Putin is so naïve about the Seyyeds

"No one can seriously think that Iran would dare attack the United States," a source in the Russian delegation at the NATO-Russia summit in Bucharest quoted Putin as telling leaders.

How naïve can Putin be, when there is a proxy war going on between US and the Seyyeds' men in Iraq. Why doesn't he realise that, if the Seyyeds do finally make the warheads, they will point it to any nation, including Russia. Imagine the Chenchnya getting help from the Seyyeds.
