Russias unexpected announcement recognizing Israels eternal capital of Jerusalem, a dramatic decision that places Vladimir Putin against Donald Trump in a totally new big-power rivalry the race to Jerusalem.
Many American and Israeli Jews have waited with mounting impatience for Trump to keep his campaign promise to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Against an atmosphere of US equivocation, Putin suddenly announced, without preamble or restricting conditions, the recognition of Israels capital, to take effect immediately.

Right. So the U.S. didn't give a sh!t about the first 500,000+ people killed in this Syrian civil war (in fact, we have been an active player in this war behind the scenes) ... but we have to send out Nicky Patel (or whatever her name is) to lecture the U.N. in front of the TV cameras over the last 80?
No wonder the U.S. government doesn't give a sh!t about its citizens subjects. They're running a country filled with the most gullible people on the planet.
Can you explain what Share Blue (or is it Sharia Blue) is? Thanks.
I simply asked that you remove my name from your ping list. I like you and would prefer to keep this civil. Thanks.
Tillerson says Assad must go.
Pelosi,Reid, Obama, Valerie Jarret, Kerry, Soros, Hillary said Mubarek must go-—Kaddafi must go-—Assad must go.
I don’t see any difference.
Russia recognizes western Jerusalem as Israels capital, eastern Jerusalem for Palestinian state

Like saying East Berlin is capitol of Germany. Nobody is going to say that. My personal view is Pally’s get no part of the city. They are lucky not to be absorbed by Jordan.
As Israeli Justice Minister Shaked says Trump is wasting time on Pally negotiations its never going anywhere.
After them lying and doing nothing for 20 years Pally’s have lost all capital and cred.

That's unexpected. Does this sound like a "beat ya to it, Trump" game?
And they regard East Jerusalem as the capital of “Palestine”.
Shareblue (or as you called it, Shariablue) fronts as a left leaning news site but for purposes of my earlier comment it has taken over the task of Correct the Record.
Correct the Record was an outfit paid, iirc, through the Clinton Foundation, that hired professional online trolls and leftist shills that would spam any and all social media with comments favorable to whatever talking points were decided.
Shareblue now continues that effort.
Some play the ‘concern troll’ aka “the concerned conservative” as cover for their leftist narrative pushing. Some just spam the same “on message” comments as often as they can manage on as wide a variety of forums, twitter accounts, facebook pages, etc.
Seriously, moving the US embassy to Jerusalem is a huge and expensive, high security operation. In much of the world, US embassies are fortresses, and this would be double the normal security.
The site being considered was formerly the location of the Allenby Barracks, the site of the British armys Jerusalem garrison during the Mandate. The plot is 31,250 square meters (7.7 acres).
First you need land for the embassy, its parking garage and its grounds. Not easy when most of the land is already taken. Then I’m guessing 4-6 floors underground for all the vaults, secure areas, air and water and sewage filtration.
The building itself will probably be three or four stories tall, with high impact windows and able to take lots of hits from rockets and mortars It will have to be electronically safe as well.
The US embassy in Baghdad, the largest of ours in the world, and cost $750m. It was probably a lot easier and cheaper to build than one in Jerusalem will be.
Several other governments will be willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for all sorts of espionage operations against the embassy.
Thanks so much for the info. Someone told me about Sharia Blue and I thought that was its actual name instead of a witty derivation of it. I am getting concerned about the concern trolls, lol, who are all over FR for the past 3 days. They are vicious!
The Russian Foreign Ministrys statement reads:Why was this paragraph not quoted? This includes what the Palestinians want, as another stepping stone towards Israels conquest by them.We reaffirm our commitment to the UN-approved principles for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement, which include the status of east Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state. At the same time, we must state that in this context we view west Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
You do realize that Russia now officially regards the Old City as all “Palestinian” according to this declaration, I presume.
Not good.
Israel remains a plaything for those outside of it.
On top of that, recognizing “UN-approved principles” includes validating Resolution 2334, which undermines (and outright attacks) the Oslo Accords and declares Israel cannot build “settlements” on its own land.
Congratulations you just won dumbest comment on FR in last decade award!
> Might have something to do with images of lil kid’s lifeless bodies being flopped around after that evil SOB Assad gassed them. Good heavens man.
Notice those kids “father” looked nothing like them? This is an Al-Qaeda held town and using dead and dying children for props would just be an average morning for those genocidal terrorist nut cases. How did go from fighting Al-Qaeda for murdering 3,000 Americans to supporting and trusting their propaganda in Syria? It’s madness.
> Ya know Marv...many of the six million Jews the Nazi’s murdered might still be alive if the U.S. would have acted sooner.
The Syrian rebels practice genocide. I’ve watched more a few videos from earlier in the war where a rebel group would put a road block on a major highway and pull out and execute any driver or passenger who wasn’t a Sunni Muslim. Just pull them behind a truck and gun them down. They did it while laughing and having a good time. I don’t know what things where like in a Nazi death camps but man those rebels would have fit in pretty well as the guards in one.
And how clueless are you?
I know a Democrat in rino clothing when I see one...your here to divide us right... to stop President Trump and MAGA...on to you and your leftie tactics.
