His policies are no different than George H.W. Bush when he stated, "....families of countries..."

Donald Trump's foreign policy speech is no surprise. He has been saying this all along. His interpretation into a government foreign policy is based in his years as a business man.

Basically, he is interested in peace first that promotes USA strength but also invites prosperity with any country willing to be a business ally. He sees America's strength in the world through prosperity of our partners. 

He wants to update our conventional weapons. That is a very big expense. I agree the USA military needs new conventional weapons, but, with such an expense there needs to be additional taxes.

It was a good speech and I am sure the world was listening. The world has been listening the entire time, why stop now. These are his views and the international community should rely on this speech as his legitimate and long lived views.

Mr. Trump along with every other USA leader is going to have to decide about Israel's aggression. I have said for years Israel was never going to stay within it's borders. Guess what?

Indulging Israel's aggressive means of a buffer zone is not Syria's problem. No other country in the region seeks buffer zones with Israel. No different than the Palestinian territories, this land belongs to Syria.

The UN Security Council (click here) has expressed deep concern, dismissing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim earlier this month that the annexed Syrian Golan Heights would “forever” remain under Israel’s control.
Amid fears that Israel could fall under pressure to return the Golan as part of a possible peace settlement in Syria, Netanyahu said earlier that Tel Aviv will never withdraw from the Golan Heights, a strategic area captured from Syria in 1967.
“It is time that the international community recognized reality,” Netanyahu was quoted as saying on April 17. “Whatever happens on the other side of the [Syrian] border, the border itself will not move.”
“And secondly,” Netanyahu added, “the time has come after 40 years for the international community to finally recognize that the Golan Heights will remain under Israeli sovereignty forever.”...

This is aggression by Israel that is nothing more than the same aggression witnessed against Palestine for decades. Israel is also moving into Syria which has enough problems without starting additional conflict over land. Israel must be made to live within it's borders and roll back from the borders that are Palestinian.

The USA should never entertain the idea of defending Israel across borders that challenge the sovereignty of other countries in the region. This level of aggression raises Israel's ambitions for Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Things are looking very bleak for Israel's aggression.

To right is the Sea of Galilee and southern Golan Heights, Jordan. Tourism is as safe with Jordan as it has been with Israel.
