Mongolia issued a new foreign policy of creating a third national border, a virtual border or a 3D border to the Japan and western countries. Somehow, they found a virtual reality for themselves and started to live in it.

In order to fulfill the dream of their virtual reality, they officially made the announcement to support the US’s decision of invading Iraq as the first country in the entire world to kiss the butt of the Uncle Sam and annoy Russia and China.

Mongolia also sold its bid for a non-permanent Security Council seat to Japan. Japanese told Mongolian that it is too expensive for Mongolia to have an UN mission in New York sufficiently staffed to serve as a council member nation.

Their efforts got them a visit from G. W. Bush with small pocket money $11 million military aid and Mongolia sent 100 or 200 soldiers to Iraq, which is normally ignored or not noticed by the world including Americans.

They also got a visit from Koizumi and got even less money of close to $3 million aid. Japanese PM should be able to offer that small pocket money himself.

Those efforts of Mongolia showed that it probably doesn’t want to become the full member of SCO. With its behavior, Russia and China want the world forgetting the existence of Mongolia and don’t want to give Mongolia this opportunity for an exposure.

The lack of enthusiastic love from Japan and western countries toward Mongolia may eventually wake it up from its virtual reality. When coming back to reality, Mongolia may finally find out that it does only have two borders with two giants. By then, there is possibility to have a full membership seat in SCO for Mongolia. Mongolia will be as important for SCO as Mongolia is for America in Iraq. But Mongolia will be entitled to ask for aid from Russia and China.

There is no way that Russia and China (especially China as Zinja pointed out) would let Iran to achieve a full membership in SCO today. But the Iran’s willingness to join SCO is a great asset for SCO. Russia and China (especially Russia) will use it as a bargain with western powers. That is the reason that both Russia and China are vague and yet hint that such an eventuality may come to pass.

I think that Iran will not get a full membership in SCO until they get a much more moderate president or even a political system change that removes the religious spirit leader. But Iran may get more involvement in the SCO activities based on the relations between Russia, China, Iran and America.
