CONFIRMED: Israel threatened to expel the US Ambassador if President Biden didn't change the name of the Israeli ambassador back. Two thoughts: a) Biden's team made this change within an hour of taking control, b) Israel forced a retraction within two hours. Crazy.
It shows the new manager is prone to stupid, ill-conceived decisions. He might also be spineless, or he might be so stupid that he didn't just think this was a good idea, he couldn't conceive of the possibility that it was a bad idea until it was spelled out to him.
He violated USMCA by cancelling Keystone XL. Trudeau's an energy hating pussy so he's rolling over, but if we had a PM who cared about Canada it would be one.

Sounds about right. I'm not on-board with the "Islamaphobia" angle that leftists push, but US politics is too entwined with Israel on all sides.
Wish all this US foreign interventionism - military or humanitarian funding - to Israel, Pakistan, etc. would fuck off.

That was quick but still not surprising.
We all know who is the most powerful.
