When will the US government wake up to the fact that Russia China and Iran are bedfellows, kindred spirits and like minded. Of course, given the fact that our current presidential leadership and that in Congress is run by a bunch of far left commie radicals, should we really be surprised?

I imagine Israel and the Jews are apoplectic and if they aren’t, they should be.

Russia, calling the shots again.

The Oval Office now has a "Check With Ivan" phone right on Zer0's desk.

And I imagine the Jews are voting DemoRat, and if they are, they shouldn't be.

Funny how in Obama's world, the US is the only nation that's supposed to enter into negotiations without preconditions.

My rabbi actually believes that Russia and Red China are going to support meaningful sanctions against Iran by the end of the year. Got that bullshit information directly from the White House.

My rabbi is a nice guy but politically he is a complete dolt.

I’m not. My mama didn’t raise no Jewish dummy despite her being an FDR liberal. I learned from life and learned how to read the enemy.
