Today, Donald Trump has just appointed the two greatest adversaries of Iran that he could find as US defense chief and a new US ambassador to Israel – James Mattis and David Friedman – two individuals who probably agree with both Israel’s and Saudi Arabia’s views that Iran is a threat that has to be dealt with. But the new threat is no longer a military one, but an economic one, presenting an entirely new quandary for Washington, which can’t quite wrestle with the idea that Iran is a country with a modern, reformist group of people who clash with the old, conservative hardliners, unlike Saudi Arabia, which doesn’t show too many signs of ever allowing reform to come from its citizens, rather than a drip feed token model that is spurned by its elite. Iran is progressing. And that is a new problem in itself. And it’s all Obama’s fault.
Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo welcomed US troops to her country at a formal ceremony Saturday, saying it was a “great day” that would help ensure Poland’s security.
Some 4,000 US soldiers have been deployed as part of troop rotations to Europe that the Pentagon has said are intended to bolster ties with NATO allies and send a clear message to Russia.
Russia has criticized the continuous deployments as a threat to Russian security.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussed the Middle East with Pope Francis on Saturday and said prospects for peace there will suffer if U.S. president-elect Donald Trump moves Washington’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
“We are waiting to see if it happens. If it does, it will not help peace and we hope it does not happen,” Abbas told reporters outside the Vatican gates minutes after 25 minutes of talks with the pope.
Abbas, who spoke through an interpreter, stopped in Rome to open the new embassy of the State of Palestine to the Vatican.
Trump’s promise to relocate the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would upend decades of U.S. policy. Israel and the Palestinians, who are seeking a state of their own, both claim Jerusalem as their capital. Successive U.S. administrations have said the city’s status must be negotiated.

A new battery of S-400 long-range surface-to-air missiles has been fully deployed in Russia’s Crimea after five months of training, the Russian military announced on Friday.
President-elect Donald Trump’s secretary of state nominee, Rex Tillerson, made waves internationally on Thursday by suggesting that the US should “send China a clear signal that, first, the island-building stops, and second, your access to those islands also is not going to be allowed.”
Suggesting China stop its building of artificial islands and militarizing them doesn’t sharply break with the policy of President Barack Obama’s administration, but suggesting a blockade — or forcefully stopping China from sailing to its land features in the South China Sea — does.
China’s response, at first muted, has come back strong, with Chinese media saying that “unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the islands will be foolish.”
The billionaire’s election victory has highlighted the prospect he could order the US to pull out of a nuclear pact which Barack Obama signed in 2015.
Trump was very critical of the agreement which allowed Iran to have sanctions lifted on its oil and industry finance in return for the country having its nuclear program limited.
In September last year, Trump said: “Any commander-in-chief worthy of defending this nation should be prepared to stand up on 20 January 2017 (inauguration day) and rip to shreds this catastrophic deal.”
“Considering Trump’s character and that he measures the cost of everything in dollars, it does not seem likely that he would take strong action against our country.
“Enemies may want to impose a war on us based on false calculations and only taking into consideration their material capabilities…
“Such a war would mean the destruction of the Zionist regime (Israel) … and will engulf the whole region and could lead to a world war.”
Bible Prophecy predicts Babylon the Great (America) Being destroyed in one hour by Russia & Iran in world war 3. Donald Trump will be the last president of the united states before the return of Jesus Christ so save the scattered 12 tribes of Israelites and saved Gentiles from destruction.
