…”no nation on earth has the power to dictate where the US places its embassies.”

Umm yes we can.

Who's going to stop us? The UN? Lol.

Russia? Why would they want war? Especially if we went against the EU? They'd side with us.

China? They starve to death without the US and SA. They're going to be pretty cozied up.

That's the thing about having trillions in military spending, it gives you that ability.

 

Lol... because if it were up to israel... it would have always been... where exactly?

 

Huh? Our nation our bloody rules is exactly it.

 

"If a majority of NATO member states vote in favour we will withdraw from NATO".

And that's the end of that.

 

HILARIOUS ! They just did ! -
They just told you - to take your Bully Threats
& your Scofflaw Foreign Policy & to 'Go To Hell '

You can put your embassy anywhere you want -
The UN vote simply tells you that Nobody is going
..................to recognize it as in anyway legitimate

 

I think that would be a Great Idea ! -
Any move that furthers the Isolation of Israel, the USA and their War Mongering Policies
..........................................................I would heartily welcome as a GOOD move

We can then sit back and watch the painful cracks between you and your sycophant allies
.............................................................................ripen & burst like infected Pustules

 

Soooo, you would be FINE if we moved OUR embassy to say, the Mexican border and just opened the back and front doors??

 

The UN really showed Nikki Haley and her right hand man, that Jewish guy called Jon Lerner

 

Did you expect Trump to be president?

 

Uhhh. We don't need an embassy in the US, Silly!

 

Our Embassy ought to be located where the country declares it's capital city so we can be close to the action.

Suppose we told Australia they have the wrong city and pulled out our embassy and put it at say Perth?

 

This vote does not dictate where America will put its embassy. It is a vote of disapproval of the US decision to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem.

Maybe you think this is irrelevant, but it is a reflection of American influence in the world. Trump's attitude of "we will do what we want, and we don't care what the rest of the world thinks" might sound tough, but the corollary is that the world won't listen the next time America comes asking for help. Want to build a coalition to do something with North Korea? No-one will listen.
Problems with Iran? Good luck building support for sanctions.

Here is a list of America's true friends in the world - the countries that had America's back in this vote:
Micronesia, Nauru, Togo and Tonga, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Guatemala and Honduras

Trump is the architect of reducing American influence in the world.

 

Nations can refuse embassies if they like. Israel wants the US embassy in Jerusalem, I seriously doubt the USA would approve of what you suggest.

It's anyone other than the host country and embassy country who have no say whatsoever.

 

Diplomacy is always a two edged sword.

Trump is trying to kiss up to Netanyehu so hence this Jerusalem thing now.

Personally I would prefer Tel Aviv to Jerusalem any day.

In Tel Aviv you can swim in the Sea and it is warm water !!

 

Exactly but that is not what is being claimed here

 

In this case Israel can declare Jerusalem as their capital all they want. But there is a binding UN resolution that Jerusalem is a divided city and the whole aint part of Israel. Subsequently declaring the entire city as your capital is a violation of international law. Hence it's obvious you should never support that by saying the same, and place your embassy there.

 

Looks like Israel approves.....

 

And here we have it - the sum of American Foreign Policy
A bloviating narcissist, issueing stupid THREATS at the UN
Serving ONLY to damage US influence

Defying Trump, U.N. General Assembly Condemns U.S. Decree on Jerusalem
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/21/world/middleeast/trump-jerusalem-united-nations.html

From the Article
UNITED NATIONS — A lopsided majority of United Nations members rebuked the United States on Thursday,
denouncing its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and ignoring President Trump’s threats to
retaliate by cutting aid to countries voting against it.

In a collective act of defiance toward Washington, the United Nations General Assembly voted 128 to 9, with
35 abstentions, for a resolution demanding that the United States rescind its Dec. 6 declaration on Jerusalem,
the contested holy city.

The resolution is nonbinding and therefore largely symbolic, but the vote indicated the extent to which the
Trump administration’s departure from a 50-year international consensus on Jerusalem’s status has unsettled
world politics and contributed to America’s diplomatic isolation.

 

It's all so stupid, this rabid Israeli partnership. Why should we harm our own nation in this way for Israel's sake? Why would we become advocates for where they establish their capital within their territory? It's an Israeli internal affair! And we sure shouldn't be taking sides in their religious pissing contest with the Muslim world nor their dispute with the Palestinian population, except of course to ensure that human rights are not violated by anyone involved.

 

Go to Palestine, tell them you're an American, and you're there to help them.

See what happens next.

 

Which has nothing to do with what I said. Note to future generations. Don’t get involved with nation building in the future.

 

They do and should, actually. Should the US be forced to have a North Korean embassy where ever North Korea sees fit ?

 

You are correct... and her remarks were stupid.

 

It has everything to do with what you said.

If we were to put an Embassy in Palestine they'd try to kill any US citizen that entered.

They'd kill any pro-palestine westerner that entered unless they were politically protected, including you, and parade your dead body through the streets.

 

And yet Palestine considers Jerusalem their capital.
