Israel - the one ally Trump could count on, got goose bumps, following the US President's recent shifts on Syria. The sense was echoed by the often critical to Trump Washington Post, writing that the latest US President's decision to cut assistance to anti-Assad forces has provided Russia with final confirmation that it owns Syria.
One of the leading Israeli dailies - The Haaretz - published an article titles "Trump is handing over Syria to the Russia and Iran.
This is a major development and might be considered a potential personal repudiation to Trump. He is becoming simply too unpredictable.
It is not so much about the specific move on Syria, as hundreds of American taxpayers'millions of dollars went down the drain.
Trump opened too many fronts - antagonized the intelligence community, antagonized key US allies.
The Russia dossier is blocking him from engaging into anything of substance. He needs to deliver the promised change to his voters. For a time excuses will make up for the lack of progress - unfriendly Washington, the establishment against a maverick. Yet people will judge him on the deliverables.
The latest piece of legislation - S.722 - sanction on Iran and Russia, after the House returned a finetuned and ammended version, signals that the US political establishment does not trust him to lead America and NATO in containing Russia.
If the US top army brass considers Russia as the biggest threat America faces today, and the President is not trusted to lead his nation in this most important battle, how long it will be before the country deems him unfit for the job?

То е дълбоко осъзнат принцип, формиран след векове на исторически опит, който доказва, че когато църквата и държавата се смесват, и двете страдат – първата губи своята духовна чистота, а втората – своята институционална стабилност. Въпреки това, периодично се чуват призиви за въвеждане на задължително религиозно обучение в българските училища, често облечени в реторика за „укрепване на традиционните ценности“ или „възраждане на националната идентичност“. Но тези предложения крият сериозни рискове – не само за личната свобода, но и за самата вяра и все още крехката ни демокрация. Вярата като тайнство, а не учебен предмет Вярата в Бог, както и всяко истинско духовно търсене, не може да бъде сведена до набор от правила, текстове или формули. Тя не е като математика или история, които могат да бъдат преподавани като факти и дати. Вярата е тайнство – интимен процес, ко...
