China has other interests I can assure you. China is far more concerned with developing their own deposits -- many of which are in contested international waters. China benefits fron our invasion of Iraq -- it is a good basis to justify an invasion of Taiwan and a good basis for using their military to seize oil deposits in the waters of their neighbors because they have the military to do so. Russia has mixed motivations to be sure, but no country took a stand more motivated by oil than the United States. The point stands. These are not countries opposing what we do out of hand. Nobody opposed Kuwait -- and there is plenty of oil there. You cannot expect other countries to sign a blank check for the US to start unilateral wars of aggression.
