Discussion: Kerry: UN Vote Was About Preserving Possibility Of Two-State Solution

I listened to the speech and I thought it was very good if not great. The picture on the article above reminds me though of the joke: John Kerry walks into a bar, the bartender says, __________________________ .

Good for Secretary Kerry! Netanyahu, like his favorite President-Elect, is simply a schoolyard bully. Stand up to his bullshit and call him out for his hypocrisy and bigotry. As I have written before, somewhere George Bush is ecstatic that he will no longer qualify as the Worst President Ever. Odds on Orange Julius Caesar even finishing up his first term? Either he gets bored, or tired of the real work of ā€œPresidentingā€ and resigns. Either way, the prospect of a President Pence is truly frightening. It does remain to be seen if the Congress and Supreme Court will simply rubber-stamp all the idiotic, retrograde proposals coming from Hair Furor and his gang of thieves.

Trump and Bibi sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g. First comes love then comes marriage and there goes every Trump property up in flames under attack from Palestinian and other terrorist groups.

Netanyahu and Trump want war. It. Seems.

Certainly does seem.

Trump hasnā€™t confined his rhetoric on this to Bibiā€™s wish list either. After Berlin he decided to make it apocalyptic by claiming that we wouldnā€™t stand for good Christians being murdered by Islamic extremists.

I wonder what the terms of the future ex-Presidentā€™s casualty insurance on those properties are. Are acts of war that are a product of his Presidential actions covered?

These clowns are going to be so busy trying to undo Obamaā€™s last four weeks in office including figuring out how theyā€™re going to punish the UN, itā€™s going to take them a while to get to Obamacare. Wondering if this is Obamaā€™s plan?

Thereā€™s an interesting question that I havenā€™t given any thought to. I have no idea.

Acts of war are typically excluded. The question is, would a terrorist attack on Trump-branded properties be classified by the underwriters as an act of war.

I would run his casualty insurance rates up a lot if I were an underwriter.

I would too, under those circumstances. Iā€™d argue that acts of terrorism are not acts of war, although W kind of fucked up that argument.

@tena, I think weā€™ve just uncovered a new Conflict of Interest for the Orange Shitgibbon.

When people start building policy on ā€œwhat God promisedā€, we are fuckity-fucked indeed.

Netanyahu is, like Putin and now the US leader, a ā€œstrongā€ man authoritarian. There is probably a mathematical formula for how many of these guys you can dump into the mix before a nuclear warhead gets launched somewhere. Our universal fear of annihilation is going to annihilate us.

No doubt.

When youā€™re 65 and you donā€™t have children, this isnā€™t quite as terrifying a prospect as it otherwise would be. Just means neither my husband nor I would be left alone - we could go together.

No use worrying about what is so completely out of our control. :wink:

Iā€™m not sure Obama can force Trump to deal with the UN first, but Iā€™m pretty sure Putin isnā€™t interested in taking a back seat to Obamacare. If Obama finds a way to mess up the Russians to the point where Putin demands attention on Day One and Trump has to (pardon the expression) service him first, that would be a great parting gift.

Is Israel running America? You would have thought so if you had heard Ron Dermer on NPR after the UN voteā€¦ UN is entirely anti-Semetic, Israelā€™s right do do whatever they want supersedes Americaā€™s national interest, if they arenā€™t constantly expanding settlements Israel has no ā€œbargaining chipsā€ and besides, Palestine ā€œwonā€™t give up anythingā€ (???) anyway, deriding the Iranian deal, seemingly threatening Obama with their Mossad intelligence that the Schwartze ( my interpretation) orchestrated this existential threat against Israel and he would be exposed at a time and place of their choosing, they have Trump in their pocket anyway ( not verbatim) Practically hysterical.
Does Israel even recognize occupied territory as ā€œoccupiedā€?
Iā€™m glad the US abstained. It just exposes Israelā€™s duplicity and their desire for the US to do their dirty work of starting a disastrous war Iran. Let them start their own damn war, and take responsibility for annexing Palestine once and for all instead of doing it by stealth over the next thirty years.
