The U.S. embassy in Seoul draped a huge Black Lives Matter banner on its mission building and tweeted a picture of it in support of an anti-racism campaign across America.

“The U.S. Embassy stands in solidarity with fellow Americans grieving and peacefully protesting to demand positive change. Our #BlackLivesMatter banner shows our support for the fight against racial injustice and police brutality as we strive to be a more inclusive & just society,” the embassy tweeted on Saturday, along with the picture of the banner in black and white.

And State Dept Security should be required to do an in depth investigation on the five W’s of this case. A number of FS careers should be ended by this outrage which took some time to plan and execute.

“Some diplomats need to be fired”

Or at the very least reassigned to some of the State Department’s less appealing locations...

The US Embassy in Caracas Venezuela

The US Consulate in Vladivostok Russia

The US Embassy in Khartoum Sudan

The US Consulate in Karachi Pakistan

8 years of Apollyon preaching his subtle lies. Just like his real father (John 8:44). Not saying he's the final guy; he just does a fantastic impersonation.

According to the article, the ambassador is planning to leave the job very soon...
I guess he really does not care if Secretary Pompeo is unhappy or not...

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2020/06/06/South-Korea-joins-global-Black-Lives-Matter-rallies/6341591455360/

About 100 people showed up for the Black Lives Matter protest in Seoul...

Are those people aware of what BLM would do in a dispute involving some Korean immigrant shop owner and a black person? I am just giving a hypothetical situation...A Korean store owner has a physical confrontation with a black teenager in his store...The owner saw the teenager stealing something...The teenager would go to BLM people and complain...BLM people would show up to the store and harass the owner...BLM people would only listen to what the black teenager has to say...BLM is some group worried about discrimination against blacks only...

I don’t know why some Asian-Americans support Black Lives Matter movement...If there is a dispute between an Asian-American person and a black person, the BLM activists would always support the black person...I am guessing that some Asian-Americans are afraid of being called as some “traitors” to the anti-racism movement...

In any case, the hanging the BLM sign in Korea is a stupid idea...Very few Koreans care about BLM movement...What is the point?

U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Harry Harris is considering stepping down from his position. He is having trouble with President Trump’s effort at cost sharing which asks South Korea to increase its share of the cost for stationing some 28,500 American troops on the divided peninsula. Another issue is Korea’s decision to end a information sharing agreement with Japan which has caused U.S. criticism. Harris, who was appointed by Trump, is not on board with his foreign policy.

Harris was nominated on September 22, 2014, by President Barack Obama to command the US Pacific Command. I smell a RAT.

Who do I like?

After what happened to Dino Rossi I think it probably doesn’t matter who I like.

Black Lives Matter = Antifa

Pompeo should have sent US Marshals over there and handcuffed the bastard ambassador.

This country is so weak. We spend hundreds of billions on neat hardware and tech, and we can’t even handle some asshole in a US Embassy.
