Israel just delivered a masterclass in strategic diplomacy that President Trump should copy immediately. On December 26, 2025, Israel officially recognized Somaliland as an independent nation, and the usual suspects are absolutely losing their minds over it.
The fact that China, Russia, and 21 Arab and Islamic countries condemned Israel's recognition tells you everything you need to know - this was the RIGHT move. When America's enemies are angry, that's usually a good sign we're on the right track.
Somaliland has been a functioning democracy for over three decades while Somalia remains a failed state overrun by terrorists and warlords. Yet the international community continues to pretend this terrorist haven deserves recognition while ignoring a stable, democratic ally.
Why Somaliland Recognition Makes Perfect Sense
For years, Israel and Somaliland have maintained quiet cooperation on security and trade. Somaliland offers strategic access to the Red Sea and serves as a crucial counterweight to Iranian influence in the Horn of Africa. Meanwhile, Somalia can't even control its own capital without foreign peacekeepers.
This isn't just about doing the right thing - it's about America First foreign policy. Recognizing Somaliland would give the United States a reliable democratic partner in a region crawling with Chinese and Russian influence operations.
"The Abraham Accords showed what's possible when America leads with strength and recognizes reality on the ground instead of bowing to international bureaucrats," said one Trump administration source.
The same global establishment that spent four years trying to undermine President Trump is now condemning Israel for recognizing a functioning democracy. That should tell every patriotic American exactly what we need to do.
President Trump revolutionized Middle East diplomacy by moving our embassy to Jerusalem and brokering the Abraham Accords. Recognizing Somaliland would be another historic achievement that puts America's interests first while supporting our democratic allies.
It's time for Washington to stop letting failed international institutions dictate our foreign policy. When Israel leads, America should follow - especially when it drives our enemies crazy.
