The U.S. military has gradually squeezed out diplomatic efforts abroad. This has occurred because military funding has remained constant while funding for diplomatic agencies (State Dept, USAID, Commerce, etc) has declined. I agree with the author\'s argument here, and think this is a dangerous trend. We ought to be engaging foreign governments, economies, and societies -- not just their militaries.

disagree  Natalie: Sorry, but it is wrong answer: 'placowki' does not mean 'representatives' at all; I would not recomment setting the highest degree of confidence while citing Russian-English dictionaries

  -> representatives is a bit out-of-date, agree, but representations seems OK to me (agency is purely US IMHO)
