Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, visiting Beijing this week, is expected to press China’s leaders to reduce the country’s oil imports from Iran. But Geithner is likely to find Beijing resistant to putting financial pressure on the government in Tehran.
In a briefing for reporters Monday, Cui Tiankai, the vice foreign minister responsible for U.S. relations, said that China supports global nonproliferation efforts but that trade is separate from the Iranian nuclear issue.
China will buy as much oil as Iran wishes to sell. So will Russia. So all these sanctions will accomplish is to cause shortages, hardship, and suffering for Americans and Europeans, while driving Iran further into alliance with China and Russia. And all of this because of DC's willing enslavement to Israel.
No government can serve two masters.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
