I am so mad about Caligula’s treatment of Israel. He is wrong and he will make us suffer for it. The people who voted for him didn’t realize he would be so destructive of our long-term relationships.
The people that voted for him (even several of my friends and co-workers) .....

“The people who voted for him didn’t realize he would be so destructive of our long-term relationships.”
I don’t think so, Jem. My take on that is either 1. They didn’t know about our long-term relationships with other countries; or, 2. They flat didn’t care! They just wanted MORE and his hope and changey thing was going to give it to them.
And, both of those statements include the clowns in Congress too.
Jem, I just was reading the thread entitled “Netanyahu Cancels Trip to Obama’s Nuclear Summit” and I thought you might be interested in response 36. Very enlightening.
There is quite a bit of discussion about the way BO treated Netanyahu when he was here meeting with BO, and discussion about what good, if any, it would do for Israel to sit around a table full of its enemies, etc. But response 36 gives lots to think about.
“Is it just me or is there something bigger brewing? Russia and the US just signed an arms control treaty that pretty much limits when the US can defend itself. It was a major win for the Russians. (Russia being a naturally paranoid state would never sign anything that would put it at a disadvantage, they learned their mistake from ww2). The same second that Obama is over there getting worked over by the Russians, Vladimir Putin calls the opposition leader in Krygyzstan to say that Russia fully supports the coup. Russia also decides to send paratroopers to “secure” the Russian general staff. Our largest airbase is now in jeopardy of losing it’s lease. This airbase has long ticked off the Russians, but is essential for our national security and for providing operations into the middle east and Afghanistan. Now we have Israel completely ticked off with the US, and other nations now feeling that they will have to provide for their own defense for the US nuclear umbrella is no longer in effect. Scary times.”
