In the past, it was only South American countries,
where US ambassadors behaved as if they (or the CIA resident) owned the place.
Under Trump the Chutzpeh of American ambassadors has
spilled over to Europe and the new ambassador to Germany, a certain Richard
Grenell, has two days ago, tweeted “German companies doing business in Iran should
wind down operations immediately.” For this he will probably get recognition
from his boss. Germany, however, should cold-shoulder him until he apologises
for this outrageous communication. Who the hell does he think he is?
No
such outrages from David Friedman, the US ambassador to Israel, who is an
orthodox Jew espousing views that are more right-wing than those of most Israelis.
Friedman’s connection to the Trump regime is having represented Trump in one of
his bankruptcies. He also boasts having chaired a charity that gave money to a Jewish
terrorist group. It all fits.
