Obama said the sale was initially set to occur in 2009, but Russia put it on hold at the United States’ request. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday the sale was resumed because of progress in nuclear talks with Iran.
“Hey, let’s spin every colossal failure as a compete success! Maybe no one will catch on.”
I’m surprised that Obama held off so long on the Iran nuclear (BAD) deal…
Great answer from the supreme leader of The U.S.A.
Sounds like an answer …Like a new Cadillac Escalade parked on the Street in Brownsville for two weeks Brooklyn gets stolen. “Surprised they waited so long”
Hey Bam, be careful about veiled belligerence against Putin; that was one of the issues you used to beat Romney!
Selling weapons to Iran, a terrorist state, is an evil deed. Obama should not be surprised it didn’t happen before, but upset that it is happening now. However, since Obama himself is evil, this is not surprising to me.
Barack WANTED Russia to sell their missile defense systems to Iran so that he could then make it sound like attacking Iran is a losing proposition and the only way to deal with them is appeasement and to h— with Israel.
