Russia and China rule out force against Iran
2006-05-17
Russia and China will "definitely not" approve the use of force against Iran over its nuclear programme, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday after meeting with China's leaders. "Russia and China definitely will not vote for a resolution which could be an excuse for the use of force," Lavrov said through a translator after meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Li Zhaoxing, and President Hu Jintao. "We believe we shouldn't isolate Iran or increase pressure. This will not only not reduce the possibility of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, it will have the opposite effect."
Who expected anything else from the League of Authoritarian Nations?

#4  They sure like to create lots of "rules" out of thin air to suit their moods.

So... what brand mood ring do they prefer?
