But Russia and China don't care that Iran said no. They will resists any sanctions:
Initial comments from Russia and China made clear the United States is likely to face difficulty getting at least those nations to agree to any tough sanctions against Iran.
But don't worry. France is firm:
In Paris, however, French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy made clear that his government was sticking by the U.N. demand for Iran to halt enrichment by the end of this month as a precondition to further talks.
Excuse me? Is "nuance" based on having no short term memory? Have we forgotten already France's resolve to lead a military force to disarm Hizbollah followed by an immediate and unilateral retreat? How "sophisticated" does your view of diplomacy have to be to trust that repulsive governing class in Paris again?
I truly feel sorry for the French military. Despite the jokes, they are actually a good force and one of only three capable of a global reach with all elements of national power. To be represented by crooks and liars who only value allies when needed to recapture Paris from the Germans must be humiliating.
So let's tell the French government to bugger off. Having run away from several thousand Hizbollah terrorists, I hardly expect France to prove the presence of a spine by standing up to Iran. Surely we won't trust those cheese-eating surrender monkeys again.
Boy, it sure feels strangely comforting to use that term again. It has been a while. Too long, it seems.
Prepare to confront and fight Iran. And forget about France when making our plans. We can buy an accordian, instead, if we insist on being burdened with useless assets.
