Russia seems to be getting in everybody's face these days. Yesterday came the release of classified documents showing that the US and Britain aquiesced to Russia's invasion of the Baltics a year before Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. The disclosure days before the NATO summit in Riga was pure coincidence, according to Moscow.
Today Russia confirmed the first deliveries of its Tor - M1, anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran. They'll likely be deployed just in time to be launched against any US or Israeli warplanes that may pay a visit to Iranian nuclear sites.
Russia is definitely stirring the pot. These provocations can't be sitting too well with Washington. From Iraq to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia and China there are signs of a growing indifference to American foreign policy. Washington badly needs to restore its credibility. There is simply too much at stake to let this continue.
