Your assessment is right on. This inhumane policy against humanity will further erode our righousness in the history book of world politik. Our constant wars. Our world wide sanctions. Who we chose as allies. All these bad choices will haunt us well into the future. We are on the wrong side of history.
The “no daylight” approach is simply moronic. No two states ever have identical interests. *Of course* there should be “daylight” between the US and foreign states when our interests diverge!
Instead, we simply write blank check after blank check to genocidal parasites like Israel and Taiwan while our own nation falls apart. Biden ran a campaign predicated on turning back the clock to the way the world was before Trump. This was a mistake. The world has changed and we need to adjust our sails rather than cursing the wind. Soon enough, it won’t just be poor people in the Global South who suffer from our policies and the chickens will come home to roost.
I was reading that the last time the State Department was rife with this much dissension was the pullout from Afghanistan. But that was the right move.

"No daylight" translated into English means "I am your sockpuppet!"

Whenever Joe Biden does something right you can expect him to follow it up with three much larger fuckups in a row.
I thought that State Department underlings were planning a dissent.
But it seems that dissent has been subsequently squelched. Those officials doubtless know what will and what will not advance one's career at State.
