      Likely, either apply diplomatic pressure to the saudis and get them to stop doing these things to migrants or restrict what weapons they can purchase. Or other diplomatic consequences.

          The United States is a net oil exporter. What we want to do is keep them from getting nuclear weapons so that when their economy collapsed, terrorist groups don’t get H-bombs

    has it always been “name of president administration” in headlines rather than US government? or is this just a recent trend? or is there a difference between the two?

      It’s always been that way. Some government officials are unelected and therefore not attached to any administration, this is called the “deep state”. But generally administration and government are used interchangeably.

    He knows the answer to this already. I suppose we must go through the motions to pretend it matters to us, though.
