EU resolution draft supports Iran's referral to UNSC

#7  Once, just once, I wish someone who is well respected and frequently visible in the media would point something out.

What happens if Iran obtains nuclear devices before the period of negotiations runs out? (If they haven't already obtained them which no person can say with 100% certainty they haven't).

Just what kind of negotiating power do our European friends imagine they will have once Iran has them?

I just scratch my head trying to figure out how a continent of humans who suffered so horrifically in two world wars can be such sleepwalkers. with other humans lives.

#6  Your spot on, .com. The MMs KNOW that the UNSC route has at least a decade after sanctions are slapped on. They are playing the West like fish, like bullheads in a barrel. Dumb, all mouth, heh heh.

The only people that will stop the madness of the MMs will be Americans and/or Israelis. Maybe some help from dissident people in Iran, but there is nothing I see that will tip the scales against them at this time.

#4  I forgot to mention China's vote will be deeply intertwined with the Beijing Peking Olympics - the machinations and calculus of "face" and leverage and image and yadda³ are truly byzantine when the ChiCom twits are involved. But the dangers of the MMs having deliverable nukes? Lol - that won't play a part unless these assholes calculate they're the target.

#3  Just curious, since actual teeth are such a rare commodity in international circles, but either way, whether it passes or not, then what?

Sanctions? No M&Ms for the MMs? Does anyone truly believe that sanctions, which will be circumvented by many, including hypocritical UNSC members, will mean dick? Honestly? And when they don't, then what? Duh.

Diplo-Dancing is akin to kissing your sister. The smuggling money will be good, however - they'll have to pay more for everything they decide they do want - and that's about the only reason I can see for China & Russia going along with, or abstaining. Just greed or a future IOU, not some sudden notion of noblesse oblige. I doubt they could even define it, much less point to a single vote that demonstrates such responsible behavior.

So then what? When sanctions don't work? Then what? And how will you know if they are or aren't "working"? No one will be there to verify, as if that was a guarantee any of us would trust with the lives of our families. If they let any of ElEnabler's boyz in, the game will just shift to what they can and can't see. Then they'll toss 'em out - knowing the Int'l Dinks will reset the clock - for their good faith, lol. I do believe we've seen this game, before. And it works on the fools and tools and greedies. Joke. Good times, bad times - the MM rhetoric never changes, does it? Lol, I'll bet they're belligerent with the Good Humor man. This is just the ultimate rope-a-dope phase.

There's adequate good excellent overwhelming reason to ridicule the UN, the EU, the entire lot of International BS. Only a very few write checks that clear at the bank. The MMs are not playing Kimmie's bluff game - they actually have an ideology - and oil money. Insane though both may be, and notwithstanding that they're cynical pricks, the MMs actually seem to believe their own BS. And they can afford to. This UNSC thingy, and the new phase of pointless / endless Diplo-Dancing it will launch is merely black comedy, a joke with one hell of a punchline. So, taking that next step on the logic train, how long does it last? Who sez when the gig is up? Will there be any teeth in the thing when the inevitable Failure to Comply occurs?

Lol.

I'm thinking I can guess... but I'd love to hear from the Tranzi True Believers. I figure the rest of us can use a good laugh.
