The USA Will be Taking Names! Warning Before UN General Assembly Vote

[Maybach]

Ok so Trump decided to unilaterally recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel

Turkey then put a vote to the UN Security Council, which did not name the USA, stating that unilateral recognition of the change of status of Jerusalem should not be legally binding

14 members of the council voted for and the USA vetoed it

Turkey then decided to take the vote to the UN General Assembly

The USA reaction is in this news item

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-42424666

So the USA has effectively put itself in the position of dictating to the rest of the world how they should vote or they would be taking names

"We will be taking names"

Never realised the UN General Assembly and its representatives were, in fact, school kids with Nikki Haley as the Headmistress!

More deplorable behavior from Dumbass Drumpf and his cast of idiots. The shit show continues.

I fail to see how burning all the bridges and throwing away all our bargaining chips is supposed to help the U.S.

Coming out from isolationism and creating global connections through diplomacy and compromises made it great.

As it stands, the rest of the world can just tell the U.S. to fuck off. No empire stands for long and a new leading power will rise and take the place of a declining U.S.

Can someone explain to me how any single US Resident has any say in what the capital of another country is? We have no ownership, nor authority over Israel.

This confuses the hell out of me.

[Lollis]

You know who else took names and put them on a list???

That's right, the guy who used to ask what we wanted ordering for our lunch.

Great diplomacy though. Don't like what we want and you go in our naughty book. How far the US has fallen, it is run by children.

I guess this is what the sheeple that run around saying Trump will make America great again think is the way to go. I'm just glad that it was Kennedy in office and not someone like Trump during the Cuban Missile crisis.

[ranzino]

the other 14 members should maintain their stance and the general assembly should laugh Nikki out of the plenum. but was it also Tillerson's idea or a direct order from Trump to tell such utter bs ?

[Shinra1]

This is thuggery and totally gang-handed.

The U.S. should kick the U.N. out. And stop with paying for most of it like NATO.

Its because the US is currently being run by the Kremlin...

[Tomyris]

Taking names and then...what?

[Kathandira]

I still don't get it. Does that mean that another country can tell us that Wyoming is recognised as the capital of the U.S.?

I'm very confused over this, and how it has any impact on anything or anyone.

[XDurionX]

Trump can destroy in months what it took others decades to build. No other president has damaged international relations in such a scope.

Lol, the only time in Nato history where it was actually needed, was when your president, asked Nato to help the US out, when they went full aggro on Afghanistan...

[ranzino]

The UN is meaningless and a waste of money.

USA took umbrage, so the Security Council is not so meaningless to them ?

Looks like it was Trump

Permanent representative Nikki Haley warned member states that President Donald Trump had asked her to report on "who voted against us" on Thursday.

The draft resolution does not mention the US, but says any decisions on Jerusalem should be cancelled.

Mr Trump later threatened to cut off financial aid to those who backed it.

"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes," he told reporters at the White House. "Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care."
