#1 More commie double-speak, as they help build up AhMad's air defense systems, sell them military hardware, help build the nuke plants, etc.

#2 yeah, they send them the equipment that they don't want or need anymore - cause it's old and outdated - in exchange for lots and lots of cash.

#3 It actualy sounds pretty smart to me, by selling the outmoded stuff (That we already know how to counter) they're getting cash for relatively worthless stuff.

#4 Nothing smart about it. The equipment we know about is dated, what we don't know about can kill us.

Couple that with the UNSC veto and the diplospeak, and military action is inevitable. In truth, Iran is a proxy for Russia/ChiComs.

#5 China's interests, or more to the point, the Chinese' leadership interest in keeping their necks is by keeping the Chinese economy going by keeping the oil coming. China goes to civil war if/when their economy tanks.

If the flow of ME oil gets interrupted, China goes down. Hard.

#6 60 MINUTES had a report last night on how China's female/daughter shortage bears risk of inducing serious societal-cultural troubles across China. Even the Chicom [lady] Minister being interviewed had to admit that the crises were very real and troubling to the CPC - so much so that the CPC is now reversing course and rewarding Chinese citizens for the number of daughters borne. It was admitted suring the interview that baby female smuggling/kidnapping was now highly profitable, wid as many as 28 female newborns being found in one bag. THE CHINESE FOCII ON BABY BOYS IS A CLEAR SIGN OF A WEAK, UNSTABLE SOCIETY STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE BY GIVING PRIORITY TO THE PERCEIVED STRONGEST OF GENDERS.As for IRAN, Dubya and USDOD still must plan for any contingency vv North Korea, Taiwan and Iran - for me, North KOrea has always been a likely diversionary or holding front for China's real target(s), TAIWAN and SOUTH-SE ASIA, espec Taiwan. Few iff any in INTEL or the USDOD believe that any attack by North Korea will NOT have the sanction or support of China. As said before, Kimmie beats the chests and war drums of Norkie regional bellicosity, but its China's PLAAF and PLAN that does the actual buzzin' and penetratin' of Japan's air-and sea-space and WESTPAC. INTERFAX.ru > West/Euro-cnetric Russia's T-160 bombers penetrated into CANADA, aka Radical Islam's CANUCK-ISTAN.
