Friend –

Imagine what would happen in the midst of this week’s World Series if the Houston Astros or the Atlanta Braves only fielded partial teams? That is basically what we’re doing on the diplomatic playing field and I’m worried given the stakes.

• Did you know that America has dozens of vacant ambassador posts and senior national security leadership positions – including gaps in critical spots from China to India to Brazil? 

It’s the topic of my latest op-ed in The Hill today: “America isn't fielding its team on the global stage.”

As always, welcome your feedback.
 
More soon,
 
Liz
