Well, OK,
but if the State Department is responsible for foreign relations are they not responsible for telling foreign entities who and what they represent?
If not, just which department of the government sitting astride those 50 listed states IS responsible for advising outsiders about America (and not about some vague collection of other states situated in 'the Americas' and including the USA only by inference).
Would a Somali seeking to understand anything about America go to the DOD?
Treasury?
Would they learn about America by noting it's feel good relationships with Belize?
Like altogether too many websites we are invited to visit - this sounds like a PR event for people who believe only in symbolic, costly but pointless, and politically correct points.
Value, none / Viewpoint, someone else's / Expectations, met.
you've missed it.
“this sounds like a PR event for people who believe only in symbolic, costly but pointless, and politically correct points.”
I wish it were just a PR thing, but sadly the slow but steady dissolution of the United States, is indeed perceived as just that.
