I doubt if Iran will ever develop Nukes or anything...you guys seem to be seriously intelletually challenged...First of all, Ive little or no interest in debating with you...so this is my last reply here...
Secondly, Chinese exports to US means employment of millions of people..this makes China dependent on the US. Ofcourse, it works both ways..US is also dependent on China for buying their worthless debt.
Given your arguement that China has made investments in Iran, I just pointed out that even economically China is more co-dependent on US than on Iran....
Just an FYI...yesterday Dr Singh in a meeting with Obama refused to vote for Iranian sanctions...
I will be surprised if China does the same...
Bye
Don't know of the common Iranian, but the Iranians on this forum need to be more humble. Iran is not a '3rd world country', but it is still behind many others. Take for example DPRK (North Korea), they are FAR ahead of iran intellectually, scientifically, industrially. Their agriculture ain't too bad, breaking even most of the years. The main advantages Iran has is location and Oil/Gas. Don't even try to compare Iran to ROK (South Korea) with is one of THE top leaders in science and technology, industrial know-how in the top 7 of the world, and shipping capacity in top 3 of the world. With only a population of 46 million it has the world's 8th (varies year to year) economy. Until Iran can achieve that, let's not be arrogant.
I haven't even mentioned the heavy weights such as Japan and Germany which both have a smaller land-mass than Iran, but leaves the Islamic Republic in the dust. Do you think Iran can beat:
Vietnam? NO, Vietnam is way ahead of Iran.
Indonesia? NO.
Brazil? NO.
France? NO.
Mexico? NO.
There are many more examples. I chose nations with comparable landmass and populations. Yes, Iran has been under sanctions, but not 'total' sanctions. Has Iran suffered like Korea or Vietnam??? NO, not even close!
So yes, Iran is doing better than some tinpot countries, but it is behind many more.
Per capita Iran beats India. But at an important time like this, it needs all the moral support it can get. Iranians should be THANKFUL that big leaders are saving Iranian's arses. Thanks to them, smaller players like Venezuala, Brazil, India, etc dare voice their support. Yes, it is true that a large part of the reason for their support is that they get something out of the relationship -- but keep in mind, it's a mutual beneficial relationship, Iran gets just as much in return. It may start out as mainly economical, but that's how all friendship starts. Each person takes turn helping the other out. And then it grows into trust, caring and moral support.
Lastly, most civilized nations and peoples don't want to see any bloodshed or suffering -- be it Iranian blood or Israeli blood or American blood. We are not taking sides, but averting bloodshed and suffering.
Swallow your pride and accept this Indian support as a good gesture. If you don't want to be indebted to anyone, then one day India needs help be there for them. RIGHT NOW IRAN NEEDS MORE FRIENDS, AND LESS ADVERSARIES.
