A primer on Iran and the UN
Let's review: The mission of the UN Security Council is to do a lot of things - maintain peace and security around the globe, investigate stuff, recommend stuff, make determinations, recommend some more stuff, etc. etc. (It doesn't have to do these things, because it's not as if the UN's circa 1945 power structure is about to change, but the Security Council promises to try really hard. Picture a multicultural version of a soccer mom book club - sure, it's a book club and Carson Kressley is a helluva writer but let's get down to business: pass the Merlot!)
Russia's trying to dodge a confrontation with Iran, mainly because of oil. China is, too, for reasons stated here.
Reviewing: The UN, and the Security Council, are frauds. Which means what will transpire over the next months regarding Iran will be twofold: first, the "international community" -- hogtied by China and Russia -- will wring their hands over Iran, "give the sanctions time to work," downplay the risk, and pooh-pooh the idea of any preemptive war-mongering. Second, Iran will watch all of this and laugh as they take one step after another toward a nuclear strike. Eventually, it will be because of the US that the world is saved, if it is, from Iran's nuclear weapons. The rest is all noise, and the negotiations and compromises farces of the highest order.
