So anyone who voices support for NORMAL behavior is now a threat to democracy...on a global scale no less.
I thought Ukraine was the pinnacle of a "democracy" and that's why we're funding a war there.
It has taken the Biden administration a long time to put many Ambassadors in place.
For instance the UK's new Ambassador Jane D. Hartley only arrived in August 2022.
The US has a different system to most countries, with the US giving Ambassador positions as a reward for loyalty or raising campaign funds.
Whereas many other countries choose Ambassadors from senior civil servants from their equivalent of the State Department, and as such Ambassadors are supposed to be impartial in terms of politics, and do not need replacing if an election sees another political party come in to office.

Ambassadors must be approved by the Senate. There's over 60 nominees awaiting approving. Ted Cruz has been holding up a lot of these.
As for Cruz, that whole dreadful beard thing, makes him look like some sort of Mexican bandit, he just needs a sombrero to finish off the look.
