Understood.

And I’m sure Netanyahu is well aware of that as well. The difference, I think, is that obama and his muslim henchmen want to usher in the NWO with Israel wiped off the map. Putin believes in the nation-state and has no ideological animosity towrad Israel.

Also, since a changing of the guard in the US is only months away, it seems to me that the Prime Minister is taking measures in the event Hillary is the one inaugurated. Maybe his own internals tell him that the cheating may well overwhelm the popular vote. Therefore it may be time to buddy-up with another superpower and hedge his bets, so to speak.

Obviously I am not privy to the most sensitive information, but there IS a reason Netanyahu is warming to Russia and shunning the USA, whatever it may be.

Absolute desperation on his part. Hopefully, Trump gets some people on his team who know something about Russia and the clever and deceptive way they operate. Putin's ultimate aim is to basically restore the lost (evil) empire.

I am now no longer surprised by these stories detailing how we have been mislead or outright lied to by the Obama Admin. I just check the news every morning to see what the latest lie from the Feds is for the day.

Ive come to have complete faith and trust that President Trump will do the right thing with respect to Israel, Russia, and China (not to mention the good ol’ USA).

Rest assured he will bring in some very competent people who will see to it we are returned to our rightful place in the world and the problem nations are put in their place.

I also think a Trump victory will cause Netanyahu to reverse course and relations with Israel will normalize rather quickly.

I believe these payments are illegal unless the money was specifically APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS. It is a crime for the Obama administration to authorize the spending of money Congress did not appropriate!

Check the law called the ANTIDEFIENCY ACT. Bureaucrats already have been sent to prison under this law....so, now what?

Congress?

Crickets....

In 1979 Iran declared war on the United States of America, and this country has yet to return the favor. Seems to me surreptitiously handing over $1.7 Billion dollars in cash to a nation that has declared war on this country is treason.

It also comes to mind that by doing so, by giving away the money to Iran Obama has removed from our negotiating power a major tool of leverage, and received not a damned thing in return, nothing.

THeir argument would be it was their money that we froze after the hostage crisis and it should have been returned 30 years ago.

payment in cash makes it easy for much of it to find its way back to obama’s pockets.

So I am thinking about that scene in “Lethal Weapon 2”, in which Riggs and Murtaugh get locked into a container by the baddies and it turned out it was filled to the brim with money as part of the drug and money laundering ring that the two (along with Joe Pesci) were investigating.

That shows their loyalties aren’t with this country. Obama’s made it clear his aren’t.

THEY declared war on us, and they funded the terrorism against us, and they took our people for over a year, and this alleged president rewards them.

I pray Trump gets the WH, and leads this country back as he has promised, and I do believe he will do his utmost to keep that promise no matter the circumstances. He’ll at least try.

But I can’t give ten bucks in cash as a political donation!

With all the cash, I immediately suspect Obama and probably others are getting a huge kick back on this scheme. This is how he will finance his lavish lifestyle after Jan 20. Book deals my ass.

You and I do more than $10,000 in a cash transaction, we go to jail.
