Tulsi Gabbard, serving as the US Director of National Intelligence, has embarked on a significant diplomatic trip across Asia. The journey will see her visiting Japan, Thailand, and ultimately India, where she'll participate in the prestigious Rasina Dialogue in New Delhi on March 18, addressing key issues such as counterterrorism and cybersecurity.

 

Her schedule also includes a visit to France on her return to the US. This marks Gabbard’s second international outing in her current role, having recently attended the Munich Security Conference.

 

Her first stop was Hawaii, a crucial hub for US military and intelligence operations. There, Gabbard engaged with both military and intelligence officers to reinforce intelligence priorities and observe training exercises.

 

 

Despite the lack of disclosed details regarding her itinerary in Japan and Thailand, her participation in the Rasina Conference highlights her diplomatic priorities. Held under the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the event gathers senior security officials globally, including those from Russia. It's yet unclear if Gabbard will meet Russian representatives amid ongoing US efforts to mediate the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

 

Gabbard's successful discourse on counterterrorism at the Munich Conference earlier this year hints at her potential diplomatic approach during this tour. As the Trump administration pushes for lasting international partnerships, her speeches are expected to emphasise intelligence-sharing and cooperation across new technological frontiers, offering reassurance to US allies in an uncertain political landscape, reported Bangkok Post.

Her time will be wasted in Thailand

Agree. Thais will smile and nod but not sign anything.

There is nothing diplomatic about that woman 

[spidermike007]

Hopefully she will be told in a very direct manner how significantly US influence is waning around the world, how the US is in a dramatic state of decline, while Asia continues to rise, and how her crude and nasty leader is destroying alliances, economies, and creating a toxic environment wherever he goes, and every time he opens his foul mouth.

Still crying I see. Well it's only been 6 weeks. Maybe you'll grow up enough in a couple of years to accept the election result.

and of course she is from hawaii and lived there most of her life so it is totally necessary for her to stop in hawaii, likely stay in a $1000 a night hotel, get her picture taken, ,maybe invite old friends out for some very expensive dinners...maybe she will meet with some syrian terrorists along the way if she can fit it into her schedule...maybe she will  also explain how someone who was a republican then became a dem so she could win a seat in hawaii and then switched teams again when she realized she could suck up to trump and maybe let him grab her by the pxxxy and maybe even get appointed to a post for free junkets all around the world...

I think he and most sane rational people already accepted the election results from 2020 4+ years ago after 60 court cases and recount after recount mostly done in red states by republican officials found no evidence of any significant fraud at all....yet still cling to that same old lie to include dear leader.

I have accepted the election results, but that doesn't mean that I like Trump, that doesn't mean that I approve of his policies, and that doesn't mean that reasonable and level headed Republicans can't disagree with some of his nonsense from time to time.

 

Absolutely fealty is not required, read the memo.

I have no problem with political discourse. It's the lunatic frothing at the mouth at anything and everything Trump does that's irrational and IMHO very disturbing.

She's a Russian asset ? , well she likes them bigly...

Why would they lie to her?  What's in it for them?

[Autocan]

Tulsi's a brilliant addition to Trump's team. Her refusal to subordinate herself to Hag Hillary and Dem neocon orthodoxy cost her her future in that party. But you can't keep a good person down. DNI needs a truth teller and that's what Tulsi is. 

 

Already you can see the effect of the right numbers getting through to the WH vs. the "happy" intelligence of Avril Haines in Trump/Vance calling out the Kiev Conman and telling him to his face what the score on the ground is.

I doubt that.  I suspect she will stay at the Oriental hotel in lavish luxury and get in some nice sightseeing and maybe some new tailor made silk dresses.  She will get a red carpet welcome, smile for a lot of pictures, wine and dine in luxury all on tax payers tab,then depart with her entourage on a private govt paid plane for the next leg on her junket.  Maybe she will even meet Elon who will ask her exactly how much did the trip cost and was it really necessary to stop over in hawaii?
