Wow, you mean foreign interests lobby the US Government, I'm so surprised, I was unaware of that! /friendly sarcasm/

Saying that 'Congress is Subservient to a Foreign Power' is completely different than saying 'A Foreign Power has influence in Congress'.

The US gives billions to Egypt and Saudi Arabia in aid, military equipment, and literally by contract guarantees the Sovereignty and power of the House of Saud - so conspiratorial statements that make this about 'one side' or that anyone 'controls congress' are damaging and false.

"Saying that 'Congress is Subservient to a Foreign Power' is completely different than saying 'A Foreign Power has influence in Congress'."

I'm well aware of that.
