"#Locsin, who filed numerous diplomatic protests and sometimes tweeted expletives against #China, led the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at a time when the Philippine leader, #Duterte, sought closer ties with Beijing. He was Duterte’s third and longest-serving foreign secretary, steering the DFA from October 17, 2018, until Duterte’s term ended on June 30, 2022." #Philippines #ForeignAffairs

Political science people:
I fell like in the latest 40 years there has been an ever-increasing convergence between conservative militarism and the morally self-righteous neo-imperialism of the Democratic Party.

Are you aware of recommendable resources studying why US foreign policies have become largely indistinguishable between Republicans and Democrat administrations?
Preferably online bc I am poor atm.

It's so sad how Canada doesn't have dedicated resources funding anyone in the China-Canada space except in GAC.

This creates a huge deficit where talented foreign affairs and natsec folks leave by the dozens, leaving the work to a handful of volunteers in non-funded, grassroots organizations.

Are we even a country? 🙃
