The ultimate "implication". Of course no one will say "No".

And I thought liquidating the State dept would only lead to rounds of consulate closures and embassy "consolidations".

The most absurd thing about his statement is that he thinks 50 billion a year for State and foreign aid combined is "too much money", when that is less than the cost of the increase in Defense spending for this year. I guess it had to come from somewhere, and he's not going to dare fight Mattis for his cut.

It's almost enough for you to want Colin Powell to come back.

That doesn't make it better in any way. At all.

No doubt. That's how I feel. I do think he wanted to quit and now is pouting/breaking things just because he can.

I wonder if he watches Madam Secretary. Probably not, as he does seem to keep busy. Too bad, because I think it might help him understand the importance of the State department more than anything else at this point. Plus they've been doing excellently with targeted strikes at the Trump administration lately...
