Well, what can i say

I suppose the question has to be, is this just a "hot air" threat or are the Russians seriously considering the action. I have read in previous reports that Russia does not say anything they are not wiling to carry out.

This provocation by the United States is totally uncalled for IMO and a potential world disaster. We all know those that are in "real" power in the US committed or were complicit in the 9/11 attacks, if they are willing to carry out such an attack then I am sure they are likely to just shrug off the Russian threat.

“Considering the destabilizing nature of the [American] ABM system, namely the creation of an illusion of inflicting a disarming [nuclear] strike with impunity, a decision on pre-emptive deployment of assault weapons could be taken when the situation gets harder,”

Personally, I dont think the Russians are bluffing, there is too much at stake for them.

at least we are thinking the same thing! And I quite agree with your analysis, Russia has too much to loose right now. And there is no way this is friendly to Russia simply because Iran does not pose the threat Europe is attempting to convince people.
