First, Russia unleashes a vodka-infused belch in Madame Secretary’s pitch for sanctions against Iran.

Now, China drip-drip-drips cold water on the initiative, too:

China praised its growing energy and trade ties with Iran in remarks that further diminished any expectation that Beijing will support efforts by the U.S. and its allies to sanction Iran over its nuclear program.

“The Sino-Iran relationship has witnessed rapid development, as the two countries’ leaders have had frequent exchanges, and cooperation in trade and energy has widened and deepened,” Premier Wen Jiabao said in a meeting with visiting Iranian Vice President Reza Rahimi, according to the state-controlled Xinhua news agency.

…

The comments Thursday came a day after Russia also pushed back on any possible sanctions. Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, in Beijing for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, said Wednesday it is “premature” to threaten sanctions against Tehran.

Resistance from China and Russia, which can veto sanctions proposed through the United Nations Security Council, could derail attempts to use sanctions to punish Iran. Last week, the U.S. met with 10 allies to explore possible sanctions, such as targeting Iran’s energy supplies or financial system.

This is the change we’ve been waiting for?

I’m going to be more than fair to President Obama (not for long, don’t worry) and say that these commie reprobate poor excuses for world leaders would have given the brush off to President Bush, too. I think that’s a given.

But Bush would have known that, expected it, while Obama, Clinton, and the rest don’t get why the rest of the world (the Nobel committee aside) just don’t dig them. They’re so smart, so charming, so articulate, they hate Bush as much or more—shouldn’t that be enough?

Our readers know how the world works, even if the administration does not. China ain’t our friend, Russia ain’t our friend, the UN ain’t our friend. They all wish us ill. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This administration is stark raving mad.
