The Iran thing is total hypocrisy. Who says who's able to have nukes and not? If Iran nk etc gives up their nukes so should Israel. Not only does Israel have a nuclear weapons program (they got it with help from the French, AQ Khan as well as apartheid South Africa) but flat out refused to have any inspections similar to north Korea and unlike Iran. Germany even basically gave them (as a form of reparations) at least 3 or 4 ballistic subs which can launch nuclear warhead tipped missiles even though they lied to everyone that they never would sell hardware that can launch nukes to foreign states.
The fact is Iran had has more iaea inspections than any other country and was found to be compliant. Same with the Iran deal with Obama - they were found to be compliant as well. This is just AIPAC talking through Trump. Same with the whole syria issue. He only wants assad, who unlike most leaders in the Arab world protects Christians in Syria, to go so that the shiite corridor ceases to exist which Israel wants more than anything right now. Israel even goes so far as to treating injured al nusra and other Sunni radicals in their hospitals as well as working with saudi where children learn to hate Israel in school as children thanks to the books that the education ministry has schools use.

That's old news. Manafort received one of the largest checks ever in the political consulting business from Yanukovich and cronies. That's most likely where the Russia ties began and something he undoubtedly brought up when his firm was hired by trump. This kind of meddling and help from foreign actors to eu and north American politicians happens all the time though. Sarkozy took money from Gaddafi for his reelection only to backstab him later, Obama greatly interfered with Netanyahus campaign and assisted the opposition, Hillary received millions from Morocco, saudis, Muslim brotherhood affiliates as well as other regimes in the Arab world with egregious human rightsuys and plenty of others. Ukraine even helped Hillary as well. After maidan far right ultra nationalist groups basically took over. The Ukrainians allowed it because the far right battalions were able to halt Russia and they believed the nationalists wouldn't be nearly as corrupt as the others and do things to actually help. Obama even gave them aid in the form of hummers, night vision, vests, uniforms, etc as well as lots of money despite the fact that these very far right groups openly wave 3rd Reich flags and draw such symbols on their tanks. Their uniforms even have patches with sun wheels, wolfsangels, etc. Obama and Hillary say they hate racists and nationalists yet they had no qualms about assisting them and getting help from them in return.
@Lyzko
I wouldn't totally agree with that. Many of the Baptist evangelical etc preachers say that its our duty as Christians to help Israel and the Jews.
