(59,678 posts)The President sets policy. I doubt either HRC or Kerry, who is more of a negotiator and was more involved in diplomacy on this, would work for Trump.
What would make sense is any non political SD person who worked on Syria if any are still on the department. The question would be who that person would work for.
It might be any diplomacy will have to be led by France. The UK has Boris Johnson as their foreign minister.

(18,488 posts)after Barbarossa. Certainly after Dec. of 41. No real diplomacy necessary after that.

(28,270 posts)This shit is outrageous! The f**king republicans have disavowed and broken all their oaths to protect and defend this country letting Trump do shit like this!
They are truly a party of traitors!

(37,648 posts)He most of the Republicans paid off or scared sh*tless of him. Just like a mob boss.
However, Russia will be p*ssed off about the bombing. Is it possible he'll cut Trump loose for doing that? Probably not...we bombed Syria's govt last year for the same thing. Putin & Trump were still bffs after that. Don't know why.

(10,516 posts)Ok. Trump also sent Pence, an asshole but also the Vice President of the U.S., which is at least a bit better diplomatically than just sending your vacuous kid.

(212,676 posts)And these positions have never been filled, as well as essential jobs in the State Department. Previous presidents have these,jobs filled on taking office. The "government" we have now is now functioning on the whim of Trump - who knows nothing about either government or history.
