Unexpected especially since Russia is less than delighted at our support for the breakaway Kosovo, this.

Russia warned Iran on Wednesday that it would back further United Nations sanctions over its nuclear program unless Tehran halted uranium enrichment in the next few days.

That’s nice of Russia but it’s so not happening, first Iran will continue enrichment.

Iran’s U.N. ambassador said his nation would not comply with a new sanctions resolution and considered any demand that it suspend uranium enrichment illegal.

And seeing that Libya, on the Security Council, why I am clueless, won’t go along with sanctions, it’s not a done deal.

“Really we cannot be supportive of further sanctions,” Libya’s ambassador to the United Nations, Giadalla Ettalhi, told reporters as he went into a Security Council meeting on unrelated issues in New York.

Asked if Libya would vote “no” if the resolution went to a vote unchanged, Ettalhi said, “I think so.”

Doesn’t a vote have to be unanimous? Anyway, I don’t expect much. And then there’s China. They are unlikely to back sanctions either.
