This latest Trump move is billed as Trump fulfilling a campaign promise. It is assumed that means a promise to his core voters, but at the same time there is hardly anything that could make Mr. Putin happier, short of the Congress officially lifting the sanctions, than the U.S. officially recognizing Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel by relocating its embassy. One has to wonder if moving the embassy wasn't included in the package that included ripping up the sanctions. It certainly is precisely what Putin would hope for, as it serves to drive a wedge between the U.S. and its traditional allies, bigly!
Trump of course is too poorly educated in international affairs to figure this out, or have thought to do this, on his own. He would have had help. Before his election it is inconceivable that Trump would have, on his own, understood the gravity of a U.S. move in foreign policy like this. In fact it is highly likely he barely knew where Israel was on the map. Someone had to be pulling the strings behind those golden curtains in the Oval Office.
Meantime Trump continues to ignore enforcement of the Sanctions in defiance of Congress, and one wonders if Bannon's (a.k.a. Dr. Goebbels*) pals in the House will be able to protect Trump from Congress' wrath. Although, so far he has gotten away with it, Trump is playing with fire when he ignores Congress. The Fall 2018 elections are looming as critical to the Country's future direction, as they will determine everything if one party or the other emerges in control of both houses. We'll see! The U.S. is at a crossroads! The shit is definitely beginning to hit the fan with the Mueller Investigation and now this latest Putin Ass Kissing on top of it! One wonders, What's Next?
