I notice Donald Drumpf pulled the rug out from Netanyahu

Gawd, he was so easily suckered. The Drumpf administration balked on moving our embassy to Jerusalem and restated longstanding American policy that settlements are an obstacle to peace.

I also noticed Nikki Haley criticized Russian meddling in the Ukraine.

This maladministration is all over the place.

That leaves out the possibility that was his position all along or just as likely he changes his mind from day to day.

This makes Netanyahu very happy. So he throws a settlement bone out their that Netanyahu will totally ignore. The last settlement announcement came from Israel as Vice President Biden was in the air bound for Israel. You bet this crap is all premeditated. Netanyahu is playing chess while Tinkle Bell is playing checkers. His small fingers are easily manipulated. (See Russia).

Tinkle Bell to do his dirty work in Iran. That is the big prize. Putin wants Ukraine. Everything else is just posturing.

Trump and Putin have a pleasant chat, Tillerson gets confirmed, Trump drops sanctions, and tensions flare up in Eastern Ukraine.

Haley wags her fingers to make it sound as though nothing out of the ordinary is happening. But right not it's just words.

1) The Israeli government said that this is not the right time to consider moving the embassy

2) Trump is referring to a fee settlements that are not authorized and even the Israeli Supreme Court has unanimously ruled are illegal. Netanyahu's government only supports government arranged settlements and not those by radical religious groups.
