. So officially recognizing West Jerusalem makes Iran like Russia more? How? That makes zero sense.

Because Iran like every other arab/muslim country hates the ever living hell out of Israel.
Of course Russia is going to be for something that benefits them.

Well it makes sense that Putin would go against the West. What doesn't make sense is Trump doing this. I read in the paper this morning that this was denounced by Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Not to mention Palestine and other Arab nations.

Russia supporting Israel by recognizing it's Capital is somehow anti-Western?
You guys make my head hurt.

Agreed. If anything, it says Putin, at least in this issue, supports the U.S. position over Iran's. That is a positive on many levels, methinks.

Unless there's an alternate reality where Dec 2017 comes before Apr 2017 it's Trump following Putin's lead against the policy of most western nations and US precedent. That should give one pause for thought.

Hey, that was intrepid, not me. He's 'packaging' the EU and TPTB with the U.S. by saying the 'west'. Not the case by any stretch. On Israel, that's been the case-outside of Obama- for decades.
They want your head to hurt.....

This was already posted yesterday, but I must say too, I am likely the only one in the World who could honestly care less about some geographical point on a map being recognized as someones capital. I wish I had the lives most people do that must have so much free time and lack of responsibility that they are able to make such an issue the priority cause of concern for the time being.
