Are all those countries that assisted the US in Iraq and Afghanistan also terrorists?


Trump is the one standing up for Israel, Japan, and South Korea. 

As long as America hold all the cards, people will always want to be our ally. You need to get out of the belief that we should do things for others and not Americans.

Our relationship with Israel was fine, before he decided to tick off the rest of the world. We didn't need to recognize Jerusalem as the capital. We already had a very good relationship with Israel. We're their biggest ally in a region of the world where their very existence is challenged. Why rock the boat by making such an unpopular decision with the rest of the world? What good did it do us? It was a power move by Trump. Nothing more. The rest of the world was against it, so he just had to prove he had the power to do it anyway. It sounds like the same kind of thought process as a little North Korean dictator, if you ask me.

Why do we accept Pyongyang as NK's capital? Why do we accept Tehran as Iran's capital?

Because of the hundreds if not thousands of years of history that make it so.

Jerusalem is Israel's capital by that same criteria. Not from a biblical sense (I'm an atheist) but historical fact dictates it.
