The Czech Republic on Wednesday followed US President Donald Trump’s lead.

In so doing, it took an unusual step of breaking with EU member states who hold Jerusalem should not recognized as Israel’s capital until a final status agreement is reached.

But unlike the US, the Czech Foreign Ministry also said that it would only consider relocating its embassy based on results of negotiations.

It’s be great if a bunch of countries follow suit. I understand there are some African nations that are recognizing Jerusalem as well.

Trump leads the world...

That is as it should be.

The U. S. isn’t perfect. Nothing governed by man, will be.

What I do see in the U. S. more often than I see in other nations, is the will to be fair and balanced.

Lets use an example. We have differed with the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza for about 70 years now. None the less, we would work with them, if they made it clear they gave up their treachery and would live peacefully next to Israel.

Europe gives a lot of money to the Arabs there, and asks nothing. It trashes Israel as if there was some moral equivalence between the two. There isn’t.

Resolutions are drafted to trash Israel all the time. I very seldom see ones directed at the Arabs.

For this reason, I place the U. S. above the E. U. and the U. N.

There’s no question which entity is more moralistic

Arabs seem not have any morals. They offer up their children with suicide bombs. What possible positive moral message does that advance.

Europe can’t grasp these things, so I think we have the clear moral high ground, even though an Obama will rise at times, and we’ll lose our moral high ground. We will get it back though, as we have done now.

More nations will join us in this, and other may already have.

I believe Saudi Arabia is on board.

Excellent points. I doubt if any of the Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Georgetown international relations majors who are running the State Department could break it down the way you just did!

Why do I think the Visigrad group is going to go its own way from the EU? And why do I have this strange feeling Russia is going to be ok with it while the EU plots to punish it?
