Consequences

MSNBC: The consequences of a Trump-era ‘pause’ in American leadership By Steve Benen
Secretary of State Rex W.

Such a move could infuriate the Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem to be their capital in a future Palestinian state.

This kind of act is typical of the increasingly desperate and unhinged Donald Trumpf. It's only going to get worse as we go forward and we all know it.

Yes we do know it. There's no happy ending here to say the least. All the wrong mechanics are in place for global survival.
