This is rather rich for me to take.  So many folks are trying to paint an image of Trump to grow fears that he will somehow blow the middle east up.   Anybody looked of late at the sitting president and his secretaries of state and how THEIR actions are playing out?  For all the fears of Trump, Mr. Obama (conveniently while he was off vacationing in Hawaii and over the Christmas holidays), managed to reverse a longstanding US policy of supporting Israel at the UN.   I am honestly torn on the action itself, as I think the settlements have been a rather poor strategy by Israel.  But at the same time, the sitting president's choice to do this with only weeks left in his administration, just pretty much confirms that he's leaving the mideast in a much bigger mess than when he arrived.

I understand that arguments are heated on both sides. I'm not at all convinced our new ambassador will mess things up any worse than has our outgoing president and his secretaries of state/ambassadors...
