I find this quite ironic.
First, it has not been confirmed exactly what Trump said, or if he said it by accident or intentionally. Stating the location of a threat is different then revealing the sources. (Anyway, I do not think he would intentionally give up classified info; more then likely whatever he said was an off the cuff remark. Of course the outcome does not change, but the intent does, which can be all the difference. Just ask Hillary.)
Second, Israel is an ally, but judging by John Kerry's speech prior to Obama leaving office, you would not think so. It seems Israel gets the ability to use us as a large stick against the rest of the middle so it can do whatever it wants, like running a government of oppression of the Palestinian people (they can't vote, they can't move freely, some are not allowed to leave) and continuing to break up their land, making it geographically impossible for a two state solution to happen now.
What do we get out of this relationship?
Sure, Russia is not an ally, but they are not a enemy either, especially judging by Obama's 2012 campaign. "The 1980s want their foreign policy back." Why do we all of a sudden think it is not a good thing to improve relations with Russia? Is it a political farce?
The G-7 comment reeks of arrogance.
Last, the Pope is not an elected official and holds no real power, and, as an atheist, I hope it stays that way. Furthermore, Pope Francis, aside from climate change, is more conservative then liberal.
