The Administration is carving out an exception for China to its bill tightening sanctions on Iran.
Unlike South Korea and Japan, our supposed allies in the region, Chinese companies would suffer no punishment for trading with Tehran.
Perhaps this is a bribe to get the Chinese on board at the UN, but the reality is neither the Chinese nor the Russians are serious about imposing more sanctions.
Sooner or later, the President’s going to have to decide whether he wants to make a deal with the Iranians.
The sanctions so far aren’t stopping Tehran from nuclear development, and there’s very little international appetite for a solely punitive approach.
Gorilla thinks: “Cut to the chase and cut a deal!”
