The US foreign policy establishment has created tension in several regions of the world due to aggressive pro-interventionist actions and rhetoric. Journalist & Author Daniel Lazare joins today's episode of 'Fault Lines' to discuss how the ruling class tends to operate in a war mongering manner, the stability of various governments in the Middle East, the current anti-Trump political strategy of many Democrats, and the glaring holes in the Mueller Report.
