As I see it USA is 3rd China in front by miles then Russia, USA (Drump) "I mean Trump" don't like this and is trying to force war on countries..

With all Trumps bad business dealings and attitude as President, there is no wonder the allies to USA are taking a second look..USA seems hell bent on starting a war with someone..

My bet is Drump will derail the meeting with North Korea for a pre-emptive strike.. Lets hope the Allies stay well clear of Drumps mess..

Trump is a (terrorist)

Three reasons Donald Trump Iran ploy will fail.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump's negotiating skills aren’t nearly as good as he claims when evaluated against the research.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/05/11/donald-trump-iran-deal-jcpoa-negotiation-plan-b-failure-column/599347002/
Even if Trump were the best business negotiator ever, it doesn’t mean he could effectively negotiate as president. In fact, he hasn’t succeeded in many presidential negotiations to date, including those relating to building and getting Mexico to pay for a wall, repealing and replacing Obamacare, and winning an “easy” trade war with China.

Yes, he got a major tax cut. But the evidence doesn’t yet support his mastery of presidential negotiations.

At least 37 dead and 500 injured in Gaza protests
The death rate in Gaza is rising. At least 37 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds have been injured in protests fired by the United States decision to move their embassy to Jerusalem. It reports the AP news agency, which refers to Palestinian health authorities.
At 13:00 UTC the new embassy will be opened, and then the protests are expected to escalate.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-44104599

Update
At least 41 Palestinians have been killed and 1,800 wounded by Israeli troops in clashes on the Gaza border, Palestinian officials say.
US President Donald Trump did not participate in the opening of the embassy but in a recorded message he said "Our greatest hope is peace" and that "the United States will always be a good friend to Israel and a partner for freedom and peace," reports Reuters.

Tomorrow is the day when the Palestinians pay attention to the Nakba, disaster in Arabic, when you pay attention to and remember those who fled and was displaced when the state of Israel was formed.
Well, tomorrow is another day...

But Trump, Netanyahu and the NRA are loving this (it gets their blood pumping).

Then again, what would you expect from an idiot and those other murders.

Bigoted Pastors Bless New U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem
Robert Jeffress said Jews can’t be saved and John Hagee said Hitler was doing God’s will.
That’s who addressed the opening today.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-pastor-the-jerusalem-embassy-and-the-end-of-days/
A diplomatic correspondent said this.
Sitting with the press at the (new) American embassy in Jerusalem, waiting for the ceremony to begin, reading about the death toll in Gaza, while guests are eating snacks. The dissonance is overwhelming

That is something like a half century and many generations ago!

What is it that keeps those people wallowing in an assumed sorrow and a forever 'war' of bitter vengeance for an imagined past nirvana?

Indeed tomorrow is another day. The art of progress is to make tomorrow better than today.

Palestinian mourn dead in Gaza as protests continue.

That terrorist leader Netanyahu, with the help of his best buddy Hitler 2.0, continues his extermination of peaceful Palestinians that just want to go back to their homes.

So, what can be positively done in those areas for the people to then live in peace and cooperation?

(For example: As in what will avoid all the continued shooting and bombing and worse?)

More bombing?

In my opinion;

1. Remove the Leader of Fanatic Religion of Peace (I mean a typical religion, because there is not allowed quotes the Holy Army of God)

2. Open a local ''Guantanamo'' facility, under control of UN (better under of NATO, because the UN sleeps and his resolutions are worth as the newspaper used to wrap the fish).

3. Economic Sanctions.

4. Economic Sanctions doesn't work? Embargo.

Giving all belligerents in the Middle East.
Only in Syria...

Giving many unfinished business over time in the Middle East.
Only in Palestine since 1799...
https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/palestineremix/timeline_main.html
Giving all historical claims of territories in the Middle East going back for more than 3000 years and later because the "Good Books" say so...

Peace in our time? Don't hold your breath.

Now this should've been done months ago.

U.N. sets up human rights probe into Gaza killings, to Israel's fury.

Israel railed against the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday as it voted to set up a probe into recent killings in Gaza and accused Israel of excessive use of force.

The resolution to send a commission of inquiry to investigate was rejected by the United States and Australia, but backed by 29 members of the 47-state U.N. forum. Another 14 countries, including Britain, Germany and Japan, abstained.

Israel’s ambassador in Geneva, Aviva Raz Shechter, castigated the council for “spreading lies against Israel” during “five hours of ludicrous statements”.

“Simply put, with this resolution, this council has reached a new height of hypocrisy, and the lowest standards of credibility,” she said.
It's high time that this terrorist state be recognised for what it actually is.

UN has ‘collapsed’ in the face of Gaza killings: Erdoğan

Erdogan: UN 'finished' after failing to act over Gaza killings


UN = League of Nations

The UN lost it when they pulled out in 1967.


UN is a place full of hot air.
A manger in which something just happens somewhere in the world, gather to say obviousness and condemn it in words.

Yes. And with the concept of veto in UN Security Council.
The UN is basically a democratic organization but with five countries entitled to say "I forbid" in a council of 15 countries, it will not be very democratic.
Then under the UN Charter, the Security Council's task is to maintain peace in the world, investigate threats and crimes against peace and so forth. In order for these proposals to go through, nine of fifteen yes votes are required and the five permanent members need to be included with them otherwise it will be no because they have the right to veto. When it is this way that five countries themselves can decide a bit as they please, one question arise; How democratic is actually the UN when five countries that make up 2.6 percent of the UN have more power alone than nine together? It's not the least democratic!

Since 1946, the countries have used their veto rights 288 times.
The United States used the right of veto for the first time in 1970. Since then, they have used veto rights more often. 46 of the United States 84 vetos have been used to support Israel by blocking proposals that criticize Israel but do not criticize Palestinian groups in the same way.

One of those people shot in Gaza was a volunteer Canadian doctor who was wearing green hospital scrubs (ie clearly dressed and acting as a doctor) and treating the injured. And he wasn't the only medical person who seemed to be targeted:

That doctor you just mentioned, a member of your team, Musa, what happened to him?

Musa's my rescuer. He was a very bright guy. Incredible man.

About an hour after he rescued me, he was trying to get another patient, and ended up getting shot in the chest.

Unfortunately, he died.


"The personnel engaged exclusively in the collection, transport and treatment of the wounded and sick, and in the administration of medical formations and establishments, … shall be respected and protected under all circumstances." - Geneva Convention, Article 9

And it certainly didn't seem warranted:

Do you believe that members of your team the medics were targeted by the Israelis?

I don't know. I'm a doctor and doctors don't make conclusions, they make observations.

My observation is that I was clearly marked and I was shot.

I don't feel I was caught in crossfire, but I can't speak to the intentions of the sniper who shot me.

The Israelis say they're using lethal force only to protect their border that they have the right to defend. They say that those who were there were trying to attack the fence or threaten border security. What do you say to that?

Any doctor will tell you that a peaceful protester shouldn't be summarily executed.

Nobody was armed, from what I saw. Everybody was there peacefully.

Yes, some Palestinians threw rocks. Some Palestinians burned tires. I've frankly seen worse in downtown Toronto protests.
