My Way News - Israel welcomes Russian stand on Iran sanctions
My Way News reports: "A senior Israeli official welcomes steps by Russia toward endorsing additional sanctions against Iran as a way of stopping its nuclear program. Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev opened the door to a firm international stand against Iran."

Comment: Minister Ayalon doesn't have the good sense to see that Russia and China are playing the game of "good-cop, bad-cop" and that China will now be the recalcitrant player to use their veto power to block strong sanctions. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but China holds all the cards here, at least where the U.S. is concerned.
