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 Repealed an FCC ruling which progressive hysterics claimed would make FaceBook postings PUNISHABLE BY SPIDERS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?

The move was indeed promised by both Presidents Clinton and Dubya.

I would have moved it, but only once Trump moved on past many of the current distractions.

As to who voted against the US on this matter, as was said -- "NAMES ARE TAKEN." My guess is the usual process by which UN votes are tallied is BRIBERY.

Exactly.

The ill-will demonstrated in this single vote give us an opportunity to reassess the US role in both the UN and NATO.

The suppose Mission Statement of the UN was helping facilitate "world peace" (EPIC FAIL.) It's actual "mission" has been as a money-laundering operation and Muslim sledgehammer by proxy with which to harass and oppose Israel.

The supposed Mission Statement of NATO was as a deterrent to invasion and counter-balance to the USSR expansionism on behalf of a militarily weak post WW2 Europe. That mission no longer exists. And neither does the same mission in South Korea as a needed defense of invasion from NK or China. We need to pull those "permanent" 36,000 US troops out as well.

When Trump was running he was in tune with 3 primary tenets of Pat Buchanan's America First platform. Economic nationalism, national identity and a solvent foreign policy.

Restoring solvency to foreign affairs means eliminating liabilities while increasing assets. At the end of the cold war we slashed military assets, and trade policy had an even greater effect on crippling our assets. At the same time we assumed far more liabilities, for example to obligation to go to war with Russia over the Russian populated town of Narva in Estonia. And now we have Estonia voting to dictate to us where our embassies shall be placed. Estonia voted with our enemies.

North Korea was a sponsor of the resolution, and South Korea voted with North Korea against us. Both Estonia and South Korea expressed their ill will towards us, and we should take advantage to reassess our foreign policy and restoring solvency. It really is a gift if we'll take advantage of it.

Those three tenets are COMMON SENSE America-First tenets, aren't they? With those in place and prioritized, the MAGA is guaranteed. (Leftists and NWO Elites are saddened.)

At the same time we assumed far more liabilities, for example to obligation to go to war with Russia over the Russian populated town of Narva in Estonia.

I won't pretend to know anything about this. (We're all on info-overload.) Obviously a dopey, counter-productive idea. But also a decision based NOT on American interests but NWO/Globalist interests and their agenda. The American people do not GAS about Narva (as Muzzies are butchering Christians in Africa -- THAT we care about.)

Look -- Our State Dept hasn't been pro-America since...I can't remember. It's been hijacked by NWO interests and its subversive agenda. Those elements have long controlled the Military-Industrial Complex, Foreign Policy, CIA, and with it, an astronomical budget -- a number which is classified.

That means our international obligations and priorities have NEVER been pro-MAGA...but actually ANTI-MAGA.

The only reason America's manufacturing, factories and industries are practically extinct is because Poppy Bush and his NWO cabal gave Red China 'Most Favored Nation' trading status. That single move was THE lynch-pin of gutting the US manufacturing and labor (and with it a yuge chunk of the Middle Class) and replacing it with China's near-slave labor.

The USA has never been the same since as China has bought MSM, economic and political influence wth their windfall (same as the Muzzies/Arabs have done with their oil windfall.)

MAGA = Revving up domestic oil production (starving the Muzzie-Beast) and bringing back manufacturing (starving the China-Beast.) Both of those economic engines actually help leverage our political international clout.
