Wrapping up a controversial trip to Israel that included visits to settlements in the West Bank and the Golan heights, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussed the Trump administration’s Iran policy with The Jerusalem Post on Friday.
Pompeo’s interview came after a report from The New York Times said President Trump reviewed options to strike an Iranian nuclear site during an Oval Office meeting last week. According to the Times, Trump was talked out of a military attack by Pompeo and other advisors.
The Post failed to ask Pompeo about the alarming report, but did ask if “all options” were still on the table regarding Iran’s nuclear program. “Of course,” Pompeo said. “The administration has been clear on that for its entire four years. There is no reason that would change today or tomorrow.”
Pompeo went on to boast about the administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran and said the policy played a role in the brokering of normalization deals with Israel, known as the Abraham Accords.
“That also sent a strong message to the Middle East that facilitated the Abraham Accords [through] this central understanding, this isolation of Iran in ways that are deeply different than before whether it’s the [United Arab] Emirates or Bahrain or Sudan or whoever signs the Abraham Accords next,” he said.
Hey Fat Mike, we’re going to smear your corpo grasso with Palestinian olive oil so you can be shoved through the door out of here. Watch out for the boys outside, they have lighters.

How can an ordinary American citizen/voter+qq+q understand & comprehend all the shocking blather emitted by Trump & Crew…?????? Seems to me fate and his inability to determine the danger of covid, plus his bungling and no good plan to snuff out the virus, lost him too many votes for him to win. He had become Mr. Coved Denier. Not a good place with coved death all around.
Well, Trumpians usually have a deeper understanding of international and domestic events than the average Progressive and sufferer of Deranged Trump Syndrome.
The danger of COVID-1984 was underestimated, but COVID-19 itself was bungled by Blue state health care, New York state being one of the worst offenders.
COVID-19 was as deadly as influenza, hyped as being the Second Coming the Spanish Flu and Bubonic Plagues combined, yet they still insisted on sending COVID-diagnosed patients into nursing homes otherwise free of COVID-19.

Ordinary Americans are comatose and have been swallowing blather for many, many years. Dumb bastards.
Interesting article.

Putin is a total wuss.
Well… he’s not reckless in geopolitics.
I can see where you’re coming from though.
Evil, fat man!
Black is white, up is down. Pompeo is declaring that a massive polarization in the M.E. was a good thing. Sure, now a rich country like Israel will get more tourism but at the cost of bringing Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen to ruin, in addition to our hostile acts against Iran.
