Blaming Biden worked while running for election but now that he's president, it is his war to worry about settling.

Why?

Why?

part of the upcoming plan to Slash the State Dept DOGE Style and starting firing people like all the other Departments. This has been proposed to Marco Rubio to close those locations over seas and to cut the staff ...but the amount of workers to fire hasn't been seen yet.

This info about the Embassies was learned via an Internal State Dept Memo being sent to CNN

That's a safety thing for Americans in the region, and especially for US diplomatic relations. So stupid

the idea is they close those because they are neighbored by another country that also has embassies and didn't think 2 countries that border each other need to both have their own embassies in those region.

Right. Because, as an American citizen in trouble in a foreign country, you will be able to say, “Excuse me, I’m sorry, but my consulate happens to be next door. I will need you to release me so I can cross the border into the neighboring country. Thank you.”

How about closing many of the U. S. military bases in foreign countries? There are so ridiculous many of them it's hard to figure an accurate number but there could be as many as 800 of them. Other countries, such as Russia and China have no where near that many. They could probably be counted on one or two hands at the most.

US ready to abandon Ukraine peace deal if there is no progress, says Marco Rubio

Secretary of state threatens to pull plug ‘within days’, as Kyiv says it has signed mineral deal memorandum

www.theguardian.com

Thought this war was gonna be over months ago based on how Trump was talking on the campaign trail. Now they are just gonna give up.

How are they going to spin this into a win for themselves? I'm guessing they'll blame Ukraine
