US threatens the rest of the world, saying "We will remember this day"

[MultaniGuy]

Pursuing national interests is not a popularity contest.

The present structure of the Middle East is predicated on Israel being a focal point for others to resist, if you can grasp that concept.



Your words would be more credible when you decide to move there since it is getting so much "better by the year".

Actually I would love to move back one day.

I am going this summer to Pakistan. I will see for myself how things are in Pakistan.

But lol you live in USA?

The problem is that all of America's major allies voted against them, despite the multiple threats from Nikki Haley.

And for what? It's not as if Israel was going to dump America if they did not move their embassy to Jerusalem.

There was nothing to lose then. Though there is a lot to lose now.

Agreed with you. That is why USA is declining as a world superpower.

The sooner China and Russia rises the better for the world.

For what remains to be seen. That whole region is poised for great changes that have been a long time in preparation.

LOL. America will do whatever serves its national interests. The rest will take care of itself.



May be you and your family would want to move to China by then?

What national interest are you talking about? Its special interest driving all this Trumpian BS.

Infact, I would argue this blind support for Israel is the average American's biggest liability.

Actually, underneath all the brouhaha, there is continuity of US policies in the Middle East for good reasons.

Except that US policy was never to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, even during the most staunchly Republican eras.

Though Trump isn't really a Republican/Conservative, Trump's Alt-Right supporters refer to Conservatives as "Cuckservatives".

Please do note that Trump has not given any time table for the move.

I would like to hear your thoughts.

Do you think he will make good on his promise to pull the USA out of the United Nations, and do you think that is a good idea?

He may, and it may not be a bad step to take. Why should USA take on the responsibilities of the world upon itself in such a manner that earns it nothing?

Could you elaborate on that?

I would have thought that America's empire building was their biggest liability.
