Russia and China fall in line, just before the "flexibility" comment

Russia and China did not comment, and the agreement seemed at odds with weeks of public opposition, primarily by the Kremlin, to new sanctions against Iran.

Why have the Russians and Chinese suddenly complied?  Or is it, that in two weeks time, Ayatollah ElBaradei will say that there has been some "flexibility", as was just expressed in the Chinese press below:

Wen said peaceful negotiation would be the best way to resolve the nuclear issue and he hoped that Iran could further demonstrate its flexibility, according to a press release from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

And then the Seyyeds would just carry on as normal.

US hits at Beijing over Iran stance

“We are disappointed by the lack of co-operation by China on a third Security Council resolution,” said Nicholas Burns, US under-secretary of state, representing Washington at the meeting. “We don’t think that China is moving with us.”

And folks with that statement, the real culprit in this whole saga, is cornered.  If China washes its hand from the Seyyeds, then the Seyyeds are well and truly on their way out.  Somehow the Chinese need to be pursuaded.

Saudis enriching Seyyeds

Saudi Arabia today revealed details of an ambitious offer to Tehran, aimed at defusing the growing crisis over Iran's controversial nuclear program, reported the Times of London.

It seems that, like others before, the Saudis are trying to avert public criticism, by pretending to help Seyyeds. Now don't forget, that he is offering it to the same insane people, who wanted to make a joint Islamic force for the area. So this is what the visit to London was about. So much fot the Brits.

Lavrov's Black Mail

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is to go to Iran on Tuesday for a previously unannounced visit.

Mr Lavrov is due to hold talks with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at 1930 local time (1600 GMT).

No country has so much power over the Seyyeds, so much so that, at a drop of a hat the Russians, can pop over for a chat. And what has Mr Lavrov done for "World Peace"? Absolutely nothing. Actually he has done a lot. He has used the Seyyeds, to negotiate some great concessions from the West. He did the same from the Europeans when he switched the gas off. And that leads me to the opposition forces of Iran. Thirty years ago Shahanshah Aryamehr talked about the mighty pipeline to Europe, just in case of the Soviets threat did show its ugly head.

Financial situation of the Seyyeds in Iran

West Asia vs East Asia

Many Arabs argue that the Iranians actually want America to attack. Politically, that would help the hard-liners rally support. And militarily, it would lure the United States onto a battlefield where its immense firepower wouldn't do much good.

Actually the argument is that, the US would like to get stuck in another protracted war, so that West Asia is totally destroyed.  It knows, like Vietnam and Cambodia, the out flow of cheap good labour, which it needs.  It will still carry getting the oil, just like it still does in Iraq.  The US oil companies and their Seyyed poodles, have no love for Iran or true Iranians.  The last thing they want is, for Iranians to have multinational oil companies, and multinational corporations, like those in East Asia.  The Chinese or the East Asians do not want that competition.  That is why China supports the Seyyeds.  Iranians and other Caspian people are young and extremely intelligent, with a culture that predates all of Asia.  We ruled Asia for centuries, and the last thing the rest of Asia, and their US backers want, is another Persian Empire, with it own splendour of multinational corporations, becoming The Bridge of Turquoise between Europe and Africa and the East, again.

FT's Philip Stephens miscalculation

Last month, at a conference hosted by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation’s Washington office, one of those present recalled being taught by Henry Kissinger at Harvard. China had just tested the bomb and a fellow student suggested that the answer was a pre-emptive strike against its nuclear installations. And just how frequently should the US repeat the exercise? Mr Kissinger asked in response. Mr Bush might ask himself the same question.

FT.com / Columnists / Philip Stephens - Bush heads for a dreadful miscalculation over Iran

Philip Stephens thinks he is really smart with this article, drawing correlation of pre nuclear China to Iran.  What he does not realise, is that present day China would not be where it is, if the US decided to isolate the Chinese banking system, as it has with the Iranian banks.

Sanctions after 20 million, why?

"The US sanctions can affect third parties, such as Russia or one of its companies, if their investment in Iran is more than 20 million dollars.

What sort of sanctions is that? My argument for sanctions on the Seyyeds, is that they are sanctioning the ordinary real secular modern Iranians, who do not like the Seyyed dogma. So the Seyyeds who control the government sector, should be fully sanctioned, and not limited to any sum over US $20 million. The US is not doing enough. It's a cop out.

Media isolating Seyyeds' Forces

There have been at least half a dozen intense firefights between the SAS and arms smugglers, a mixture of Iranians and Shi'ite militiamen.

It is becoming quite clear, that the world press wants to make sure, that there are distinctively different elements in Iran. It is good to see that Seyyeds' armed poodles are not being confused with Iran's traditional armed forces.

One nuke man idiot replaces another in Iran

“The resignation of Mr Larijani has been accepted and Saeed Jalili will be replacing him,” government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by several Iranian news agencies.

Jalali was born in 1965 in Iran’s holy second city of Mashhad. He started his diplomatic career in 1989 and has worked in the office of the country’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

One idiot replaces another.  Obviously Putin must have known what mess there was, and so he decided to hear it right from the horse's mouth, when he went straight to the top man Seyyed Khamenei.
