As logical as any other historical clash of ideologies in the history of mankind, no? What was illogical about the Cold War?
You don't think that Iran of the 50's was on Russia's list of countries to absorb into its sphere of influence? The Russians have meddled in just about every country 3,000 miles north-south-east-west of it. Today, Iran is to Russia, what Canada is to America (economically speaking).
