You mean that they suddenly discovered Gunpowder?

Was it an M-80 noisemaker?

A wrist-rocket slingshot?

That intel community you mention...that the same US intel that launched a covert op to derail Trumps campaign and a coup attempt after he won? That intel community?

Hows things going there at the State Department today sport?

Take articles like that one from oligarch-sponsored propaganda companies like the New York Times with a big grain of salt. They’re pecking away at your minds.

Do you really believe that Secretary Mike P. blindly trusts anyone? That’s highly unlikely, and his Dept. doesn’t work in isolation. Neither does the Pres.

The new Dept. isn’t like the old Dept.

Pompeo actually strikes me as somewhat naive. I’ve watched him. At least his behavior and watching the Norks publicly yeah mercilessly and embarrassingly jack him around and his demeanor in Pyongyang on visits there spoke to me of an unfamiliarity with Asia at a deep level and particularly vis a vis DPRK. Bolton much better suited to not take crap or be fooled, anyways this pathetic and painful to watch house of cards charade is collapsing—of thinking the Kim regime would (ever) give up nukes freely and come clean, over mere optics and niceties and photo ops in Singapore. I gave it six months on FR and it seems to be on course. Privately, people in the Administration admit it’s not going anywhere. I don’t fall for the beltway soon and DC optics.

But Pompeo doesn't do the negotiating, either. He's a manager. He provides briefings.

"Bolton much better suited to not take crap or be fooled,..."

As for Bolton, he's the National Security Advisor. Bolton's alright, though, come to think of it. He still stands by the decision to go to war in Iraq and military action and regime change in Syria, Iran and Libya. He wants a tougher position against Russia and China...

Hmmm. Maybe you're right! Maybe Bolton would be a great secretary of state!    ;-D

It doesn’t matter, if dems had their way they would have given them our secrets like clinton and China

More than a silly wrist rocket, bud, I’m sorry to say. Internal reports are emerging from South Korean intelligence, and Japan intelligence this was a KN-series rocket (not sure, KN-8, or what, just a missile engine test or what).

They fed 500 fat people a lot of kimchi and locked a regular person in a big room with them....the regular person didn’t make it.
