If our President thinks that PootyPoot and Comrade Hu are going to help him with Iran, he’s sadly mistaken.
Those two reprobate Commies are interested only in selling the Iranians as much weapons technology (including nuclear) as they can get away with, with a ‘hi ho, allah-fuuubar, AWAY!’
Moscow and Beijing have nothing to gain by assisting the U.S. with Iran, because Ahmadinejad is continuing to defy the U.S., the U.N., and the Triple-A, all the while spewing threats at Israel, and that keeps America occupied, which IS in their interest.
You want to isolate Iran Mr. President?
a.) Inform every nation the United States has relations with, that if they continue to have diplomatic relations with Iran, that the United States will break off ALL relations with THEM, and make that a universal pledge, doesn’t matter who it is, make the world choose: have relations with the Iranian rogue state, or have no relations of ANY kind with US (as in ‘U.S.’). Only idiot nations would choose to stand by the side of the mullah-morons in Tehran, and if they do? So be it, that will prove they were not truly reliable friends or allies of the U.S. anyway.
b.) Announce that the little runt Ahmadinejad is being placed on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” List and that it will be U.S. policy to apprehend him and put him on trial for his role in the 1979 illegal invasion of our embassy in Tehran, and that ANY nation or individual assisting Ahmadinejad in eluding U.S. jurisdiction will be considered an accomplice and they too, will be added to that Most Wanted list.
c.) Sink the Iranian Navy. Do it now. They can’t stop us, and eliminating Iranian naval resources will eliminate potential threats to our own carrier task forces in the Gulf.
That’s three initiatives to get this ‘isolation’ project started. If the President was really serious about ‘isolating Iran’, he wouldn’t be going hat in hand to Putin and Comrade Hu, who are probably laughing their asses off right now.
Had dinner last night with the Russian painter Galina Perova.
Her insight about Putin was instructive in that every time his name came up she would giggle, raise her glass and make a toast to the KGB. Then she would say...you Americans so stoooopid...you believe that little bastard.
