Impeachment fact-check: Ukraine still has not received $35,000,000 in congressionally approved military funding that Trump froze as part of his extortion scheme, shredding Trump's claims of "quid pro quo."

Oops
Trumps foreign policy is failing everywhere.
Netanyahu has been trying for decades to bring the Iranian government down.
Trump bought into Netanyahu’s scheme to take down Iran and committed the US to that mission.
Step 1. Abandon Obama’s “horrible” nuclear deal with Iran.
Step 2. Slap draconian sanctions on Iran meant to destroy the Iranian economy.
Step 3. Destroy any possibility of a two-state solution with the Palestinians by giving Israel sole control of Jerusalem, sole control of the Golan Heights, and clear ownership to all stolen Palestinian land that illegal Israeli settlements currently sit on.
NOTE: On Tuesday Pompeo told Netanyahu that the US would say nothing if Israel annexed the entire Jordan River Valley.
Step 4. Sit back and wait for the inevitable backlash to all of these outrages and then react.
Yesterday Trumps reaction came when he announced that an additional 9 to 14 thousand additional US troops would be deploying to the Middle East. So what was Trump and the Pentagon reacting to?
There is unrest in Iran because it’s economy is collapsing thanks to US sanctions. (See Venezuela)
Iran has reacted to it’s internal pressures and the pressure being applied by Israel and the US by aiming thousands of nuclear tipped ballistic missiles at US troops all over the ME.
Trumps reaction to that was to order thousand of additional US troops into harms way. What a fool.
