[quote:Anonymous Coward 446728:MV81NzY2NzlfODc4OTQ0Nl80QUE2RDY1MQ==] I doubt whether Russia would call Iran a "rogue nation", as the United States has done.

Well here we go again folks… This is actually a smart play by the Russians to pressure us to not put up missile defense plans in Eastern Europe.
The newspaper Iszvestia on Monday cited an unnamed senior Russian air force official in Moscow as saying that Russia may start regular flights by long-range bombers to Cuba in response to US plans to install a missile defense system in eastern Europe.
Conducting long-range bomber patrol to Cuba would signal a reawakening of military cooperation by former Cold War allies Moscow and Havana, and recall the 1962 missile crisis that brought Washington and Moscow to the brink of war.
