Russia Imposes Conditions for Security Council Resolution



Britain, France and Germany propose a U.N. Security Council Resolution pertaining to Iranian nuclear proliferation. Russia and China agree with the proposal with a few exceptions.

Russia specifically wishes three boons for Iran:

1. Russia wants to eliminate the Iranian travel ban.

2. Russia wishes to qualify the financial freeze on Iranian government officials.

3. Russia wants to be able to keep supplying fuel and construction of the light water nuclear facility in Iran.


To get any kind of Resolution through the Security Council; America, Britain, France and Germany will have to concede those points to receive support or an abstention from Russia and China. A veto nullifies the Security Council process in making Iran comply.

Now let us approach the possibility that a Security Council Resolution is passed. Only a moron will believe such a Resolution will prevent Iran from going forward with its nuclear ambitions.

The only affect a U.N. Security Council Resolution will have is allowing a pretext for whoever has the cajones to engage Iran with prejudice outside the United Nations infrastructure.

President Bush will be hamstrung by Democrat Party cut-n-runners and the elites of the EU will fail to act without Arabic support that fears a nuclear armed Iran.
