Yeah, that’s a good idea. Try to intimidate and bully into submission further sovereign nations with more empty threats, so that we are all sure of how awful you are. If Trump and his court of morons wanted to make appear weak, isolated and impotent, they wouldn’t do otherwise. | ||

Also statements like "we'll watch and see who votes with us" is some A-grade divisive BS. I wouldn't be surprised if those statements contributed to the vote being so one-sided. | ||

Seems like the US's most loyal sycophants generally voted "abstain" and most sane nations voted "for" but nowhere do I see a full list of actual votes. | ||

Unfortubately what you're describing is the PURPOSE of the UN. the alternative is a return to the international relations of the 1930s - which I'm not sure Trumpites are opposed to. | ||

And just the phrasing to pretend they had the authority to declare the US's recognition "null and void?" Yeah, opposition, show your true stripes, sure. I've very proud of how Haley acquitted herself and Trump's decision in general. Any peace deal must include Israel's continued presence in Jerusalem, and the Palestinians must accept that if they ever want peace. | ||

Pakistani's had their country chopped up and given away by British diplomats but they don't vote in politicians promising to throw the hindu people into the sea.

Do you have any evidence that the Palestinians have offered peace terms of any degree? I'm legitimatly curious beacuse I've never seen any and I would genuinely change my view of the issue if they ever had. | ||
