We didn't threaten the " Whole World ", Drama much? Let them laugh. They will stop when the gravy train no longer shows up. It is high time we quit bribing other countries and attempting to buy their support anyway and then they continue to stab us in the back. I think we do need to revisit the constant handouts to every Tom, Dick and Harry in the world. Cut it off.

Lighten up? I mean it was an obvious threat. (That was the whole point) As for cutting off aid, we aren’t going to do that. That’s the point, they know our threats are empty. This just makes us look weak and reckless.It’s based on a stupid idea anyway that just because we give a country aid related to one issue that they should do whatever we say on everything.

The world already considers our current leadership to be a joke, why confirm it?

They were just too chicken shit to make a decision.

Please. It's certainly no endorsement of Trump or Israeli actions. They knew the outcome of the vote in advance, as did everybody. It shows a strong lack of trust in what Trump is doing.

And then what happens huh?

The UN just ends and everyone comes crying to us and begging us to come back?

" Oh USA, Oh Trump! How can we ever live without you? Please, whatever you want, we just need you as our friend."

More likely, as we are seeing with the TPP and Paris Accord...

" Well, F 'em. They are being real assholes and we're tired of their shit... Hey new guy China! What shiny gold you have. You are so powerful, so generous. Why yes, we do want to be your friend.... our last friend got soooo boring....

What? You want the South China Sea? You really shouldn't... but.. Ah, what's a little ol puddle between buddies! See, friends share."

Maybe we should reconsider. Aid is such a broad term.

No it doesn't. It shows a chickenshit attitude and riding the fence.

While I disagree it doesn’t change the fact that Trump made a dumb threat everyone knew he wouldn’t follow through on.

Now everyone laughs at us because our president is stupid. It sucks for us all.

So what? It just reflects the varying amount of leverage Trump has in being able to strong arm our friends & partners. They're all telling us the same thing- that this is a very bad idea.

"Hey, Justin! Nice little trade deal you got goin'. Too bad if something were to happen to it..."

We don't need anyone else to provide might and expertise, we can do it ourselves. What's with the cutesy-pie gangsta stuff, seriously cute.
