WASHINGTON The Russian military anticipates that an attack will occur on Iran by the summer and has developed an action plan to move Russian troops through neighboring Georgia to stage in Armenia, which borders on the Islamic republic, according to informed Russian sources.
Russian Security Council head Viktor Ozerov said that Russian General Military Headquarters has prepared an action plan in the event of an attack on Iran.
Dmitry Rogozin, who recently was the Russian ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, warned against an attack on Iran.
"Iran is our neighbor," Rogozin said. "If Iran is involved in any military action, it's a direct threat to our security." Rogozin now is the deputy Russian prime minister and is regarded as anti-Western. He oversees Russia's defense sector.

Once I used to join in, every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting.
Let us close out eyes; outside their lives go on much faster.
Oh, we won't give in, we'll keep living in the past.

The Russians have wanted one since Peter the Great. They can't wait 'til the Israelis pull the trigger.
