Russia to UN: Sanctions Don't Work

Russia got it wrong but, on the other hand, Russia got it right: Russia & Iranian Sanctions

WRONG: Russia on Friday rejected any talk for now of sanctions against Iran, and France warned against conflict with Tehran, raising doubt whether it will face swift penalties for not halting nuclear work by an August 31 deadline.

RIGHT: "I know of no instances in world practice and previous experience in which sanctions have achieved their aim and proved effective," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told reporters during a trip to Russia's far east.

So, I guess that Russia finally admits, in effect, that sanctions against Iraq were meaningless, too. Just think, it has taken them fifteen years to come to the same conclusion as that of President Bush before he sent our forces in to depose Saddam Hussein with no help from them or the U.N.

But, you will see more stalling in the United Nations and more threats of toothless sanctions while Iran continues to build its nuclear weapons capability. Is the U.N. useless or what?

"Useless" makes them sound 10 times as useful as they are. Housing is in high demand in Manhattan and Turtle Bay would be perfect for a condo development.

Since France is as much an enemy of the U.S. as is the U.N., perhaps they should think about relocating to Paris.

Thanks for pointing that out, Woody.
Now if only Russia, France, China and the UN would take that to heart, before we experience an Islamic Fascist mushroom cloud...
