maybe its prophecy
Maybe the countdown to the anti-christ wasn't triggered by the creation of Israel but making Jerusalem the capitol

It is also probably one of the worst decisions His Trumpiness could have made short of literally dropping cluster bombs on Yemeni funeral homes.Moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a significant foreign policy move. Do not make light of it.

A tad dramatic, don't you think?It is also probably one of the worst decisions His Trumpiness could have made short of literally dropping cluster bombs on Yemeni funeral homes.
And that influence doesn't really help American interests outside of our interest in propping up Israel.Together with the Flynn affair, which revolved around trying to block a Security Council resolution critical of Israel, this just goes to underline the immense amount of Israeli influence on US foreign policy.
Why? What does this help?A tad dramatic, don't you think?
In any event Trump is following through on something other Presidents have promised. RR should have been done this more than a generation ago.

Yet they didn't because they knew it would be disastrous for foreign relations and wipe out any chance for peace.In any event Trump is following through on something other Presidents have promised. RR should have been done this more than a generation ago.

It props up Israel. It's respect and good manners.And that influence doesn't really help American interests outside of our interest in propping up Israel. Why? What does this help?
It's not disastrous. It's a tit for a tat that clearly differentiates from the Obama years.Yet they didn't because they knew it would be disastrous for foreign relations and wipe out any chance for peace.
How does this prop up Israel? And if Trump decides to throw his support behind the Israeli idea of total control of Jerusalem, how is that good manners or respectful?It props up Israel. It's also respect and good manners.

It's respectful of Israeli wishes, hence the good manners.How does this prop up Israel? And if Trump decides to throw his support behind the Israeli idea of total control of Jerusalem, how is that good manners or respectful?
Given that Russia is technically not an enemy of the US of A then POTUS, as much as we dislike him, is obstructing justice.I mean, Mueller is potentially investigating the President of the USA. Is that not basically treason ?
The basic reasoning is that ‘it annoys people who annoy me’ or ‘people I don't like don't like it’.what are we gaining by that?
seems unnecessarily provocative
Yyyes. Which doesn't mean that the U.S. of A. and the rest of NATO/SEATO/Western Allies have a right to be proud of what they've done. It takes two to sign a peace treaty, and the Kims only really decided to develop nukular capabilities when Bush started pre-emptively invading Axis of Evil countries.China and Russia should be ashamed for what they've done to North Korea
Some people aren't really people so not worthy of manners or respect.How does this prop up Israel? And if Trump decides to throw his support behind the Israeli idea of total control of Jerusalem, how is that good manners or respectful?
Most Palestinians in Gaza have more pressing concerns, like finding decent medical care, finding work, ect...........
One comment which puts things in perspective. Hamas called for three days of rage. Not much happened due to bad weather.

Let's declare the Niagara Falls to be Canadian property, in perpetuity.The embassy is generating a lot of press, from both sides. For something that is purely symbolic, it's a big effect.
I could not have said it better. But it shoots down this.Most Palestinians in Gaza have more pressing concerns, like finding decent medical care, finding work, ect.
