The US
Desperately Needs a New Secretary of State

- The ignorant warmonger
masquerading as an American Secretary of State
should be arrested for his impersonation of an
American government official.
Mike Pompeo cannot possibly be the US
Secretary of State, because not even Donald
Trump would appoint an idiot to this high
position who thinks that Article 2 of the
Constitution gives the president the authority
to declare war and invade other countries.
Here is what the moronic imposter Pompeo said:
“The president has his full range of Article 2
authorities and I’m very confident that any
action we took in Venezuela would be lawful.”
This was Pompeo’s answer when asked if President
Trump could intervene in the country’s power
struggle without congressional approval.

Of course, it is not “the country’s power
struggle.” It is Washington’s effort to
overthrow the Bolivarian Revolution and regain
control over Venezuela’s resources.
Pompeo is twice idiot.
The US Constitution gives the power to
declare war only to Congress. Moreover, under
the Nuremburg laws laid down by the US
government after World War 2, it is a war crime
to commit aggression, which is what US military
intervention in Venezuela would be.
I
should have said that Pompeo is three times
idiot, because he asserts that countries that
are diplomatically defending the democratically
elected government of Venezuela are “interfering
with the Venezuelan people’s right to restore
their own democracy.”
Someone should tell the idiot Pompeo that
it is the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan
military that have refused Washington’s
financial bribes and threats who are supporting
Venezuelan democracy, not Washington whose
failed coup might be followed up with another
Washington war crime invasion.
Lavrov
and Putin have found it difficult in the past to
put down a hard foot in order to deter more
illegal war crime aggression from Washington.
Lavrov is too civilized of a person to
have to confront a neo-nazi like Pompeo.
Putin
should send Shoigu to deal with Pompeo. The time
for polite, accommodating talk is long past.
A country and its people are at stake.
Let’s hope Russia and China do not permit
another Libya.
Someone
needs to inform RT
about the US Constitution.
RT incorrectly reported that: “Article 2
of the US Constitution grants the president the
right to declare war and act as commander in
chief of the country’s armed forces.”
Utter nonsense!
