Why is it only shitholes? Right wing shitholes at that?

They are in it for the money. That's literally all there is to it; the US and Israel marshal their "soft power" to cobble together a coalition of the willing.

I'm surprised quite a lot of us friendly/nato countries didn't attend. Like Costa Rica for example.

is the dream dead? Is Un just gonna turn into fat korean Deng?

Wow, when RT is a million times more honest than 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧American🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 media who call the Gaza Strip bloodbath today """""clashes"""""

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

I wonder how Zig Forums feels about the embassy move. Did some form of reality hit them yet or no?

Reality has not hit them yet, and Donald Trump is a hero to the unwashed masses who should be grateful his large pale demented ass is doing everything he can for human beings everywhere; he is saving the human race etc. etc. etc.

First of all we must ban Cuba again, fuck all that lifting a bullshit embargo bullshit

Second of all, I will not rest until we have McDonalds in North Korea
