WASHINGTONPresident-elect Donald Trump is upending the modern convention that the U.S. speaks with one voice on foreign affairs, plunging into some of the most sensitive national-security matters before he takes office.
Mr. Trump has launched a series of challenges to President Barack Obamas policies on nuclear weapons, China and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, setting up a rare and increasingly public confrontation between outgoing and incoming administrations.
Mr. Obama on Friday brushed back pressure from Mr. Trump to block a United Nations Security Council resolution harshly criticizing the expansion of Israeli settlements. Mr. Trump on Thursday called on the administration to veto the resolution. But Mr. Obama instead chose to break from longstanding U.S. policy and allow it to pass.
Theres one president at a time, said Ben Rhodes, a deputy national-security adviser. He said the president believes its important that the world understands who is speaking on behalf of the United States until Jan. 20.

And to diminish Western Civilization, the United States and Israel.
How can the patriot we elected be silent?
Silence just allows the toilet scum to persist and grow.
This is why he won.
Carol E. Lee and Peter Nicholas’ forays into journalism strain credibility.
Obama’s betrayal of the US including providing for invasion by Islamists, his deceit in trying to weaken Israel and his arming of Iran also strain the transition.
Not to mention all his revolutions, civil wars and regime change in the middle east and north Africa.
He has been sending US troops and other assets to fight for global jihad.
Abstaining on the UN Israel consemnation put a strain on the transition- and by the way ‘poisoned the well’ for future US foreign policy.
Obama is salting the fields where ever the next admin could do well.
Very unlike the Bush admin example of preparing the road for the next admin.
"Come fix upon me that accusing eye. I thirst for accusation." --W. B. Yeats.
This is their plan: never stop accusing.
Crickets from you lying, fake news mofos leftist media!!
WHAT? Obama assured me they fight only for the House Of Saud!!

Oh brother. The left has destroyed ALL conventions on almost everything, from “policy ends at water’s edge” to that same “one voice” one.
Trump sees dangerous waters and as the next captain is already telling the pilot to steer away from the shoals, as should any good captain.
No. There’s one derelict in Hawaii playing golf and one President Elect willing to step up and protect US interests.

Obama is showing his true colors and true allegiances.
What “transition”?
The Crybaby in the WH has done everything he can to obstruct “transition”
Mainstream infomercial news is getting old.
Absolutely!!!!
Go Trump
Just like Reagan ended Nixon’s stupid DETENTE
“Carol E. Lee and Peter Nicholas forays into journalism strain credibility.”
This. They can take their article and put it where the sun does no shine.
We were on the verge of nuclear war a few short weeks ago, and now they are upset because Putin and Trump will probably meet next year and hit it off.
Just damn. We couldn’t had a hot war Carol. I know Peter.
