China and Russia make a fool of Obama by pretending to support sanctions on Iran
China and Russia made the fraudulent climate summit at Copenhagen in December 2009 burst. President Hu Jintao even refused to meet “Obongo” (his Kenyan name) in person at the summit, let alone shaking hands with him. China is a proud and racially conscious nation. It seems that the Beijing leaders have a problem to accept a Kenyan as the leader of the so-called world-power. So, China shows her contempt for USrael over and over again. China now humiliates Obama once more by allegedly agreeing on sanctions against Iran but at the same time makes sure they would not hurt Tehran. At the end of the day China would not respect any sanctions against Iran, she would break them anyway.
Russia does the same. The Kremlin agreed to these so-called harsh sanctions but supplies Iran at the same time with sate of the art military missiles.

'Iran sanctions, Obama's charade'
Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:36:36 GMT

Two leading American political analysts downplay US claims about "most significant sanctions" against Iran, saying they jeopardize Washington's position globally.

In an article titled "Obama's charade on Iran sanctions," Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett said the text of the new UN sanctions resolution showed it was neither "a great diplomatic achievement" nor "a serious intensification of international pressure on Iran over the nuclear issue.”

The article was published on the authors' official, website , on June 9 and hours before the UN Security Council voted in favor of a fourth round of sanctions against Iran.

The Leveretts said while the sanctions might bring victory for the US in "a narrow, tactical battle" for the US President Barack Obama's administration, it will be at the cost of "America's long term strategic position, in the Middle East and globally.”

The authors said the resolution will not ban "the capacity of the Islamic Republic to produce and export hydrocarbons." Neither is there any "sanctions barring the extension of financial services, insurance, reinsurance, etc. to Iranian individuals and entities," they added.

The authors dismiss US claims that the new sanctions are broader and tougher than previous ones as "political theater" and say, "...the Obama Administration is no longer interested in finding a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue-if it ever was.”

The Leveretts conclude that the Obama administration's next step will be the "formal adoption of regime change as the explicit goal of its Iran policy-and/or military strikes against the Islamic Republic.”

Russia's Foreign Ministry says Moscow is not obliged to freeze a deal to deliver the S-300 missile defense system to Iran under the newly imposed UN sanctions. Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said Thursday that the deal is not referenced in the fourth round of UN sanctions imposed against Tehran which mainly target financial and military sectors.
