He’s with stupid
Pompeo is mad because people don’t think Trump is being awesome.
“I spent the last day and a half, two days, talking to partners in the region, sharing with them what we were doing, why we were doing it, seeking their assistance,” Pompeo told Fox News. “They’ve all been fantastic. And then talking to our partners in other places that haven’t been quite as good.
“Frankly, the Europeans haven’t been as helpful as I wish that they could be. The Brits, the French, the Germans all need to understand that what we did, what the Americans did, saved lives in Europe as well.”
Uh huh.
“Qassem Suleimani led and his IRGC [Revolutionary Guard] led assassination campaigns in Europe. This was a good thing for the entire world, and we are urging everyone in the world to get behind what the United States is trying to do to get the Islamic Republic of Iran to simply behave like a normal nation.”
Oddly enough though, blowing up Suleimani isn’t the way to get Iran to act normal. It’s not that the allies think Suleimani was awesome, it’s that they think making Iran act normal isn’t quite as simple as blowing up one of its top guys.
Would Pompeo be on board with the use of similar tactics to get the United States to simply behave like a normal nation?
lol of course not. We get to do to other people what we will bury them for doing to us. Them’s the rules.
Freedom Fries in the cafeteria again?
Pompeo is discovering that people outside of the bubble are not deluded and uninformed authority-fans.
Trump demanding that other world leaders act normally. That’s not irony, that’s cobalty.
With his density, I’d go with plutoniumy.
