- It looks like they were all summoned to the kingdom for a good ol fashioned anal train or 'caravan' as they refer to it there_niko
- Someone told him there was going to be a room full of men with white headgear on. Imagine his surprise.face_melter

"FIRST image of Trump as president abroad: in palace with royal family that beheads, imposes religious law and denies basic rights to women."

He's not wrong.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-n…- Good speech I thought. Shame about the whole $100 billion weapons thing though. Inshalla.monoboy
- selling $100s of billions of weapons to human rights abusers and the most prolific state sponsors of islamic terrorism is deeply idiotic.lowimpakt
- Wahhabis no less. Fucking idiot is right.monoboy
- Iran is continuing to reform, elected a moderate again. Nothing mentioned.monoboy
- It's almost as if it's some sort conspiracy.monoboy

Trump's speech mentioned his desire to isolate Iran. This was a few days after over 40 million Iranians voted in elections.
About 60% of iranian's voted for Rouhani who has called for better international relations.
what a stupidly timed speech. Trump and his team are incredibly naive and are only interested in selling weapons to human rights abusers.

- Russian friends might have something to say about this soon.monoboy

"The Obama years have been a boom time for America's weapons makers. Since 2009, the United States has approved arms deals worth some $200 billion—more than under any other presidency. The deals include sending Apache helicopters to Qatar, "bunker buster" bombs and cluster munitions to Saudi Arabia, and Hellfire missiles all over the place. "
so either Obama or Trump, US War Industry agenda never change.
Arm the radicals in Syria, send heavy arms(for free?) to Marxist/Leninist Kurdish terror organizations and now Saudis who are known for supporting Al-Qaida and ISIS.
Most of the Americans did not say anything when those arms were sold to Saudi's during Obama's term so they shouldn't say anything now, otherwise it's straight up hypocrisy.
- Actually, lots of people criticized Obama's war efforts. Many people who voted for him were openly critical of arms deals, the drone program, etc.nb
- Side note: "If you didn't say anything then, you shouldn't say anything now" is one of the stupidest arguments I've ever heard.nb
- don't be so quick. If one is against dealing arms to cruel regimes but they don't say anything when their favorite guy is doing it is hypocrisy i'm saying.Beeswax
- it's really important for someone to acknowledge this trap, then they will be able to see things more clear.Beeswax
- I don't think many would argue there's been much difference in parties in regards to war agendas. Trump, if anything, is the hypocrite.formed
- He's the one that promised to stay out of other's business and yet here is, puppet following the same pattern.formed
- odd that people act like no on criticised Obama. You kidding right?inteliboy
- I think there is a difference in that Obama wanted to normalize relations with Iran while Trump and the people around him are very hostile to Iran.yuekit

The orange idiot is coming to town tomorrow with his posse of about a thousand more. I just hope it's at least a bit funny since all of Jerusalem is closed up, police on every corner and shit... It's a nightmare.
I don't know if Spicey is with him, he's good with camouflage (one never knows where he's at, in the bushes or...), but I hope Trump takes some learning materials for him from Yad Vashem. On the Holocaust Centers and all that...- And yeah, we're all very happy Jared is coming to look into the peace thing too... :)renderedred

Mercifully, so far the week seems to be starting out quietly. We need the rest, especially since it will probably all resume when The Great Orange Man-Bitch comes back to Washington.
