I would say this is good proof that they will not veto the US/UK/Spain Resolution in the UNSC. This seems to indicate that they believe war will happen. If this is true why would they throw away the new ties forged with America since Sept 11th (in order to get closer to a stalled Franco/German economy?) and why would they risk the chance that their veto leading to a freeze out on debt and future and existing with a new Iraq? I think their threat was just a reminder that they need to be involved here. Putin is too much of a Real Politik devotee to throw everything away on a veto that would do more harm to Russia in the long run.
