Good.

Let'em know that we wont hand out money to people that openly defy our policies. What sane person would?
These countries are about to learn a hard truth. Not dealing with Barry anymore. The savings can help pay off that 1.5T everyone is so upset about. Win/win.
I love the lack of self-awareness in Bolivia's statement. "The US better not tell us what to do while we're telling Israel what to do, or else!"

They do take us for granted, it's past time they learn not to.
Oh, yes, let's alienate the world even further over a nation founded by terrorists through the sympathy of a US government that felt guilty about WWII. Good move.

There is a difference between commanding respect and giving someone the finger. Our last two presidents don't get that.

Soooo, you are fine with pumping billions of dollars subsidizing these nations who have zero respect for US policy in the name of not alienating an assumed watchful eye on terrorism, but aren't cool with pumping 1.5T into our own economy?

To Hell with the rest of the world.
I'm OK with saying "you're either with us or" *gives the finger*

The Jews may have been the terrorists 70 years ago. It's the Palestinians who are terrorists now. 

So what you are saying is that the US should continue sending money and other aid to countries that support the terrorist position? We should let the terrorists dictate US foreign policy, and just sit back and send them more money?

Fortunately, Trump's new policy of withholding aid to hostile nations doesn't just apply to the US embassy location. It applies to every hostile action by a foreign country against the US. This should have always been the US position. Foreign governments have no claim to our generosity, they need to earn it.

It's really neither who are the terrorists.  It's the Zionists who are the terrorists.

I'd rather we stop pumping money into other nations entirely. Cut foreign aid by 75% and pump that $37.5B in "new" funds back into the economy. Give the remaining 25% to countries that need it, not puppets.

For bonus points, slash military spending because we'd already dismember any other nation that attacked us, stop with the asinine wall that won't work and build an economic wall backed by the criminal justice system instead.

I do specifically oppose any form of aid to Israel, because that country's existence is a big part of our problem over there. I more broadly oppose overseas expenditures and involvement in foreign wars when we have enough problems of our own to figure out.

The Arabs dont have the capability either technologically or at a physical level to do anything to Israel.

Israelis really are tougher, stronger, better in every feasible way than their neighbors. It's not even close.

They lose everytime they try to fight Israel. They will continue to lose with our help or without.. but without our help Israel would just nuke them all.
Welp, lets see what happens next...

Isn't that due to US help?
Why won't those damn Jews just get in the ovens already?

Israel has 80 nuclear weapons. They'd turn the Fertile Crescent into the surface of the sun long before anything like that happened.

It’s easy to sit back and enjoy the peace created by the US military while simaltaneously complaining about their existence.

It's also easy to fundamentally disagree with a large foreign aggressor taking over land and using its power to terrorise who ever it pleases, well at least it should be.

As stupid as some of these wars have been, America is not a terrorist nation. Your country seems to be fine with what they do. I mean, they do sit comfortably behind them, afterall.
