Tim’s take
He mostly treats the State Department as the connective tissue of the war machine, calling it the outfit used to sell jets and guns to other countries rather than a diplomatic body 20:58, and later worries out loud that gutting its career staff will hurt multilateral relationships even if it doesn't stop terrorism 21:45. When he's not making that argument he uses it for jokes, imagining bored State Department staffers as secret fans of the show 42:40 or as officials too consumed with Gaza and Ukraine to care about a Utah tourist's coup attempt 42:58.
