Jingthing Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Oh sheit, here we go, the troll president has done it again. Pretty insane!

dave_boo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Can it be pointed out that the Wafq is Jordanian? For all their claims of wanting to be an independent state, which hasn't ever been a historical fact, and that they receive 2.5 Billion USD in aid they sure don't seem interested in maintaining the "third most holy site".

Jingthing Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) It seems to me that this move makes Americans abroad everywhere less safe. There are already travel warnings about that in Israel / Palestine. And for what? What's gained from this? I don't see anything.

Yes, definitely not a great development as far as Americans abroad are concerned. Guess US embassies will ramp up security for the near future. As for what's gained...unless there are some covert understandings with some of the key players, hard to see the point. On this score, while international responses were negative. as expected (and rightly so) - they haven been relatively low key. Of course this could change in a blink of an eye, but I think previous instances over similar issues flared up faster. That's also related to relevant players facing other issues at this time. Whether this is just Trump getting mentally stuck on something, or if there's an actual plan at work is hard to tell, given that such a hypothetical plan doesn't seem all that bright.

It wasn't about that wasn't it it was about countries Saying and/supporting Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel,,,Israel stated Jerusalem as the Capital,That's good enough for me. Maybe that's why DT says it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
