    The current border of Israel is the Jordan River, to contain the entirety of the WB, and has been since 1994.

    Quite the seminal moment at the bust-out freak show that is the UN, it looks like Guatemala's decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem may be followed on by at least 10 other nations according to reports as well as from Bibi Netanyahu.

    Affirmatively moving the embassy and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital (despite assurances as to final status and other details that have not changed) is the cold slap in the face the world, the PLO and the other miscreants have long needed. This is what real leadership looks like. Finally, a US president who recognizes that the problem in the region is not Israel and that there is no moral or other equivalency between them and the other players in the region.

    The other salutary effect is with the UN itself. If they continue to act like the international wing of the Democrat Party, even more money will be withheld by Uncle Sugar, perhaps even to the point where the organization is seriously crippled; a de facto American withdrawal if you will, without actually formally withdrawing.

    I have no idea what you're talking about.

    People seem to be confusing me with another poster, and this thread with some other discussion.

    This thread is about Trump's horrendous Jerusalem decision, and how Haley has committed political suicide by tripling down in support of it.

    I hope you and Jest can find the poster/thread you're looking for; maybe try searching "2016 election" or something?

    In the meantime, Haley's committed political suicide by so vigorously backing Trump's horrendous Jerusalem move.

    Bigly tragic for her, as she comes off as even MORE of a shallow and opportunistic panderer than she did during the Confederate flag controversy.

    Frankly, I'm surprised that didn't destroy her, but this has.

    Trump can survive this, but she's absolutely cooked, done.

    The Liza Warren of the right. :(

    Wait...
    The President exercises a option given to him by a 20+ yr old federal law...
    ... and a member of the administration, at the direction of the President, has committed political suicide by defending the actions of the US at the international level, when called into question by a body that has no say in the matter?

    Wow. Partisan blinders sure make people see funny things.

    .

    Let us not only HOPE for such a STUPID move
    Please - gather up your toys and your Puerile Threats & get to Hell out of the building !

    By the vote passing in the UN with such a wide margin, after the overt & naked
    economic Threats issued by Haley, the US & Israel have been put on notice

    The Nations of the World tire of your hypocrisies, double standards and blatant
    abjuring of The Rule of Law. - the very foundation any Justice among Nations

    I cannot think of a more STUPID, Ham-Fisted, Idiotic, foreign policy, Faux-Pas
    that would more quickly & more thoroughly widen the growing gap and further
    the Isolation of Israel and its Yankee Puppet from world opinion and influence

    We watch askance in happy surprise, as even your sycophant European Puppets
    .............and other until now, compliant Auxillaries to your Corporate driven Empire,
    .............................................begin to grow a Spine and dare to stand against you.

    Go ahead do it !
    Ruin the UN - By your own actions Drive the Wedge home, by your own actions !
    Such POETIC Justice ! - the greedy irrational Corporate monster eating its own babies

    Go ahead do it !
    Offend, even your Toady friends - Brilliant move ! - Go for it ! - Do It - DO IT !!
    Already they spit as you walk by - Soon you will have them be spitting in your face

    .Good Bye command & control - Good Bye reserve currency - Good Bye
    as the door hits you on the way out and sends you bumble tumbling down the stairs

    Eh ... you know ... destiny [or thermobaric weapons?].

    In any case with all those martyrs going to heaven ... they are running out of virgins [this is a disgrace!].

    Without the US, the UN collapses. The reverse is not true.
    The UN has no authority in this instance. As such, its opinion means nothing.

    I ignore if they give to this a great importance, but there are a lot of jokes about in Italy.

    For example, if Jesus multiplied breads and fishes to feed a mass of follower, we imagine that Allah will multiply the virgins to satisfy the martyrs ...+
    [Oh ... I feel a fatwa coming ... I'm trembling ...:cool:].

    Partisan blinders?

    Once again, I'm being confused with another poster - good luck finding that person! :)

    But yeah, she's dead politically, and with none of the tragic grace attending Powell's demise.

    I responded to you, so, no.
    In nothing but your blind partisan opinion.

    Well, it's a horrendous decision by Trump, and she's unblinkingly supporting it.

    She appears the pandering errand girl she is, and one without conscience.

    That's not a selling point for any politician, and after getting on the wrong side of the flag flap - pandering there as well - she's again revealed herself as the spineless opportunist she is; a moral carpetbagger of the most unsavory sort.

    She's absolutely done, and interesting to note that Trump's happy to leave her twisting in the wind he's created, and that's not a good look for him either.

    Fatal for her, a couple of black eyes for him.

    No one wins. :(

    No; I have no idea who you were responding to.

    Again, I have no idea who you're thinking of.

    Good luck to all in finding this mystery person you've confused me with. :)

    Hummm, I am not 100% so sure, she is no longer a real threat to him as she is now damaged goods to run against an incumbent lame duck. He has dragged her into the gutter so to speak and to his weakness level.

    She would have been looking at a 2024 run, so no threat to Trump, though perhaps Pence.

    But she and Trump look horrible in this; just disastrous for all concerned, and fatal for her.

    Scorched earth stuff - the kind people don't forget. :(
