As a former US Delegate to the UN, I saw firsthand how American leadership shapes the world. Now, as we fire our diplomats and slash our diplomatic presence, I see who is celebrating: Beijing and Moscow. Trump's policy is a gift to our strategic rivals.

It should be becoming clear to people that we are living through a coup, the plotters told us what they'd do and they were clear that they didn't intend for the U.S. as we know it to continue to exist. They're replacing it with a completely different system as quickly as possible, with SCOTUS help

Let’s be honest. Nobody takes Moscow seriously. Nobody takes Moscow seriously so bad that not even North Korea takes Moscow seriously.

Our former Defense Secretary (who quit in protest) "Mad Dog" Mattis once (paraphrase) said, "If you withhold funding from diplomacy? You'd better allocate it to bullets."

These firings are so harmful to everyone, especially the diplomats. America is being destroyed from within by a convict and his goons.

Trump’s isolationist ideology, from his tariff policies to his bullying rhetoric, his gutting of USAID and appointment of unqualified ambassadors, followed now by the firing of diplomats, is setting this country up for disaster, both economically and politically. We need allies, not enemies.

Wish they would fire their diplomat to Canada.

That’s the goal of the current administration and those pulling the strings behind the scenes—to destroy the US domestically and internationally. Pure evil.

Because the Orange Buffoon is still bitter about 2020, he is systematically destroying the country as revenge. He could be stopped in an instant if the Rethuglicans had spines.

As it is intended to be. Did you see that Russia has taken up giving some of the aid that USAID used to provide? I'm pretty sure that wasn't an accident. Everything tRump does benefits our enemies.

What are spineless Dem politicians doing to stop Trump's atrocities? They refer to Republicans as "Our colleagues across the aisle", is how. Dems are complicit in the fall of democracy.

How can this be? Will travelers be advised about safety when traveling to foreign countries? Will people be aware of opportunities overseas? A travesty
