3/11/18: C.I.A. Director Mike Pompeo appears on Face the Nation. He’s there to talk about how the Trump administration is doing an outstanding job of handling Kim Jong-un and the nuclear threat his regime poses to the United States. Pompeo assures Margaret Brennan, his host, that the North is a few months away from being able to strike the U.S. mainland with a missile. Previous presidents, he hints, sucked at dealing with the threat from North Korean. “For two decades,” he says, “America whistled past the graveyard and allowed the North Korea-Korean regime to build up the capacity that this administration faced when it came into office.”
Well, not his boss, “Old Fire and Fury” Trump. Trump is no pansy. He’s going to threaten a nuclear holocaust. And get results! No whistling past the tombstones for Trump.
In fact, Pompeo is happy to announce that Trump and Kim Jong-un will soon meet face-to-face.
BLOGGER’S NOTE: In the summer of 2020, when this blogger reviews his posts, he notes that while Pompeo is now Secretary of State, the U.S. is still whistling the same tune.
BLOGGER’S NOTE #2 (6/12/2022): When the blogger again reviews his posts, he notes that the Trump administration never accomplished anything in its dealings with North Korea, except to end up making the president look like a fool. North Korea had even more nuclear weapons when Trump left office than when he recited the oath of office, and promised to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
