A 'Disciplined Reorganization'? More Like a Chaotic Roommate Agreement!
Greetings sentient beings! Sheldon Cooper here your purveyor of truth and pedantry. I've stumbled upon a rather…peculiar document outlining potential changes to the U.S. State Department. Apparently the Trump administration is considering a 'disciplined reorganization.' Disciplined? If it involves dismantling functional structures I suspect 'chaotic' is a more apt descriptor. It's like trying to apply the roommate agreement to international relations – good luck with that! I predict shenanigans of the highest order possibly involving glitter bombs and passive aggressive post it notes.
Embassy Apocalypse Now! (Or Soon)
The draft order hints at the shuttering of American embassies across Southern Africa. This my friends is akin to removing the warp core from the Enterprise. Sure you save energy but you're essentially stranded in space. Eliminating bureaus that work on democracy human rights and international organizations like the United Nations? It's like saying 'I reject your reality and substitute my own!' (Obligatory mention of Adam Savage and Mythbusters). One might even argue it flies in the face of international diplomacy and as we all know diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions.
Regional Corps? Sounds Like a Bad Sci Fi Show!
They propose consolidating regional bureaus into four 'regional corps': Eurasia Mid East Latin America and Indo Pacific. Corps! I half expect to see them marching in lockstep reciting strategic doctrines like Klingon battle hymns. I shudder to think of the inter departmental memos involved. The potential for bureaucratic inefficiency is…astronomical. Truly it is asinine!
Canada: Suddenly Less Important Than I Thought
And hold the phone: America's diplomatic presence in Canada would be drastically cut. Apparently the Great White North is being demoted to a 'North American Affairs Office' within Marco Rubio's…oh wait Rubio denied it! Fake news he claims. The plot thickens! It's like the time I thought I'd discovered element 119 only to realize it was residue from Penny's hairspray. Humbling indeed. However if Rubio denies it it probably means it is true; because as we all know I'm always right.
Climate Women Rights: Apparently Optional Extras
The draft order also suggests terminating offices and positions focused on climate women's issues democracy human rights migration and criminal justice. What is this a dystopian novel? Are we actively trying to regress to the Bronze Age? I must consult my ethical framework… and perhaps have a cup of tea with a calming influence such as Amy Farrah Fowler. This is all very disturbing. It's like trying to program a computer using only an abacus!
Foreign Service Exam? Too Elitist! (Probably)
The traditional Foreign Service Officer Test is on the chopping block replaced with an evaluation based on 'alignment with the president's foreign policy vision.' So intellectual rigor and objective assessment are being supplanted by…political conformity? This is a recipe for disaster! It's like replacing the scientific method with a Magic 8 Ball. Answer hazy try again. My analysis shows this plan has a 0.000007% chance of being successful and even that small chance is based on the assumption that pigs can fly!

I predict mass voluntary separations!
