In
Asia it is critical for a person or a nation to save face
When
or if lost one’s standing is met with condemnation and disgrace
We
in this polarized nation are in all aspects of politics facing a dangerous
trend
24/7
obstruction that when it comes to dealing with foes must come to a complete end
Three
presidents have tried and completely failed
To
successfully North Korea’s nuclear quest curtail
Trump
the fourth is completely of a different breed
Signs
that finally Trump’s warnings of destruction Kim will heed
Trump
has inherited from Clinton, Bush and Obama an utter mess
When
it comes to number of countries with nukes we need not more but less
Blues
and the MSM have pounded Trump on diplomacy for shooting from the hip and too
many tweets
Yet
when he nominates the CIA Director as Secretary of State the Blues save one are
lining up to a nomination defeat
On
grounds he lacks experience or that he is not mentally or emotionally up to the
job?
On
grounds that he believes diplomacy is a waste of time and will too quickly
missiles lob?
Soldiers
who graduate number 1 at West Point and have served in the Iraq War to see
death and soldiers maimed
Want
to avoid war through strength and diplomacy backed by strength as their most
fervent aim
Pompeo
is no Patton chomping at the bit to win on a battlefield unfettered glory
Unless
a really vital national interest is threatened, he knows American filled body
bags and maimed bodies are nugatory
No
Pompeo is opposed by the Blues for their progressive LGBT base to appeal
Believing
that he will not advance the LGBT cause with any rabid zeal
We
cannot be the morality police for the rest of earth to LGBT mores impose
But
we can be with Pompeo at Trump’s side a strong deterrent to nuclear
proliferation woes
