capabilities.

It's no secret that for the past several years Russia has been upgrading Iran's conventional weapons capabilities along with selling them long range missile technology.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be on this personal power trip, hell bent in getting Russia back to it's superpower status. With the recent strong arming of Belarus and Ukraine it is obvious that he is trying to get Moscow back to world dominance.

Should the world be worried about the re-emerging Russian superpower?
