Watch for it now. Russia announces eagerness to step up its anti-terrorism cooperation with the United States:
Russia on Monday said it was “ready” to step up its cooperation with the United States in its fight against terror networks after hailing the death of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden as a great success.
“Only a joint and united fight against global terrorism can achieve substantial results. Russia is ready to step up this type of cooperation,” President Dmitry Medvedev’s press service said in a statement.
What, Dmitry, you mean you weren't cooperating as much as you could before?

Meaning not that Russia will pull the plug on Iran's nuclear program, but that Russia will gladly let US Special Ops teams into the Caucasus to help with Russia's internal terror problem.

How about we tell them we'd be delighted to cooperate, they can start by dealing with Pakistan.

Claire, it's China who wields influence in Pakistan, isn't it? Russia can deal with Iran. And Syria. And Hezbollah. And Hamas.
Re: Strong Horse Effect
Just as long as they start pulling their weight.
