Well you seem to have shifted from saying Russia and China will go to the mat for Iran against the USA, to saying they don’t care if Iran develops nukes. A far cry different.
Just like everyone else, Russia and China have much more to lose from the USA, than they could possibly gain from Iran. They will only use Iran to make trouble when there is no real cost.
When push comes to shove, Iran is utterly alone in the world, as evidenced in Syria recently - Russia and Syria told their military to stand down, while the Iranian military was being bombed.
Call it what you will. I believe that Russia and China will not support the U.S. sanctions against Iran and will do what the can to make sure their business with Tehran continues.

They don't believe there will be cost involved. ZTE has taught them that.

I disagree.
