So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.

Trump’s war in Iran makes future U.S. diplomacy far more difficult, not less The next time White House officials invite a foe to the negotiating table, why would anyone trust them to work in good faith?

Trump’s pre-election vows about foreign policy restraint appear increasingly ridiculous If you voted for the Republican ticket because you expected restraint on foreign policy and the use of military force, I have some bad news for you.
