Former United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned US President Donald Trump on Saturday against recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, claiming that would be "a mistake of epic proportions."
"I get the frustration … I'm not naive about what’s physically possible in this moment, but that doesn’t mean one should go and say, ‘and we are giving up for all time," Pompeo, who served as the top US diplomat during Trump's first term, stated at the Black Sea Security Forum in Odessa. "This is one of the things I hope to communicate," he added.

If Pompeo is against, I’m for it.
These people are delusional
Same here!
No more Globalists!
I’m sure another trillion or so dumped down the Ukraine hole would restore Crimea to its ancient (1954) affiliation with Lindsey Graham’s favorite nation.
Don’t care what Kansas thinks
Pompeo is a Deep Stater.
He’s completely exposed himself. That’s why DJT is through with him.
I remember Mike Pompeo.
The guy in the video below is channeling Pompeo. I PROMISE this video is worth it. Especially how the Judge handles it, and the Judge’s final comment.

Crimea is the lynchpin to Russia’s defeat. That’s why they can’t give it up.
Who?
Fixed it!
Yeah, and that warmongering idiot also advised against the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. He can go to hell!
Funny how everyone is a warmonger to your side except for Putin.
Peace is at hand, release the Neocons!
Crimea has been Russian, and home to the Russian fleet since Catherine the great. It became Russian before George Washington was president. Pompeo is an idiot.
It belongs to Russia.
Yes and I know someone who still thinks the South should secede.
India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir. It’s been 78 years since the partition.
They almost went to war over less than a month ago.
Some things can indeed stay unsettled for a long, long time.
