US seeks China's support in Iran sanctions.
« on: January 10, 2012, 03:21:46 PM »


Quote
The US treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, is visiting Beijing this week, hoping to gain China's support for US sanctions on Iran's oil industry.

China buys almost one-third of Iran's oil exports and has rejected the US sanctions as a tool to rein in Iran's nuclear programme.

Criticising the new set of sanctions approved by President Barack Obama on New Year's Eve (How many damn pieces of paper did he sign?), China has called it improper and ineffective.

so even though Iran is legit in its nuclear program and is following the rules were trying to choke them out through fucking with their oil bussiness... why do we decide who can and cant have nuclear technology? if i was Iran id say fuck your rules im not even going to follow those because youve got a nuclear gun to my head its only fair i get to point one back at you.

Yeah, it's like being in a group of people where everyone in the group has a candy bar but you, and no one will share theres. Are you gonna just be like "oh ok" and watch as they eat their delicious candy? Hell no, you'll go get your own! But just so they won't get suspicious, you'll tell them that your candy bar was made of fruits and vegetables so that you can grow a strong immune system.  Then if they really get nosey and start asking more questions, you run military exercises and tell them to back the fuck off.

I think that possible the gubb is starting to realize that our superpower days might be dwindling and we're being over protective to elongate those days as much as possible.

Yeah, that is pretty much what Iran is saying.  I personally don't like the idea of them pointing back at us.  Russians ok, Chinese Ok, Pakistan ok, but those Iranians leading their government are religious lunatics who want to bring back the 12th Imam by creating world destruction and mayhem.  Did you see the video the Iranian leadership created in 2011 where they identified themselves and the Hezbollah leader as being the individuals named in their holy texts as being responsible for the destruction that brings back the 12th Imam?

Those guys are scary, out of their heads type of lunatics.
