Neither Russia or China are willing to support 100% sanctions against Iran, and both countries have trade relationships with Iran.
However, neither country will attack Israel if Israel knocks out Iran’s nuclear development installations. They are not going to go to war over Iran’s nuclear developments. They know that as soos as Iran’s nukes are knocked out, they will bluster for public consumption and then proceed to renew and expand their business deals with Iran.

Reminds me of one of the cautions from Herman Kahn in his book ON THERMONUCLEAR WAR. Both sides believing that the other will back down in a crunch. Inevitable result: a war neither wanted.
Anyone familiar with the Massad knows Israel means it when they say NEVER AGAIN! Any attack on Israel means the whole mideast is gone, too. God bless Israel!
If we were to drill here, and drill now, to develop our own domestic petroleum reserves in Alaska, off our coasts, and in the shale deposits in the lower 48, we wouldn’t need to rely upon the Middle East for oil. Then the Iranians could do whatever they wanted to in the Straits of Hormuz, and we wouldn’t give a flying fig.
Fortunately, our untapped petroleum reserves aren’t going anywhere. They will wait as long as necessary for us to clear the left-wing idiots out of the way. Hopefully, they won’t have to wait TOO long!!
Does anyone know - assuming we started today, how long would it take for us to ramp up production on all of our untapped domestic reserves to a level that would replace what we are getting out of the Middle East (assuming we went all out and “full speed ahead”)???
William M. Esposo can GTH.
He’s an idiot.
Back in '79 the JBS and its publications were pro-Shah and anti-Khomeini. You'd never know that now.
The Philippines have been under siege by the muslims for a long time. No peace treaty ever holds with muslims, they just lie and cheat to stall for time to build up strength. That is why Israel didn’t do so well in 2006 with the Lebanese insanity. They fought like we’re fighting in Afghanistan. God forbid “disproportionate force.” Tie both hands behind your back and put a blindfold on - I say, NO MORE CEASE FIRES - grind the enemy into the ground until they don’t move. There are no civilians any more - anywhere — for that matter. We’re all fair game now, so should act accordingly.
Re post 24
Amen. You said it, exactly.
“Inevitable result: a war neither wanted.”
only the thing is, the author of fiction was wrong
MAD worked during the cold war
differences never got out of hand because both sides new the consequences
Russia and China know there will be consequences for militarily intervening on Iran’s behalf. They will “support” Iran in geopolitical venues and with trade. They will not let the world’s status quo among major powers be trumped by a situation Iran is creating for itself.
Bingo...
It is hard to imagine that the author could not expect the first 5 posts on FR, which totally eviscerate him.
But he wrote it...
The most dangerous person or rather faux-leader sure ain’t in Israel.
If he unleashes Israel’s nukes on Iran and turns the country into a parking lot, he’s the best leader in the world today!!
So, is self defense more dangerous then the perpetrator’s attack?
