"I know of no instances in world practice and previous experience in which sanctions have achieved their aim and proved effective," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told reporters during a trip to Russia's far east. "Moreover, I believe that the question is not so serious at the moment for the U.N. Security Council or the group of six to consider any introduction of sanctions. Russia stands for further political and diplomatic efforts to settle the issue."On the one hand, the Russian is correct. The U.N. is useless and has been for many decades now.
On the other he is just posturing to make sure their weapons deals with Iran stay in place.
I have no earthly idea why we in the US, especially our President, would even attempt to solve this impasse through the UN.
It is time to take out all Arab states that support terrorism and the insidious goals of the Islamists.But I am not holding my breath.
Neither should any in this country. Unfortunately!

I have said it before and will say it again. China and Russia have adopted a Cold War stance. So be it. If China and Russia want to stand by while Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, then they are without doubt enabling Iran.
We in turn should adopt a Cold War stance and enable Russia and China's enemies. Arms to Taiwan galore. Exapansion of Nato up to Moscow's front door with FULL deployment of mobile nuclear missle platforms. Enough of being nice.

This may be much closer than anyone realizes. Of course, I personally do not know this to be the case.
