Journalists travelling with Pompeo were not informed where they were going instead of Berlin, with Pompeo’s staff saying they may not be able to reveal the next destination until after they had left. Their plane has been tracked heading east.

Journalists travelling with Pompeo were not informed where they were going instead of Berlin I can think of a few places I'd like to send a planeload of today's "journalists".

Has to be Iran. Wonder if they tried to taunt the Navy like they did under Obama and the results were vastly different this time.

Twittercon Posobiec reporting that the NSA parking lot is full of state department vehicles and last night’s tweet by Sweet Lindsey R Qatar about the dastardly Russians attacking Idlib.
So yeah another attempt to snooker a GOP prez into a cabinet level war. So get ready for more military theatrics and more cruise missiles.

Approx. three weeks ago the chief exec of Iran’s National Guard defected to the West with Iran’s war plans. That was a serious moment, and has caused this serious reaction. Jerusalem newspapers are trying to take credit, but they are blowing smoke.

Amir Tsarfati has said that he can’t reveal where the Iranian is right now, so that means he knows, and it seems almost elementary that Mossad (or another Israeli intelligence unit) had a part in it.

Probably the US doesn’t belong in Nato, either. But I realize that I’m a ‘radical’ on that point.

Doing anything with Merkel is a waste of time anyway.
