I spoke to Senate committees today about the @StateDept’s FY2024 Budget Request. This budget will help us advance the United States’ vision for a world that is free, secure, open & prosperous—and deliver on issues that matter most to the American people. state.gov/fy-2024-intern…

@SecBlinken @StateDept US vision of a free world would be helped by stopping to bully everyone and withdrawing US troops and stopping US wars in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine.

@SecBlinken @StateDept It's hilarious to me watching all these countries break ranks and walk away from US. Perhaps a foreign policy change is in order.

@SecBlinken @StateDept A world that is free, secure & prosperous cannot be attained via costly conflict. If 🇺🇸 had utilised (for its own people) the resources it wasted on foreign conflicts, other major powers would not have been driven to conflict, & the world would have been a much better place now

@SecBlinken @StateDept Is a merger with the DoD on the table? That would save us cost. Or perhaps the DoD is not militaristic enough for you?

@SecBlinken @StateDept Defund the state department-you guys have no idea how to use diplomacy.

@SecBlinken @StateDept Freedom does not equal US dominance. I'm sorry you are so backwardly confused. Your idea of "freedom" is chains of "bondage" of US hegemony. Control is the opposite of freedom.

@SecBlinken @StateDept If 4 million Americans who gained emancipation had been given 40 acres, at $10 per acre, this would have been $400 million in 1865. The value of that compounded to the present at each of the 3 interest rates: $ 168 billion $ 732.2 billion $ 3.1 trillion #ReparationsNow #FHTE
