They are? I don't see anyone stopping Iran except Israel

It's not a very good bargain. Russia gets to reclaim its entire Cold War sphere of influence, and in return we get help stopping a state on the verge of collapse from doing something it doesn't have the power to do anyway. Turning our backs on the Eastern European democracies is a good way of convincing future potential partners that we can't be relied upon.

Ha! Their not, even if they say they will, they just can't wait to get into Iraq. Didn't Russia just sell 5 S-300systems to Iran and deny it, since when can we believe a word they say.
4 :
Russia has nothing but Islamic countries on its southern borders. She is, as always, acting in her own self-interest. That Russia can get the proposed missile shield dropped is only icing on her cake.
5 :
They aren't. They make a promise in return for actual results from the other side. The promise WAS their end of the bargain. They needn't actually do it and they won't. That's how Democrats negotiate. (if they were here, they'd be Democrats - that isn't even a debatable point)

they aren't going to stop iran from doing anything!!! they will sell technology to iran and make billions, and when their nuclear weapon program gets wiped out oil will hit the roof and russia will again make billions!!!

well if they are (I am not sure,) it would be because Obama likes his terrorist friends, thats option A, or option B is he ain't got the stones to do so.. or there is option C, being both A & B
