Israel Won't Share While Trump is Pres

Forums:

Donald Trump had casually blabbed about intelligence from overseas allies on two occasions last year. The most important one was when he regaled the Russian ambassador about the intel that led to an alert concerning a potential laptop bomb being smuggled onto an airline.

...His revelation essentially blew the intelligence operation; the listening device the Israelis had placed went dead shortly after....but he said it was “much worse” than what is “publicly” known, and that Trump essentially revealed the “crown jewels” of Israeli intelligence operational methods in Syria....Israel has come to the conclusion that the administration is “chaotic” and absolutely cannot be trusted with any sensitive information; and will not reveal to the Americans any information unless it doesn’t care whether such information is publicly known.

Please tell me again how Hillary should be prosecuted for having emails on a private server.

How does Trump's actions negate Hillary's?  Definitely in a different league than Trump, but why should she be absolved if her hands were dirty?  Not suggesting, it needs to be re-hashed, but at the same time why should it be completely ignored?

 

And yes, there's probably a major shit show going down on the world stage due to Trump's inability to grasp the larger picture and even moderate nuances of foreign policy.

I agree, no need to rehash the Hill, lets let her fade away.  No matter who Trump was running against, people who voted for him are cray cray (and that's me being generous).  But I do imagine world leaders talking behind his back and wondering if he is actually this stupid.  Then agreeing "OK, Frenchy, Abe, Ben, y'all make nice with him, and THANKS for taking one for the team".

If I was Bibi, I wouldn't trust the Trump administration with shit.   Trump's heart may be in the right place when it comes to Israeli security, but yes, the White House is just too chaotic and dysfunctional to trust with the most sensitive intelligence.

That being said, those US supplied bunker buster bombs sure put on a show the other night.    

The United States and Israel signed an agreement in September 2016 to give Israel $38 billion in military assistance over the next decade, the largest such aid package in U.S. history.

>>> Trump's heart may be in the right place when it comes to Israeli security.

Assuming he has a heart, which is a pretty big ass leap right there.

He's a business man remember?

"A great negotiator"

 

Hope you enjoyed your bomb show Ken.

Now if we can just get that rapture thing to happen that everybody's talking about.

 

 

they help with shooting, bombing and oppressing people so we don't have to do all of it...

What I find interesting is how there are probably a wide range of hawks vs. doves in other countries and it's possible some of the hawks are aware of Trump's incompetence and are seeking to exploit for their own gain.   At the same time, moderates (in foreign countries) might be working behind the scenes to thwart the intentions of the hawks in order to insure long term interests are kept stable (in the event Trump is removed).    Likewise, moderates / doves might be up against hawks in countries such as Russia or China to simply maintain world peace:  this is the part I find really interesting and the most unsettling (that our fate might be dependent upon moderate operatives in other countries).
