(ABOVE: Donald Trump back when he was advocating America first.) During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump outraged a lot of people by stating that his best advisor on foreign policy was himself. But he had a point. Consider the exchange Trump had in 2015 with a British journalist by the name of Max Foster. In the interview, Foster tried to get Trump to agree that it was the proper role of the United States government to sort out the tiff between Russia and Ukraine. (see video below.) Trump refused to bite. Instead he explained rather patiently that the United States should not be "the policeman of the world." Foster tried to bait Trump into taking a stand on Russia's takeover of Crimea, but Trump was having none of it. "This is Europe's problem much more than ours, yet Europe isn't complaining about it," he said. "Why isn't Europe more involved with this?" Good question. But why doesn't he follow his own advice when it comes to that Iran nuke deal? The Europeans are 3,000 … [Read more...] about On Iran, President Trump should listen to The Donald

Israel claims Iran-nuke deceit
JERUSALEM -- Israel's prime minister on Monday unveiled what he said was a "half ton" of Iranian nuclear documents collected by Israeli intelligence, claiming it proved that Iranian leaders covered up a nuclear weapons program before signing a deal with world powers in 2015. In a speech delivered in English, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the material showed that Iran cannot be trusted, and he encouraged President Donald Trump to withdraw from the deal this month. [PRESIDENT TRUMP: Timeline, appointments, executive orders + guide to actions in first year] Netanyahu dramatically pulled a curtain away from a shelf of files that he said were copies of some of the 55,000 documents that Israel had obtained from Iran's secret nuclear archive.

The Iran deal vs. what? Netanyahu’s impressive display doesn’t answer tough questions about what the U.S. must do now
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented dramatic evidence Monday of how brazenly Iran deceived the world about its early-2000s nuclear weapons program, before the U.S. and its allies inked a deal limiting Tehran’s enrichment activities. Analysts and observers have long had hundreds of parts of a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle suggesting all this. Netanyahu offered the most vivid, high-resolution picture yet, based on 55,000 pages of documents on 183 CDs obtained by Mossad in recent weeks. It was an impressive display, the fruits of a breathtaking intelligence coup. What Netanayhu did not do is explain why old lies that were long suspected, if not known, are relevant to the question of the geostrategic question of the moment: whether the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed to in 2015 is better enforced or scrapped. That agreement had few more strident opponents than this Editorial Page. We loathed leaving Iran within 12 months of breakout capacity. Lamented the … [Read more...] about The Iran deal vs. what?
