From the "Well, Duh" Files

Russia won't support revising the language of the Iran nuclear deal. Because Russia views America as an enemy, why would Russia want to prevent a mullah-run Iran that shouts "Death to America!" from getting nuclear weapons?

You don't say?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday Moscow will not support attempts by Washington to modify the Iran nuclear deal, arguing such a move could also complicate diplomacy over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

What would motivate the Russians to be so solidly behind the deal? Could it be that they consider us such great friends that they naturally have our best interests at heart?

Or is it because America has never stopped being Russia's main enemy during Putin's reign?

Left unsaid by Lavrov but obvious is that Russian diplomacy hopes to get North Korea nukes, too.

Call it nuking from behind.
