MOSCOW - A senior Russian diplomat says Moscow may change its stance in the Iranian nuclear talks amid tensions with the West. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted Wednesday as saying by the Interfax news agency that Russia didn't want to use the Iranian nuclear talks to "raise stakes," but may have to do so in response to the actions by the United States and the European Union.
The statement is the most serious threat of retaliation by Moscow after the U.S. and the EU announced sanctions against Russia over the Ukrainian crisis.
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine may have to arm itself with nuclear weapons if the United States and other world powers refuse to enforce a security pact that obligates them to reverse the Moscow-backed takeover of Crimea, a member of the Ukraine parliament told USA TODAY. USAToday

Well, you got to give them credit for their guts. They see weakness.

I was hoping they would leave Nukes out of this.
Game Changer or just more Russian threats?
This is kind of scary.

Considering that Ukraine just played the nuclear card Russia may wish to balance it out.

While no one wants a new arms race it looks like the players aren't stepping back from it either. No good can come of this that I can see.

The human race should not have the right to own nuclear weapons as they are like little children playing with chemicals in the kitchen. Sooner or later there comes a OOPS.
If they do try to fire a nuclear weapon i sure as hell hope some alien race steps in to spank the ones responsible!

I don't want a fight.
The threat to Israel is if the Russians change their stance on Iranian Nukes.
It could allow Iran to provoke Israel.
I am not taking sides....precisely because it's not America's fight.

That's an implied threat.
Not just to us but also Israel.
