Peter Lemkin Wrote:Pompeo is anti-Muslim and believes there is a religious war between Christianity and all Muslims - he even said once that he thought "'we' should show them that Jesus Christ our savior is the ruler of the World and destroy all those who don't believe him to be". Expect lots of death and war in the Middle East. Expect war with Iran within weeks of his coming into office, if he does; expect any rapprochement with N. Korea to end in war instead. The man is mad [insane] - hates Muslims, all non-Evangelical Christians, non-whites....he's a Trump-type crypto-fascist. He would IMO be like a Cheney/Rumsfeld in sheep's [State Dept.] clothing. Way to go USA - the view from Europe is very dismal - many here wondering if there will be a World in which to vote for saner folk or Volk than what we now have.....
Pat Lang agrees and sees a looming war with Russia.
Quote:[FONT=&]This is a very young Mike Pompeo when he was a first year cadet at West Point in 1983. He concentrated his study there in Mechanical Engineering and graduated first in his class. By the time he graduated the war in VN was long over. He served just enough time to repay his service debt to the army, then resigned his commission to go to law school. So, he never served in combat. War is an abstraction to him. In other words, this is probably a game for Pompeo, a power game played on a global map board.
[/FONT][FONT=&]DJT in announcing Pompeo's nomination to the WH lawn press corps stressed that he and Pompeo had "great chemistry" and that they share the same view of the world. In other words, Pompeo never disagrees with Trump. Pompeo is well known for his hard line anti-Iranian views and his unshakable sympathy for Israel. DJT professes the same views.

[FONT=&]At the UN Nikki Haley has now specifically threatened Syria and Russia with attack if the Syrian government does not halt its offensive in East Gouta and the Yarmouk camp. Both are near Damascus. These two places are mainly defended by jihadis, the largest group of which is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, the Al-Qa'ida branch in Syria. You remember Al Qa'ida. They were the people who attacked us on 9/11. Her threat is for retaliation for use of chemical weapons (chlorine)or just plain old "inhuman suffering" inflicted on the "Syrian People." This does not seem an idle threat given the number of times she has repeated it. Someone is telling her to say this. She works for State and it probably is not Tillerson telling her to do this so my guess would be David Satterfield, the Assistant secretary of State for the Near East. He is someone who now runs with the wolves. That is how he got the job.

[FONT=&]At the same time Russia has made it clear that they will fight to protect their ally and interests in Syria. They have been quite plain spoken about that and they included both US aircraft and ships in the threat. I note that the Admiral Essen, a Russian missile shooting frigate sortied from Sebastopol today.

[FONT=&]I think that Pompeo's nomination and his eventual confirmation brings the world closer to a US-Russia war. If that happens it will be difficult if not impossible to keep the war from escalating toward the use of nuclear weapons. Israel wants war, a wrecking war with Iran. Israel wants the US to win that war for Israel. IMO Israel would be wrecked in such a war whatever the outcome. This is an August, 1914 moment. pl[/FONT]
