I would like to see a list of these offices’ appellations. I bet they make for an amusing read. “Center for Amazonian Tribal Democracy” “African Ethnic Reconciliation and Boundary Council” “Southeast Asian Gender Equity Office”

I bet the real names are even more nonsensical.

Rubio’s effort looks to right size a department that has tripled in size over the last 25 years.

Hey, it takes a lot of staff to meddle everywhere on behalf of the World Ruling Class.

“Before Rubio’s time in Foggy Bottom, the State Department had nearly 750 offices”

Holy crap!! SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY “offices.”

They should shutter 650 at least.

In fairness, rubio was confirmed practically at the beginning whereas FBI has a month at most.

Rubio isn’t promoting scumbags who called J6ers and parents at school meetings, terrorists.

Believe it or not, 40 years ago The State Department had some people who believed in borders, and could explain why borders were necessary.

Sec. Rubio is in an experience for performing MAGA. He’s in position as a change maker both at home and abroad.

VP Vance is in position to inform and critique abroad, and to speak America First at home.

These two, together on a ticket make a powerful duo. (If we don’t agree to blow ourselves up, first.)

My slight concern is Rubio steeped in keeping Russia billed as communist USSR.

As if JFK did not react in identical
fashion as Russia, in our own Cuba Missile Crisis, within a single deadly issue, and absent the ancillary and equally deadly other threat-risks.

We answered the threat that was confined to a comparatively tiny geopolitical neighborhood. Not so for Russia.

Warhawks are beginning to hawk their wares.😬
