And, how to have a US regime change to get these radical extremists OUT. We do know that Russia has been feeding it globally.

for the purpose of weakening and eventually destroying their governmentes, and no surprise their big successes are consistently among conservative factions whose ideology is fairly similar to his.

At the very least it will be a distraction from Russia and Stormy and Mueller. So much for the moron running for office with the slogan "get out of the middle East trap". He is doing the opposite...I wonder how his base will feel about him becoming a hawk when they wanted a dove.

I immediately thought of the "shoe" incident the other day. Maybe I need a tin foil hat, but could it be part of a dissolution of old alliances and formation (or strengthening) of new ones. It's like consolidation of RW nut job "allies". The same goes for Kushner in Saudi Arabia giving intel on princes to the new RW madman. I'm seeing patterns develop. I hope I'm wrong.

as well as the Arabs but remember how the moron told secrets about Israel's plans with the Russians when they went to the W House after bragged about firing Comey Why is Russia interested in this? The whole thing is nefarious.

I don't understand the comment in general.
"Likud isn't Israel." What does this mean?

Netanyahu is the chairperson.

A bit like the Tea Party in relation to Trump.

Ours are perfectly willing to sacrifice national security, and almost anything else, in their attempts to look strong.

That's their weakness.
