Senior Russian general warns Washington to think twice before attacking Iran

Senior Russian general warns Washington to think twice before attacking Iran

April 3, 2007, 2:22 PM (GMT+02:00)

The RIA-Novosty news service quotes Yury Baluyevsky, head of the armed forces general staff as sayin Tuesday, April 3: Such an attack would have global implications. “Inflicting damage on Iran’s military and industrial potential might be realistic, but winning [the war] is unachievable – its reverberations would be heard across the world.”

Baluyevsky said that the US should bear in mind negative experience in other countries of the region. “Our strategic partners,” he said, have already got bogged down in Afghanistan and Iraq.” He warned that if the US goes to war with Iran as well, the world may see America decline as “the world’s mightiest and most powerful state.”

Well, the post-soviet comrades with the WORST demography among north-nations have something to worry about:

1. If the west/NATO succeed in Afghanistan, with smaller costs in both dead Afghans and dead western-soldiers, it will make the russian shame unbearable.

2, And their clients/debtors in Iran will lose, just like they lost in Iraq. Big. Big Bucks.
