Decades of US interventions and outright wars across the Middle East
haven’t proved nearly the cure-all that a lot of hawks had promised they
would be. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sees the continued existence of Iran as the key to all of this.
During the Warsaw anti-Iran conference, Pompeo declared both peace and
stability to be “just not possible” without confronting Iran. And to be
clear, administration officials maintain they’re confronting Iran at an
unprecedentedly high rate.
This suggests that when Pompeo says confronting Iran is vital to peace,
and the key to solving effectively every problem in the Middle East,
he’s using the term “confront” the same way Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s transcript was changed from “war” to
“confrontation.”
A lot of top EU officials, correctly predicting the tone of the
conference, did not bother to attend, with lower-ranking diplomats
representing a lot of countries, as Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence
berate them for not being more anti-Iran.
I can hardly wait until these great men and women reveal to us mere mortals the living gods that they really are, so that we may drop to our knees and worship them.
That’s because Americans don’t really understand what democracy means.
What a disgusting POS.
That, and taking a dump in the lower men’s room at Pennsylvania Station
Pompeo,,just another West Point Flunkie, who needs to discipline what he puts in his mouth!
They do what they are paid to do.
Antar-Not all people do, over the years I have turned down contracts to install communication systems for abortion providers, like PPH, where I would have made thousands$, only because I wanted no part of that great evil. Nothing is worth selling your soul for! But Pompeo is weak,,and one outward indication is his inablity to resist food that makes him obese, thus he wants instant gratification, very dangerous fault.
Is this still part of the good cop/bad cop routine all the Trump addicts were telling us about when the Don hired this piece of sh!t? Still waiting for some good cop action.
You assume trump knows, or even cares what Pompeo is doing. No, he thinks with his gut, so when the slimy gerbil crawling around in his colon tells him to, he’ll perform the movement to excrete Pompeo, no one knows if he wipes, we’ll see what happens.
And it sure stinks.
“Excrete Pompeo”
That should be a bumper sticker.
So am I, buddy. The biggest mistake Trump made was hiring both Pompous Pompass and Bonkers Bolton, both of whom are traitors. Placing a hostile foreign country (Israel) above the US is treason, simple as that.
Never choose a CIA man for Secretary of State. Why? Diplomacy’s not the hallmark of the CIA; it’s strictly for the State Dept. There are lots of good, experienced diplomats Trump could’ve picked from to be SOS .. Pompous Pompass certainly isn’t by a long shot. He’s never had to negotiate; he hates negotiating and loves issuing threats.
The best hope you have is his 2nd term in the office where he can carry out his real agenda without any consequences from the MIC.
This isn’t Syria or Afghanistan, this is Iran, the big prize. It isn’t the consequences from the MIC that should be the main concern when it comes to Iran, it’s the parasite. And Trump seems right on board.
It’s really refreshing to have it all in the open, full brutality exposed …
War is peace and ignorance, knowledge …
This “confront” not “war” hair-splitting is important, because there are legal restrictions around what a country can do in terms of war. The warmonger nations clearly want to expand their acts of war against Iran, but would rather not have to declare war, trigger the press coverage that wars result in, or follow official rules of engagement like the Geneva Conventions. We could see a semi-broad coalition of nations attack Iran without any of them declaring war.
The sack of lard Pompeo is even crazier than his boss.
Really!
They both seem like 2 peas in a pod.
But crazy does have its levels!
