china is still in "build my base" mode, and isnt going to throw its weight behind iran. they dont need to. they have a firecracker economy, a shitload of people, and other sources of oil. for them, its a waiting game. not time to make a move yet.
i dont think that this will go to war, even after israel bombs iranian sites, or sends commandos into unbombable areas. israel is holding a nuclear trump, and theres too much for iran to lose - and i doubt even the mullahs are stupid enough to have parts of their country glowing with nuclear ash to play the world sympathy card - even were the jews dumb enough to give them the opening.
so, i predict stalemate. its too early in the game. the iranians will creep forward with their nuclear ambitions until world opinion turns fast enough to shut down the israelis and the yanks (thatll be interesting) while shouting that its peaceful, while the israelis will beat their drums to keep them at bay, since theyre fighting a rearguard action - the iranians will go nuclear - its just a question of when, and how - and itll probably be tied to when the two biggest new economies in the world - india and china - hit critical mass and start being independent. in that case, the string pullers in the states and israel better not misstep, or theyll be marginalised
One thing is almost for certain, no matter what happens, we can count on you to piss and moan about US involvement in it
