Times of Israel: Netanyahu: US acting against Iran economically, Israel operating militarily
PM says Trump’s ‘courageous’ decision to renew US sanctions on Tehran complements IDF actions in the region
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday painted a picture of close Israeli-American cooperation in efforts to stymie Iran’s nuclear and regional ambitions, saying US President Donald Trump “is acting against Iran at the economic level and we here in Israel are acting against Iran at the military level.”
In an address to IDF cadets at Bar Ilan University, Netanyahu said he had “insisted” the US re-impose sanctions on Iran following Washington’s exit from the international nuclear accord last year, and that the US president “indeed made the courageous decision to renew them.”

Middle Eastern press way back on Dec 22 mentioned that Trumps withdrawal from Syria had been coordinated with Israel and Egypt and Saudi Arabia to name three.
In fact as far as Israel is concerned I'd image getting the US ground troops out of Syria opens up more targets for Israel. Having US troops in Iraq, where the national govt approves of their presence, removes them from any Israel-Iranian festivities inside Syria.
Not so...Israel caught offguard
Trump had signaled months ago his preference for a prompt declaration of victory over ISIS and the return of U.S. troops from Syria. But persuaded by his national-security team, including Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and the special representative for Syria engagement, James Jeffrey, he reversed course. Netanyahu also called for maintaining the U.S. deployment. The presence of U.S. forces meant that Israel did not feel left to manage the threat entirely on its own, or appear to others to be doing so, even as it conducts its ongoing campaign of air strikes in Syria against Iranian military entrenchment.
read the Israeli press and it is clear that that nation surprised by this move, whether you approve or not of the move...Bibi trying to make things look good.

"The Government Shutdown Will Cost More Than Trump’s $5 Billion Border Wall Funding, According to Experts"
Since shutting the 25% government will cost X, we should always allow the Democrats to win a game of chicken.
God Forbid that
A) People coming to America go through the front door
B) We have a say on how many people emigrate here
C) We know their health condition or criminal record
You have to be a real dumbass to want to forbid A, B, & C.
1020 AM, Nancy Pelosi, and the Democrats are that dumb.
