According to you Iranians are a "sad case" because they want to have good relations with the US
Bro, by your own definition, the entire China gov is a sad case...bro 

You don't get the point.

The reality is , in this world today, only 3 countries are truly independent and sovereign. In other words, only these 3 countries are qualified to sit at adult dining table. Iran is not one of the 3!

So, Iran got to be wise not to be played into the hands of Assmerica.

China is very different. It doesn't need USA for anything. On the contrary, Assmerica needs some important metals, etc from China for their military industry, space technology, etc. etc.

Put it simply, China is too "big" for Assmerica to go for war with.
