Some countries favor more than ever using a military strike to stem Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
Talks this month in Baghdad must show progress on reaching an agreement over the Persian nation’s nuclear program to placate the international community, he said today on a flight as he returned from the Group of Eight meeting in the U.S.
“Russia is concerned that an attempt to resolve this problem with military methods is still a possibility,” Ryabkov told reporters. “We periodically get signals publicly and via private channels that certain capitals favor this option much more than they did up to this point.”
How constructive. When interpreting any Russian statement on these issues, never forget that Russia benefits directly from turmoil in the Persian Gulf. Anything it can do to raise concerns about the risk of conflict there also raises the price of oil-which redounds directly to Russia’s benefit.
Hi Craig,
A few weeks ago, Learn Bonds put together a list of 101 Free Resources For Bond Investors. We got such a good response that we have decided to construct another list of investor resources. This time, we want to create a list for following the Federal Reserve. So far, we are not satisfied with the list and would like to improve it before we publish it on Learn Bonds. We would like your help.
Here are two ways you can help:
1) What resources do you use to following the FED?
2) Should your site be included? We have noticed that many sites that we like frequently have articles on the FED, however, they don’t have a section where we can easily point an interested reader. If you have such a section, please submit it for inclusion.
If your interested, I will send you our list so far.
Best regards, Marc Prosser

What’s even more important to remember is that America benefits directly from peace and stability in the Middle East and low oil prices.
In other words, America’s and Russia’s interests are diametrically opposed, contrary to the absurd lies churned out by the Obama administration.
Russia acts in its interests, which are the opposite of America’s. Russia’s interest is to harm the USA. It is our enemy. Oh and, just by the way, Russia is ruled by a proud KGB spy who spent his entire life learning how to hate and destroy the USA. Coincidence?
