I've always thought Russia and the US could be real allies in the post-Cold War world.

So they've become just as paranoid too. Brilliant.

Neither Iran nor North Korea are stupid enough to fire a nuclear weapon or give it to a group that would.

You are almost certainly right.  That doesn't mean the people they are often trying to kill (and occasionally succeeding) can't be more than a little concerned with the idea of them getting weapons of this magnitude.

"Almost" is the key word here.

20 Russian soldiers are coming for an extended spring join-training with US troops in northern Colorado starting in May. First joint training on US ground...idk how I feel about this...considering they will be trained to use US equipment and technology.

This is a good thing.  Russia and the US should be friends.  We have the same enemies.

Of course; I've always thought Russian help would be an invaluable aid to an Iranian invasion.

But not under current Russian administration, that calls all anti-Putin protesters "State Dept. and MI5 Agents".

Indeed, that is a problem.  But we're "friends" with S.Arabia (and others) and they are worse by any reasonable measure.  Russia is a liberal (in the traditional sense) paradise in comparison.

Russian media and so-called "Patriots" tend to support every dictator. They supported Qaddafi, now they're supporting Assad...
