Yet we do, so your assertion is moot.

Didn't Donald Trump campaign on a promise to get the U.S. out of these pointless, expensive foreign entanglements?

When we put pressure on Israel at the behest of Arab states that are not even contiguous with Israel, "bullying the victim" is EXACTLY what we're doing.

That would be a fair point. Can you give an example of this?

Not the way you are "trying" to define them (and don't think I don't see your attempt to conflate Donald Trump's campaigning with Founding Fathers). He explicitly campaigned on exactly this point, so your rather fallacious attempt at "special pleading" seems rather disingenuous.

That would be a fair point. Can you give an example of this?

THE EMBASSY!

Is there any other country where we don't put our embassy in the nation's declared capital? Not putting our embassy there communicates agreement that the capital's status is tentative!

Why are we agreeing to that? It ain't like we couldn't move an embassy if something changes.
