Respect Iran sanctions, US warns China, Russia and other countries
Respect Iran sanctions, US warns

By Tony Barber in Brussels

The US on Friday warned China, Russia and other countries opposed to tougher economic sanctions against Iran not to seize business opportunities left open by the departure of those respecting the sanctions regime.

Robert Kimmitt, US deputy treasury secretary, said he understood the concerns of private-sector companies that commercial rivals might snap up their business in Iran.

European Union foreign ministers meet on Monday to discuss proposals to impose unilateral EU sanctions on Iran without waiting for the United Nations Security Council to adopt new measures of its own.

But diplomats say EU member states are divided on the issue, in spite of their common concern about Iranian activities that Tehran denies are aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons.

1. Russia and China have a message for you, Bush: FUCK YOU.
They're going to go in and cut oil deals with the Iranian regime regardless of what the US wants, and all the US government is relegated to is simply whining and bitching because it can't do anything to either of those two countries without hurting itself.

5. China and Russia's response: "Or what?"
China could fuck our country over totally without firing a single bullet. If it came to it, their military is vast and well-funded. Not as technologically advanced as ours, but the huge number of troops counts for a lot.
