sgtclub - MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Friday rejected any talk for now of sanctions against Iran and France warned against conflict with Tehran, raising doubt whether it will face swift penalties for not halting nuclear work by an August 31 deadline.
This is really frustrating and will no doubt be blamed on Bush's lack of diplomacy, which is really a joke. What are we to do? How can we deal with Iran via non-military means if the world does not take any type of legitimate stand against them?

Russia and China sell Iran a lot of stuff, ergo, they will not allow sanctions as it hurts their own wallet.
And it's not as if the Mullahs have been threatening to blow up Moscow or to wipe Peking "off the map".
