What is of more serious concern for you (the US), I think, is the chronic deficit of Kissingers, Schlesingers, and Kennans matched by chronic surplus of McFauls, Nulands, and Buttigiegs.

(Disclaimer: I mentioned Buttigieg not due to the fact that he is openly LGBT, but moreso because of the fact that his coming out, ahem, too often appears the sole reason of him getting this post in the time when truly herculean abilities for work of renewal the ageing infrastructure are needed. I would nominate someone like Chris Hadfield for your Secretary of Transportation instead: Chris, at the very least, has an airport named after him. Anyway, this is how it looks like from the outside — between the devil of East Palestine and the deep blue sea where the remnants of Francis Scott Key Bridge now dwell.)
