EXPANSION OF A COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN GLOBAL TIMES

“… Pompeo the most unsuccessful US state secretary ever”

Well, he is certainly the nastiest ever, and he entirely lacks diplomatic grace.

He is kind of a junkyard-dog version of a Secretary of State, dragging along behind him his Bible and an oversized flag.

An inflexible ideologue, ready to lie, cheat, and steal, as he himself once laughingly bragged during a talk at Texas A & M University.

Generally, those are not the qualities exhibited by people who are successful diplomats because others do not like dealing with such people and do not trust them.

He was only appointed by Trump, the worst President in American history, because it very much pleased certain American plutocrats who make extraordinarily large political campaign contributions.

But, if you think about America’s current convulsions and rages with threats in every direction, maybe Pompeo accurately represents what the country has become.
