Hot On The Heels Of Its China Breakthrough, Russia Set To Build Eight Nuclear Power Plants In Iran
Before anyone suggests that all Russia is focusing on is China at any and all costs, consider that as we have been saying since 2012, perhaps just as important to Russia (and China) strategically is Iran which has already lashed out against the Petrodollar on numerous occasions in the past, not only for its vast oil reserves, but for its even more strategic location in the heart of the Persian Gulf.
To be sure, the Eurasian crescent of Russia and China would be made all that much stronger if the two nations had a toehold on the Straits of Hormuz, and were able to shut traffic - either tanker or military, with the US Fifth Fleet located in Bahrain - into the Gulf at their bidding. Which is why it was not surprising that not even 24 hours after Russia and China announced the "holy grail" energy deal, that RIA reported Russia is already preparing to lock in the Tehran regime with a deal to build not one but 8 (!) more nuclear power plants in the country.
Moscow may sign an intergovernmental agreement with Teheran this year to build eight new reactors for nuclear power plants in Iran, a source close to the negotiations told journalists Thursday.
Two reactors could be built at the Bushehr Power Plant and six reactors at other sites, the source said, adding that the talks were in their final stage.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this week that Russian-Iranian cooperation will continue despite international turbulence around Tehran. Putin said that Russia and Iran are not only neighbors, but also long-standing reliable partners.
Iran’s only nuclear power plant near Bushehr came online September 2011 and began operating at full capacity a year after. Moscow handed over operational control of the Russian-made plant to Iran in September last year.
A deal, it goes without saying, that would have China's explicit and implicit blessing.
And cue the US foreign department collapsing in an apopleptic fit of sheer powerlessness, if many, many "costs" for all those involved.

If the cockroachs are smart they'll hide under Keith.
He could clean up Fuku in his underwear and that's after he kicks Chuck Norris ass.
yup. in a natural or unnatural calamity or catastrophy, the last creature on earth will be Keef. and he'd give the grim reaper a smackdown just for fun. rock on, keef!
Actually, the cockroaches are dying enmasse, too. The only thing that survives these levels of radiation are some bacteria and some weird spider-looking things.
We are in the beginning of a full bio-collapse.
apparently fruit flies are better at this 'radiation thing' than roaches.
If he does not fall out of a tree ofcourse :-)
"Let's isolate them with more sanctions!"
"I do not think that word 'isolate' means what you think it means."
The simple fact that the operators could do thst is poor design.
Word cloud from Biden / Obama lunch following the news:
Wait? what?
Globalists preparing to trigger WWWIII in 3...2....1
I've heard that the reactors will be cooled with Obama's tears.
Because 8 Cheyrnobyls is better than one!
Better than four Fukushima reactors that is for sure.
Dude all your comments have been harping on Chernobyl and Iran, along the lines of USA USA USA USA USA, and its pretty tiring even for a Patriotic American who doesnt get his kicks making fun or underestimating other countries. Take your propaganda BS somewhere else.
As a side note, recall that General Electric was the genius behind Fukushima and the reactor facility design.
General electric's CEO, Jack Welsh, is famous for saying:
"Ideally you'd have every plant you own on a barge" -- ready to move if any national government tried to impose restraints on the factories' operations, or if workers demanded better wages and working conditions.
COSMOS, Putin and Obama are playing a game where we are being used as pawns for shadow oligarchs. Try to keep that in mind.
Oh, how clever! The "West" never saw that one coming! The Kremlin Princess really showed them!
Right? Am I right, here?! This is great, right? 'cause it shows the West who is the boss man, right? If you LOVE Big Mama Russia then this is great stuff, da?

Putin is exploring the limits of the Muhammadan phrase, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
And the results will be coming to one of his cities or subways, mark my words
According to the fascists running the country, he's giving weapons to the "bad Muslims". In other words, the Shites. Of course the "good Muslims", Sunnis, are responsible for all the worlds terrorism over the past 3 decades but they're our freedom fighters so all's ok.
Not sure how to respond.
Shiites and Sunis = BAD. Fundamentalist Religion = WORSE.
You give a side reference to Reagan's stupid arming of the Mujhaadeen. Good point. It should NEVER have happened.
Reagan was one of those ass-licking politicians who serviced the Christian right. There are many to take his place today in the Libertarian and Republican circles.
The Christian right of the 1980s thought Islam was good when compared to Godless Communism.
Christians have no moral compass as they believe in inherited guilt, mass punishment, human sacrifice and worse, vicarious redemption. Do not trust any politician who claims to be a Christian or of any religion for that matter.
'shites'... i think it's shiites man
This is what happens when a guy who wears mom jeans and dances with Ellen goes up against a shirtless bear wrestling ex-KGB agent. I do think however that Obama is the perfect captain for this sinking welfare ship we call America though and it's mobs of nearly transexual, liberalized men who vote for their own demise every time they get a chance.
I was watching the videos of the crazy crime situation in South Africa, murders, and one in three women raped in their lifetime. Crazy stuff, and coming to USA real soon when crap hits the proverbial fan. Got my guns and Ammo stacked up, its not much but enough to make anyone think twice when I double tap their skulls.
One in three women/girls molested in their lifetime is pretty standard around the world. And that was 20 years ago.
I doubt those numbers even included Muslim countries. Nobody took surveys over there then.
It sucks to be female on this planet.
Will the Russians be building the Chernobyl 1 or Chernobyl 2 model?
ONWARD!!!!
By the way, the Chernobyl reactor did not have a containment vessel around the core. It's much cheaper and easier that way.
Howd' those GE containment vessels work out at Fukushima? Not so well.

How did anything work out with no negative side effect?

Go to the bottom of page for pics, Chernobyl did have two thousand ton lid and obviously a steel structure around the reactor.
No matter what crap you got around a nuclear reactor, when the shit goes critical there ain't nothing man can put around that thing that keep the angy nuclear genie in its bottle. The best bet you got is several cooling options and backup systems.
This reporter went into detail. Scroll down. http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/
Fukushima has proven that containment vessels don't work. They didn't contain anything, blew apart right away. All 4. During normal operation, all the tritium gas (radioactive hydrogen) that builds up is vented to atmosphere anyway, with no filtering. Hence the cancer clusters around NPP's.
Now, from an external standpoint, it might protect against a dive-bombing Cessna, but not a full-sized commercial aircraft, or a launched missle or two.
So, at this point, what does it matter, what difference does it make?
The technical foreign policy term for this is oops-a-daisy.
The community organizer is said to have burst into tears when given the news on the 11th hole.
Victoria Nulandtribe is quoted as saying "FUCK RUSSIA! WE'RE CHOSEN AND WE'RE GOING IN!!"
Secretary catsup-packet-of-chemicals asked to have it explained to him again.
And many members of congress are wondering if some of their bags of cash will be late this month.
Yes, and when Obama and Nuland and company are long long gone, Iran will still have access to nuclear weapons material.
How Princess Putin thinks that this will break to Russia's advantage is a mystery.
pupdog1, can you explain to me or anyone how giving Islamic Fundametalists nuclear tech and fissile materials is a "good idea"?
Was Pakistani nuclear capacity a good idea? Is giving a loaded gun to a psychopath standing in the doorway to a elementary school a good idea?
Was Beslan a good idea?

For political corectness this year it could be washington redskins, then rotate it next year to washington black skins, then washingotn yellow skins, and in 2018 be named the washington white skins and keep rotatiing this cycle to keep everyone unhappy. Now what do we do with the Vikings, and the fighting Irish, and Texas Cowboys.
from Russia with love, nuclear love
Think of all the jobs Putin is creating as a business leader President. While in the US the President works on punishment for veterans (generally conservative voters) in regards to VA benefits. Can the US regime be any more incompetent?
Jobs, capital flow, investment. You'd think Putin is a capitalist or something.
When the US speaks, everybody LAUGHS.......
China & iran pledge to boost ties.

Sadly true.
The USA traded expediency for American Values and decency for many years now. And the folks who authored this trade did so with no regard for the wishes or long term consequences of the American people. And the political figures involved are often revered to this day and their advisers received promotions and high paying private sector jobs as a reward.
As a result, the USA has very little moral credibility to stand on. Yet, the crimes of the USA pale in comparison to other great powers such as China and Russia.
Ya I call bullshit.
USA and its crimes are significantly worse than anywhere else in the world, the media and history books omit it.
Most of the crimes are covert. You think those GMO foods aren't genocide? The vaccines that sterilize people? Those depleted uranium rounds that have killed millions, agent orange, cancer 'treatments' that kill millions, environmental destruction. The list goes on and on, US is a royally fucked up place.
Exploited .... -- all that you mentioned, came after this; http://kevinmacdonaldespanol.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/americas-unpardonable-crime/
Oh, I see. Ukraine needs to be taken over by Russia in order for them to pay for the crimes of Monsanto, a multinational corporation.
Yes, that makes sooo much sense. Thanks.
Moral credibility?
Dude, what planet are you from?
There are no merit badges in politics.
"There are no merit badges in politics."--->Meaningless phrase
Politics is the process of compromise in order to achieve a collective action. Now look again at what you wrote, shovelhead. It is a non sequiter.
We know Israel's penchant for bombing or attacking anything nuclear related in the middle east, this should be interesting to see if they still have the chutzpah to attack these 8 facilities as they get close to completion now that the Russians are involved directly with them.

Russia has had direct involvement with prior nuclear sites. Nothing changes. For example, Russia has supplied nuclear fuel to Iran for years, directly. Russia has already built one nuclear plant for Iran, if you didn't know.
Actually I didn't so let's add as a quantifier here now that the balance of power is shifting will they still do it and risk a possible open confrontation as Russia and in turn China and Iran become more emboldened and brazen.
If you live downwind from Iran, you gotta be worried....these guys safety record raises concern.
Really now, just google nuclear accidents in USA, and tell me more about it Mr Fermi
Yeah but the Russian nuclear accidents are rarely reported. If you just google it, you get a completely wrong picture.
Russians are great at polluting and killing people. I am not against Putin though, he seems to be smart. So don't get me wrong here.
One nation is an energy leader, the other nation is a ????
Counterfeiter.
Lets look at the teams: Russia/Iran/China vs US/Israel/Canada/Europe
Furthermore, most of team Israel and its satellite states are full of immigrants and disillusioned populus, many of whom are simply too obese to fight a war, and many have no loyalty to the country. I wouldn't fight a war for Canada, our government is full of crooks. What are we fighting for?
GMO food?
Pharmaceuticals?
Vaccines?
Debt slavery?
The right to circumcise defenseless babies?
Because these are the holy grails of America right now, pumped and pushed by the MSM as 'good'. The CIA/Banksters can eat a dick, I hope Putin rounds them up and sends them to jail for their crimes against humanity. If these assholes had won, we'd have a genocidal world government right now, killing everyone they can to 'save the planet'.
Ya, we see who our leaders are, and what they have planned. I welcome Putin, at least he values life.
Thats not true. America always keeps its word in the name of freedom. Look at the Native Americans, look at the blacks after slavery, (and the reason they fought the civil war), look at their tender loving support of foreign regimes, look at all the massive civilian populations they carpet bombed during WWII. And now America is in the gentle controlling grip of Zionist Israel, that should really turbocharge all that goodness.
The only reason we are not all world government slaves right now is Putin. He might not be an angel, he might even be bad, I don't know, but at least if he is negative and against the negative NWO, two negatives multiplied are a positive. I am rooting for Putin and his emerging axis to slow these fuckers down.
Great! More burning cores. And on top of that here's the announcement of more global cooling (higher oil prices) : http://news.yahoo.com/whole-lotta-shakin-goin-busy-stretch-large-earthquakes-165008401.html
what about South Africa?

what about 2 reactors in Hungary?

then Slovakia and Czech republic are in the pipeline as well.....
You could have elected the guy who at least had enough respect for Putin to recognize a frienemy but nooooooo... you had to go and fuck it up by electing the guy who would rather see it all on TV.
Anyone that would build a nuke plant today is nuts. Anyone that would contract with Russia to build 8 nuke plants for them is certifiably crazy.
Have these guys ever heard of Fukishima or Chernobyl?
sschu
"There was nothing wrong with the design of Chernobyl. Human error, and poor judgement."
Fuck that. Their reactor was a pile of shit. It had a positive void coefficient, so the reaction goes FASTER unless it is controlled. To make it worse, it used a graphite moderator instead of water. The runaway reaction made the graphite catch on fire and release huge amounts of radioactive smoke into the air. You couldn't design a shittier reactor if you tried.
The really scary part is that lots of these Chernobyl design reactors are still in service.
"The really scary part is that lots of these Chernobyl design reactors are still in service."
The die has been cast.
I wonder if this will be a Build lease deal. The Russians build the plants and lease them to Iran. So if anyone attacks the plants is attacking Russian.
No we know what the Irainan Gold will be used for.
Why is Hillary even considering a run? Get Punch on it!
With all the nuclear plants in Iran, Israel won't need any nuclear weapons at all, just bomb those plants and blow Iran away.
Wonder how long it would take the radiation to blow by Israel and fry it and do the world a favor.
This is exactly the point. The US can bomb and destroy all infrastructure including powerplants just as they did in Iraq and Lybia. But not nuclear plants, because the nuclear fall-out is going with the wind and nobody can stop it. They bomb Iran but the wind blows it to Turkey or to the US/UK colonies around the gulf or Saudi, Egypt, Israel. These nuclear power plants are going to protect Iran somehow.
The best defense of the Straights of Hormuz is to build the Keystone Pipeline.
I can remember reading somewhere that when the Shah was brought to power the US promise to help build 23 Nuclear plants
yep... usa was helping the shah to build nucs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shah_of_Iran_building_two_nuclear_plan...
btw, some people say that those 'mullahs' of today are mostly british agents. 'scratch an iranian cleric and see the mi5/6 agent underneath'
Wow if this doesn't kickstart the cold war I don't know what will.
Looks like a job for Stuxnet
why is anyone surprised?
this was part of the non-disclosed items of the deal when the us-russia last discussed how to bring iran into the great game again as a counter-balancing force in the SWA theater of operations.
Barry your out of your element!
Payback to Saudi Arabian for that little "misunderstanding" they had with Russia re their Olympics.

We all know the New World Order Empire that overthrew the United States of America is crashing.
In the rubble, the American People will have a second chance to restore the Free Enterprise system of capitalism (free from corporate monopoly), fair trade and restore the Bill of Rights of the democratic (government of, for and by the People)United States of America.
