Of Tor-M1’s and Polonium-210
With friends like this, NO one should feel safe or secure.
Russia has begun deliveries of the Tor-M1 air defence rocket system to Iran, Russian news agencies quoted military industry sources as saying, in the latest sign of a Russian-US rift over Iran.
“Deliveries of the Tor-M1 have begun. The first systems have already been delivered to Tehran,” ITAR-TASS quoted an unnamed, high-ranking source as saying Friday.
Why is Russia a voting member of the United Nations? A member who has veto power??
And now we’re getting reports like this:
LONDON, England (CNN) — Traces of radioactive material that apparently killed a former Russian spy investigating the death of a Russian journalist were found at places where he ate and met other spies just before falling ill, British authorities said Friday.
In a statement released after his death on Thursday, Alexander Litvinenko blamed a “barbaric and ruthless” Russian President Vladimir Putin for the attack. Putin called the death a tragedy, but accused opponents of “political provocation.”
Experts from the British Health Protection Agency, called in after radiation was suspected in the death on Thursday of the 43-year-old, confirmed that a large dose of polonium-210 was found in Litvinenko’s body.
What’s going on in Russia? When is Vladimir returning to the USA again?? Do we want him here???
