Title: Trump Threatens to Cut Foreign Aid to Countries That Vote to Forbid the US from Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's Capital

The good sort of Trumpian: people don't like being played for chumps, and Trump gives voice to that.

"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care," Trump told reporters at the White House.

The US already vetoed this attempt in the Security Council, but now they're having a meaningless vote on it in the General Assembly:

The 193-member U.N. General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday -- at the request of Arab and Muslim countries -- to vote on a draft resolution, which was vetoed by the United States on Monday in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.

Nikki Haley is reinforcing Trump's threat.

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in a letter to dozens of U.N. states on Tuesday seen by Reuters, warned that Trump had asked her to "report back on those countries who voted against us."

She bluntly echoed that call in a Twitter post: "The U.S. will be taking names."

Meanwhile, the ninnies who cry that #TrumpIsKillingUsAll are, alas, still with us.

Do you remember the three freak-outs recently in which the ninnies claimed Trump was "killing us"?

I do.

Here's Trump's MURDER SPREE in progress:

  1. Forcing the #VulnerablePoor into a THUNDERDOME of JOB OFFERS and CASH BONUSES
  2. Repealed an FCC ruling which progressive hysterics claimed would make FaceBook postings PUNISHABLE BY SPIDERS
  3. Recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, plunging the Middle East into a state of unrest not seen since LAST WEDNESDAY

The countries that voted with USA and Israel:

Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo

The important thing is to strike a hard blow at the onset. In some of these nations there will be political fallout for having suffered the consequences of earning America's wrath over something which did not even involve them.

There are awfully many of them. Are you sure, striking them is a smart idea? BTW, the fallout might go the opposite way.

The countries that voted with USA and Israel: blah-blah-blah

You weren't paying attention to Haley.

Her warning was issued to those who voted against us and our right to site our embassies where we choose.

She never demanded that they all vote no or face consequences. She demanded that they would not vote yes.

About 15 didn't even show up for the vote. Among them, Ukraine. You think they would have gotten the green light for light weapons export from the U.S. yesterday if they had voted against us? No way.

There are signs that quite a number of countries were intimidated to some degree.

I noticed that Haley already threw a big party at her penthouse. Only the No votes were invited. So they all enjoyed some alone time with Nikki Haley and the Israeli ambassador.

Very good point, she did not say "you are with us, or you are against us" as Jorge Arbusto once did. Most nations really have no dog in this fight, and abstention was perfectly acceptable.

To be honest with you, I would not have moved the embassy myself; but it is a matter which concerns the United States. Estonia. Albania, Japan and South Korea have no dog in the fight, but they had to go on record as being against the United States.

The real opportunity here is to "save big." The once who voted against us include a number of nation mooching off of us, living under our defense umbrella, running massive trade surpluses at our expense and enjoying trade lanes kept open courtesy of the US Navy. Liberia make good money as a flag of convenience, but you will not find the Liberian Navy patrolling the Gulf of Aden.

Also, they way things will most likely play out is that our existing consulate will become the embassy. It is located on territory that was Israel before the Six Day War. Perhaps we could remove our embassy from Seoul since North Korea claims the entire peninsula, going off the same logic that South Korea supported by its vote?

Don't be too sure that the home governments of the U.N. delegations even care or back up what their UN delegates vote on.

Spectator.org: Dredging Turtle Bay, Another Swamp Just Begging to Be Drained

And it’s no wonder that so many nations’ representatives vote against us regularly. I interviewed my friend Amb. Jose Sorzano in preparing to write Inside the Asylum. Jose was the deputy to our greatest UN Ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, during the Reagan years.

The UN is, naturally, a hotbed of espionage. Jose told me about a fun exercise he engaged in with his Soviet counterpart. They both went to their intelligence contacts — the CIA and KGB — and asked how many of the UN representatives were instructed how to vote by their governments.

When Jose and the Soviet met for a lunch a few weeks later, they compared notes. The CIA found that only thirty of the then 159 delegates were getting instructions from their governments. The KGB found the same and added that only two actually read the instructions (and one of those two underlined).

I may post that article later. I'm always up for an anti-UN article from most any source.

I'd like to see it. I'm no fan of our our involvement in the middle east, and in light of Nikki Haley's revelation that most of the General Assemblies are about Israel and the Palestinians it seems like the UN is just another vehicle to embroil the United States over there.
