"This is one of the things I hope to communicate," he added.

    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.

    Pompeo is a Deep Stater.
He’s completely exposed himself. That’s why DJT is through with him.

    Crimea is the lynchpin to Russia’s defeat. That’s why they can’t give it up.

    Yeah, and that warmongering idiot also advised against the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. He can go to hell!

    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.

    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.
