The United Nations general assembly has delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump, voting by a huge majority to reject his unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The vote came after a redoubling of threats by Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, who said that Washington would remember which countries “disrespected” America by voting against it.
Despite the warning, 128 members voted on Thursday in favour of the resolution supporting the long-standing international consensus that the status of Jerusalem – which is claimed as a capital by both Israel and the Palestinians – can only be settled as an agreed final issue in a peace deal.
Although largely symbolic, the vote in emergency session of the world body had been the focus of days of furious diplomacy by both the Trump administration and Israel, including Trump’s threat to cut US funding to countries that did not back the US recognition.

I understand Europe’s votes as they are cowards in the face of the Muslim migration.
I cannot understand South Korea or Japan.
They don’t have a Muslim population they have to care about.
Once we get rid of the Norks, we may have to cut them loose.
Let’s see how they fare against China without us.
We had 28 billion in aid scheduled for 2018.
Let's spend it on the wall, homeless vet shelters, to reduce our debt.
Oh, doodle, it's for the countries we send aid to - you know, the ones who burn our flags and wish us death, etc, the ones who torture dogs slowly to death before eating them, throw gays off rooftops for being gay or slowly slowly hang them in public, the ones who stone women for the crime of having been raped, mutilate the genitals of almost every single female infant born (Jordan), say it is ok to beat women and kill them if they don't want to marry the chosen husband.
Those countries. CUT their aid. Now, President Trump.
Or better yet, yesterday.
;)
UN out of US now!
Why not? Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, for example, has been pissing away all the money they don't have to spend on defense on stupid 6 week vacation social giveaways, and coughing up the money to finance an Islamic invasion.
Any US troops in Germany, now, are nothing more than a speed bump, with no strategic value. There is no way, with our current lack of heavy lift aircraft, and US flagged shipping, for us to prevent the Russians from spending the summer on the French Riviera by the time we could move to stop them.
They don't want us there, so scroom. Defending Europe from the Red Menace might have been a good idea, 50 years ago. Today? It's a waste.
Oh you should see the video from the security council vote. The guy from Japan was barely able to wait to thrust his hand in the air to vote against us.
I want us out of JAPAN now!! After all we have done to help with the norks.
Not only Japan but Greece!!! Italy!! more. No longer Christian countries Or appeasement monkeys to islam Or someone like Soros offered them big bucks.
It infuriates me that countries existing only because of our soldiers and dollars voted against us. Japan, South Korea, Lithuania, Estonia, and that even Poland could not find the backbone to vote with us in the face of the threats facing them from Russia and the EU. Some action must result. Now.
And Japan. And Japan!! Ungrateful scum. You betcha. Right now. What you said. Get us out of these countries tomorrow or sooner.
We've decided that you shouldn't have cream in your coffee so we took a vote and it is unanimous, you should NOT have cream in your coffee.
Did they vote against Russian recognition yet?
Oh me too. Especially Japan. Watch the security council vote if you get a chance. Japan guy is so eager to get his arm in the air first to vote against us.
Next time a missile flies over South Korea or Japan, keep our folks in their barracks and ask, What missile? Actually I would call home the two ambassadors and cancel the next joint military exercise.
You know what it must be? They hate Israel. I cannot think of another reason....or Soros dollars?
Hmmm, let’s hold a resolution as to whether the UN HQ should remain in the US. Oh, only we get to vote.
"The United Nations general assembly has prepared a huge Christmas gift to Donald Trump, in the form of billions of dollars of aid withheld"
If anyone ever doubted that the UN wants to rule the world, now is the time to reconsider.
Japan up to now has been a solid Trump supporter since he won the election.
I would like to know what the story is before we say FUJ!
The rest of the countries, close the bases and bring our troops and their equipment home and relocate them on our Southern and Northern Borders.
This is not new for me. For about as long as I have been a Freeper, I have called them Euro Weinies, Euro Trash.
$crew them legally/financially.
I read once that Bush wanted to close a base in Germany and Germany had a fit because closing the American base would adversely affect their economy because the base employed so many Germans.
At the time I thought so Germany’s economy is so fragile that one American base makes a difference? How absurd! Close them all and turn off the American spigot!
No president, D or R has had the guts to tell Europe to go to hades!! Long overdue.
