It does not surprise me one bit. Both Russia and Iran's are in the dumps do to the fact they set their goverment budgets at oil being between 100.00 and 120.00 a barrel, a staple for their economies.

How true . The RUSSIANS need IRAN to pay for their nuclear program and arms that they supply to them . It's a chess match between the super powers and the little people in this world are its pawns ( or should I say commodities $ ) .

Not so really. The revenue generated by Iran for Russian nuclear technology and arms is less then 1% of Russia's GNP. The reason Russia is in bed with Iran is to offset the US's influence in that region (Isreal).
