Can anyone understand what this guy means, by stating that the US needs to be given such a guarantee? It is implying that the US is under great threat and will suffer. Perhaps he thinks that the great Shiite Mahdi will hit the US. Is he nuts? But the fact that the Russians take them seriously is very funny.
