    We had his support before he was even elected, all of you underestimate Trump so you dont see how cutting deals work toward "America first"

    I'm shocked the Israeli government didn't force out the Palestinians at gunpoint and move their people into the West Bank, its not like anyone would try to stop them their military is top notch and I know they likely have a nuclear deterrent force to use if needed and I suspect they would if anyone forced them to. As for our government if we want to park our embassy in Jerusalem its our business not the UN's.

    Or rather the only one you understood, if I judge by the elementary school yard scenario you proposed.

    You thought you were quite bright when you wrote it, didn't you?

    Well, looks like for now, they disagree with you, hence the subject of this thread.

    Don't these weirdoes live in a peculiar world? It is the drugs, I suppose: they affect the ability to count.

    Don't count your orange eggs before they hatch. Trump has just began to screw up our country.

    Certainly, while not giving them a blanket pass over everything - sometimes we' all make a stand. Tis is one of these time, the US seems to be making a stand.

    Down the chute? A self-obsessed noodle doesn't give a bugger for anything but himself, you know.

    Sorry Gilos, many people have dirty hands from the Nazis and the Zionist Jews of Germany are amongst them. With hindsight we can see it, at the time I personally would not blame them for doing what they did I think.

    This guy doesnt care, if I want to visit Jerusalem I just drive for 40 min and Im there even without your approval, the declaration is empty and its opposition is empty, fake news all of it.
    Matbe but only in countries that Trump wanted to cut aid in the first place, unless you think he actually thought to get a favourable vote in the un ?
    I think you need a hug, we dont hate you we just disagree on some things.

    They'd last all of ten minutes without the mugs who pay for them and support their every Nazi move.

    The international aid thing is a scam. Even with Israel's tiny population and huge sums of money given, it amount to about 500 bucks a year for every citizens (in the stupid supposition it does go down, of course). You know many people who are bought for 500 bucks a year? This isn't about the US' international aid/corruption, it's about legitimizing a crime and people are, basically, against that on principles.

    I don't know anyone who doesn't need a hug.

    They do not because not only would it turn world opinion completely against them it would also force the hand of liberal Jews both inside and outside Israel. Most importantly the liberal Jews in the USA might not stand for it, what price Israel without US support?

    The World opinion of Israel is already completely against them; could not be any worse. Has to be something else... something you're not willing to admit even to yourself.

    You will be the poorer for it. These sums you give to other countries, to NATO, to the UN - it's not out of generosity - it's in a desire to influence and control them, to your advantage.

    And recently it showed its limitations.

    This is mainly political, not economic. Any Euro company who cuts off trade to US didn't have trade to begin with. Let me know when major German manufacturers turn down business with the US.

    LWers have been complaining for decades that the US should pull out of Europe and other countries. Now that there's a chance we'll do it, why are they whining? Pulling out of the UN and NATO will cause the US to have influence, leaving a vacuum for Russia to fill, but that's the way things were going anyway so why worry about it? Let Russia dominate Western Europe by controlling their access to energy. That's been the push all along and we'd be doing is pulling out of a losing battle over it. When war comes, the US won't be dragged into it immediately. It will be a replay of WWI/WWII; they bloody themselves for a few year, then the US will finally step in and finish it.

    http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Energy_production_and_imports
    The dependency of the European Union (EU) on energy imports, particularly of oil and more recently of gas, forms the backdrop for policy concerns relating to the security of energy supplies. This article looks at the production of primary energy within the EU and, as a result of the shortfall between production and consumption, the EU’s increasing dependency on energy imports from non-member countries. Indeed, more than half (54.0 %) of the EU-28’s gross inland energy consumption in 2015 came from imported sources.

    Yes - it's a deep secret - we would like to see all the surviving Nazis in jail - though, fair play, better jails than the US affords to so very, very many of its citizens.
