To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

USA recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel

I need to read up more on this personally, I know Jerusalem and the Temple Mount has huge religious implications for the Christians, Jews and Islam. This is why so much war has been fought over this area. With USA coming out and supporting Israel's claim of Jerusalem has caused a rising of tensions in the region and I am wondering if it is on purpose?

What do you think?

My guess is it's quite deliberate - possibly to piss Iran (and others) off.
I won't get into the POTUS - but you've got a problem over there, D1.

Heh, Pres. Trump was definitely the lesser of two evils. He is a little hot headed at times, but I think he does have the usa in his best interests. That's why I was wondering why this move with Israel knowing this was going to cause some issues in the middle east.

Israel definitely has the more superior force in that area. But with Russia getting pulled into this issue I will be interesting where they will side?
