I feel like you've made this much more complicated than it needs to be and get into details, while glossing over the basics. Our foreign policy- as the way you define it - includes military and diplomatic functions. It's important to separate these functions and policy options instead of mixing them up. State Department leads all civilian foreign policy. The Department of Defense leads all military policy. They are two different facets or levers of power and while the two have to work together, they serve completely different functions (hard power vs. soft power. You also glossed over the National Security Council which is an important interagency process, technically led by the executive (or President. But this is as it pertains to peace and security. When you talk about purely -peacetime- civilian functions, which is much of our foreign policy, like trade, human rights, etc it's all State Department. A lot of people don't understand foreign policy because it's rarely explained in a way that people understand. I think you put out some great content, but on this one, you really lost the ball! Sorry!

Foreign policy example: Western Christian Nations want democracy in Communist China and Communism in Democratic India. They actively fund respective antagonistic political unrests in both of these nations. In fact Real Hidden agenda behind this strategy is annihilation of Native cultures and native religions of Asia and spreading the Christian theocratic economic and political system In Eastern World

I was hoping the series would end this way and I wasn't disappointed!
Thank you Craig & CrashCourse for this amazing primer on US gov & politics. I'm starting law school in the fall and this was the perfect refresher, and I learned a lot I didn't know before, too.

US did not become a party to the ICC because of the prospective implications of its citizens in crimes against humanity. This specification would've educated people more about US foreign policy.
