The way the Iranian regime has "bought" the Russians and Chinese is in the way of deals, mutual investments.

I hope that you are right, but I have had this awful thought that it's not Iran that plays China and Russia, but the other way round. I mean that maybe Iran is a pawn. I still think that Iran is too poor to play such extensive games.

Thank you for your kind word. I'm working hard on my English so I truly appreciate it. But I have to admit that the mistakes Cyntia laughed out so loudly shouldn't have happened.

Iran isn't as poor as it should be, because instead of spreading itself too thin, the regime spends the money it should be spending on its people and infrastructure, on outside "investments" (like the ones you mentioned)
Besides all the oil money, they get lots of $ from drugs. And of course when they run out, they print (counterfeit) more. ;~ )


Don't be so hard on yourself. I rarely use the spell-checker here, so I make typos and spelling mistakes. Everyone does. Some typos are funnier than others.
