The US State Department is a nest of employees who have a certain fixed mindset. They have the mindset of previous times and administrations, and they believe very firmly what they believe.

They also believe that, because they are the State Department officials, that their own firm beliefs ARE US policy, that US policy, and US interests, are determined by what they, the State Department professionals, believe to be best for America.

But this is not so.

American policy is determined by what the American PEOPLE decided is best for America. And the American people can change their minds and overrule 100 years of tradition, if they want to. They do so through elections.

Donald Trump ran on making peace with Russia, opening lines of good relations, and allying with Russia to crush ISIS. He was elected by the people on that platform.

THEREFORE, peace and friendship with Russia are NOW American interests, and maintaining the Cold War and cold relations with Russia are NOT American interests, and are CONTRARY to American interests.

The professionals in the State Department do not agree, but they are functionaries whose purpose is to execute policy, not to act as a control over policy.

The State Department has been actively, and passively, attempting to override the foreign policy of the United States, which is to seek peace and friendship with Russia, and to seek military alliance with Russia against ISIS. That's what the people voted for, and what the President was elected to do.

If the State Department personnel decide that they are going to resist the will of the people and the elected President because they don't agree, then they need to be put out of their jobs, and their agency needs to be chopped down and brought into line.

The PRESIDENT decides what American interests are. Functionaries in the government EXECUTE policy, but they do not MAKE it. State Department functionaries do not like the new US policy, so they are seeking to derail it. The whole institution is fighting the will of the People and the President. Therefore, the State Department needs to be chopped down, its people fired, its influence and importance stripped, until those who remain understand that their purpose is to EXECUTE policy, NOT TO MAKE IT.

They are arrogant and do not understand that. And they are resisting. Therefore, they must be destroyed. Politics trumps professional beliefs, because the PURPOSE of the State Department is to execute the foreign politics of the President, not their own will. They have no right to have their own will and sit in those jobs. Because they don't believe that, the whole Department has to be decapitated. That's the way it is.
