Robert Gates: “The Russians, the number of their strategic nuclear delivery vehicles is in fact below the treaty limits, but the number…”

He wants Ukraine, basically, to be a client state of Russia.

Such an attack would make a nuclear-armed Iran inevitable.

I think it doesn't make strategic sense.
