That oil smuggling comes as no surprise to me. The Russians
have a long history of running blockades. What I wonder is
what the Russians are getting out of this. Why would they
bother running the blockade for Iraq??? >>>

John, Iraq owes Russia (Soviet Union) something like 25 bln dollars in debt....

The question is WHY NOW?
The Russians have been running the so-called blockade for years.
