The people currently in charge of the US are the same exact people who are in charge of Israel....that's the problem.  Look at the issues we are dealing with today ...

Russia hasn't annexed the parts of eastern Ukraine (Donetsk) as he did Crimea but the people in the DPR wish he would or that they could be given the ability to vote on it even though Russia hasn't even officially recognized the independence of any of the other of Ukraine's breakaway regions. But they are still using rubles.  The problems between Ukraine and Russia have their genesis in the USA's meddling ...I lived in Russia for two years and follow things there pretty closely. 

Do you really think that it's OK for countries to expand their geographic territory through conquest and butchering the native populations?
