This is a very valid criticism, however, both China and Russia have demonstrated a
willingness to sell their silence in the past, and in the Russian case, with respect
to Yugoslavia, and letting the "allies" have their way with her. It is probably the
urgency of the crisis of capital that will determine how unilaterally (eg NATO) vs.
multilaterally this military effort might be perpetrated. Certainly Russia and China
have the power to stop it in either case, but they have not done so for Iraq, nor for
Yugoslavia, and the beat goes on. Somehow, their threat to Western hegemony always
seems to end up on the auction block well before it gets actually implemented.
Peace,
