I would sure hope so.
The state department is very problematic IMO. I get people that disagree with me on that, but I see the State Department as an organization that thinks everything can be handled diplomatically.
Unfortunately, that means we allow things to fester to a place where we have to take military action, and at times in much worse circumstances than we would have had to had we simply faced reality to begin with.
I don’t think the Cold War would ever have ended if the State Department had controlled everything.
In the post WW II era..with all the advances in communications..diplomacy is run out of the WH..ambassadors are like hood ornaments..nice but useless..at lower levels..trade attaches, visas.. etc..State does important, necessary work
