Russia and it's misguided support

We all know that our ANC government goes around calling each other 'Comrade', as if they were still stuck in the old USSR. This is obviously a reference to their communist roots and their latent support of a said political style that has not worked anywhere.
With this in mind, we go across to old Mother Russia.

It is a very badly kept secret (if it is even one at all, really) that Iran is pursuing the Nuke route- they say for power, the rest of the world believes for weapons- a rose by any other name. In other words, it is pretty much accepted that they want some nuclear tips on their already designed missiles. Taking into consideration the extreme rule of Iran, the fact that they do not want Israel on the planet and are always threatening woe, rains of fire and destruction on the West, the concern is well placed.

Iran has two real allies- Russia and China, and both sit on the UN Security Council. Why is this a problem- well because these two countries make it a habit of opposing action from the Western powers. Recently they vetoed a proposal to crack down on Syria's government as it is massacring thousands of it's own people. So, in essence they support the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of citizens. This is despite the Arab countries fully supporting such a move. Speaks volumes of their support for civil rights. We must also bear in mind, March the 8th, marks presidential elections in Russia and old Vlad has faced major protests and upheaval in his country. Maybe he is trying to appear a strong leader to appease the voters or maybe he is thinking about firing the Cold War up all over again. Maybe he is simply desperate for re-election.

Supporitn Syria was one thing. but with Iran, Russia has a harsher line. Vladimir Putin promises catastrophic consequences if a military strike goes ahead without UN approval. Catch here is, Russia will veto any such proposal. Prime Minister Vlad is obviously sitting with the woolly cap over his eyes and thinks Iran are pursuing ONLY the nuclear-power route. He does not want to realize the danger of such an extreme government having a weapon of mass destruction. Not only would I venture an extremist government may use not hesitate to use it, but there is also an opportunity of sharing their toys with terrorists opposed to the West. It is bad enough the two rivals Pakistan and India have the 'bomb', we do not need other volatile nations possessing the key to such destruction. This may seem to be double standards, as I appear to condoning the possession of the bomb by Western Powers- but I am not. I think the worst thing ever made, was the nuclear weapon and I wish they could somehow be out-lawed and destroyed. But, we have to be realistic and realize this is not going to happen. In the second option, we can try to limit who has it. Then we ask- who decides. Well, I guess the people who feel threatened by somebody possessing the Nuke warhead could be a start. Perhaps there is no easy answer nor a right or wrong one when it comes to saying who should and who should not have the Mushroom making Bomb. I personally would not like nations rules by extreme leaders to have anything resembling a nuclear weapon. Like North Korea.

We need to face reality and realize, more nations will seek nuclear weapons, and the more that do, the less chance we have of ever eradicating this most brutal and indiscriminate weapon even made. It is already too late. How long will the Super powers go on reducing stockpiles of warheads, when a nuclear threat appears to be growing? Is it justified for a threatened nation to launch a military strike to take out Nuclear weapons before they are launched against it?
There are more questions that answers and the answers will obviously relate to where on the planet you live. God will be the only 'person' that could help us in the end.
