I'm addicted to Der Spiegel. It's fascinating. No matter what happens, all it can do is rhe politically correct chicken dance. Article after article anxiously patting good Germans on the head for being calm and stoic until the next slaughter and expending all its fervour attacking those big, bad people on the right - sorry, make that the FAR right, the EXTREME right, who don't want to pretend that the government's failed in its fundamental duty to protect its citizens. Meanwhile, this is what I think Trump should do about Obama's treachery against Israel: Totally unprecedented abuse of power by a lame duck president in the last days of office, secretly, nefariously pretending he didn't initiate it, defying all convention, history, historical relationship with close ally, expectations and wishes of both government representatives and the people, an unexpected, rogue, act that threatens the very nature of democracy. In this unique circumstance, Trump can and should simply declare the resolution null and void as if the US vetoed it as it would have mere days after Obama conjured it up and pushed it through. He should take the position that the UN is a voluntary membership organization and the US never agreed to be bound by the last-minute outrageous trickery of a rogue president. It just won't. As far as he's concerned, the resolution never happened or, if it did, the US vetoed it. It never passed. And if anyone challenges that, any country complains and says "too late, the motion passed and you're stuck with it" Trump should say "No I'm not" and act accordingly. Let's see how many countries actually try to force the US to do otherwise.
