Jerusalem is Israel's capital, says Donald Trump - BBC News

Not sure if this should go in the WWIII thread.

This guy sure knows how to make the big decisions.

Why did he not just order a nuclear strike on the middle east? It'll have the same effect.

The timing is extraordinarily curious. Why now?

In the words of Cliff Richard 'It's Christmas time ...'

The timing is extraordinarily curious. Why now?

1) Accused of collaborating with the Russians during the election.

2) Sacking the head of the FBI (remember that?) really is reeking of someone trying to cover their tracks.

3) Condemning Harvey Weinstein is backfiring given Trumps history towards woman.


Are just but a few spotlights..... how do I turn the heat down on me? I know, lets recognise Jerusalem as capital of Israel!

True Alpha male stuff.

Or let's do as the donors ask?

Quite, though why the rich need backers for their vanity political campaign seems odd. Apparently he received $35m and one of the actions of the 'donation' was to forward Israel's cause. Not like the yanks have been lacking in that over the decades.

About time they just got on with the two state solution.

Now though we'll have all the brainwashed religious nuts going on a rampage due to this 'outrage'. If they murder for a dodgy cartoon then this action isn't going to be received with a shrug of the shoulders.

I thought his speech was superb, unfashionable as it may be to say I think he sounded properly presidential. Apart from it being the right thing to do. Credit where credit's due.

[woohoo]

The timing is extraordinarily curious. Why now?

Not sure but I'm thinking twice about going to the Manchester Xmas market.

Cos ISIS/Daesh are about to be eliminated and the region was just about to get a bit more stability.... and I’m not joking here. Stability in the neighbouring countries does not serve Israel’s interests.
