He truly reveals himself when he mentions, "... the vision of Upton Sinclair". Upton was a socialist to his core. If memory serves, the expression, "Department of Peace", stems from Orwell's novel, 1984. It is an example of "double speak". The "Department of Peace" was the Department of War; war was ongoing and perpetual between three superpowers, always two against one, with constantly shifting alliances. The "will of the people" was whatever Big Brother said it was via constant, unrelenting 2 way TV. does this sound familiar in this day of snooping electric meters and appliances?
When Nixon/Rockefeller opened relations with China, he was adopting this strategy, weakening the Russian/Chinese relationship by drawing China to us with irresistible bait ... the US marketplace. I recognized his strategy as it happened, and I was alternatively almost hysterical or enraged. I would have accepted impeachment on these grounds alone, let alone Nixon's wage and price controls, creation of the petro-dollar and other blatantly tyrannical and treacherous acts. Watergate was ironic in that it was the least of his malfeasances that took him down.
Kaku doesn't understand, or, if he does, doesn't mention military war gaming. The archives are crammed full of hypothetical, what if scenarios. they're exercises in military planning and have no relationship to reality.
Nature abhors a vacuum. If America doesn't stand, then who? I've noted over the years that "peace loving" people always seem to be the subjects of tyranny ... specifically the USSR, China and their satellite nations, who always seem to be in or calling for a war of liberation.
