It takes time to go through the process, we don't have an emperor or kind who can make demands on other countries regarding policy. In this case, the country in question is receiving considerable support from us due to treaties of the past... which are being blatantly violated by bibi who leads that country and directing the offensive actions.

And that gives us cause to take more decisive action like this.

Nuances many fail to recognize. Negotiations work but incrementalism is the bugaboo of our time.
