As expected the Russian and Chinese governments have stressed that ONLY talks can resolve the nuclear crisis with Iran.

The Moscow-Beijing Axis of Obstruction have made it clear that they will oppose any efforts to impose sanctions on Tehran for its nuclear ambitions (not that sanctions would resolve anything in any case).

The Russians and Chinese have been consistent in opposing resolute action against the Mullahs of Tehran, this in spite of the fact that they have both acknowledged Iran’s nuclear activity as suspect and recognized the fact that Iran has be using these negotiations as a delaying tactic to advance its nuclear program.

Nonetheless, the Russians and the Chinese have ulterior motives. The Chinese want nothing to interfere with the flow of oil to their booming economy and are even willing to risk a nuclear conflict, or so it would appear. The Russians have become lucrative trading partners with the Iranian regime, particularly in weapons technology and want nothing to interfere with their Islamic gravy train, as such the Moscow-Beijing Axis have and will continue to oppose any action which jeopardizes their economic interests, they will rue the day they gave in to their shortsightedness, for the West may be Iran’s principle target, but there can be no doubt that the global expansion of Islam is their ultimate goal, assuming President Ahmadinejad and Iran’s Supreme leader are to be taken at their word.
