“The Trump administration is barring Iran’s top diplomat from entering the United States this week to address the United Nations Security Council about the U.S. assassination of Iran’s top military official in Baghdad, violating the terms of a 1947 headquarters agreement requiring Washington to permit foreign officials into the country to conduct U.N. business,” Foreign Policy reports.

It doesn't take much brain power to tear down a building. Trump thinks he is discouvering new ways to wield power. He's just stooping the system from working. Which is what Putin wants.

They have gone off the rails. The bad part is that they don't realize we aren't buying anything they are selling anymore, no benefit of the doubt about anything.
