Mike Pompeo: Lunatic and War-Monger

Pompeo has always come off as a weird dude with a lot of "Generalissimo!!  I'm a Generalissimo!!" to him.

So it's no surprise that he thinks he'll run for President in '24.  We'll wager that he'll get more primary votes than Pence.  Maybe.

Meantime, he's describing the War He Wants.  Wauck presents his summaries.

...Pompeo sees the US in a struggle to maintain global hegemony. The threat to that hegemony is an alliance between Russia and China but the solution to that threat is not to seek cooperation with one of the other of those two countries. There is not a hint of diplomacy in the entire speech—indeed, negotiations are explicitly rejected. In Pompeo’s view the solution is for the US to dominate both China and Russia countries through a network of puny second rate powers.... 

Oh, but that's not all!

 ...Russia could become an energy “juggernaut”, he says, whereas Pompeo believes it’s the US that should “regain our energy dominance." And the road to US energy dominance is through war in Ukraine. He wants us to believe that the war in Ukraine is one that Russia sought, but the reality is that Neocon Grand Strategy has been pushing for war with Russia since at least 2008.

But it doesn’t end with Russia. Pompeo believes that the US should provoke war with China by recognizing the full independence of Taiwan...

Based on Ron Johnson's vague and (frankly) incomprehensible excuse-making for spending $40 BILLION TAX DOLLARS on the 4th-most-corrupt Government in the world, it's likely that Ron is listening to this bozo-with-scrambled eggs on his hat.

Ron should find better advisors.
