This is EXACTLY what happened in Viet Nam. “Bringing the troops home” is not enough to fundamentally disrupt the consciousness that produced whatever war just ended & which inevitably produces the next one. We need a new conversation & a US Dept. of Peace. washingtonpost.com/graphics/…

Yes, it is. But look at the numbers. $760B for Defense, $40B for State. And peacebuilding agencies, diplomatic efforts within State Dept. shriveling. Also, Dept. of Peace includes domestic issues as well. They’re connected.

Totally agree. It’s just a sad state when diplomacy is being so gutted by this president.
