Captain Pompeo became the new director of the CIA

The candidacy of Michael Pompeo for the post of head of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, previously proposed by Donald Trump, was approved by the US Senate.

Michael (Mike) Pompeo graduated from West Point Academy, at the end of 80's - beginning of 90's he served in the Army, retired with the rank of captain. Recently served as congressman from the state of Kansas. It was approved by 66 by senators votes against 32's. And among those who voted for Pompeo there were not only Republican senators, but also representatives of the US Democratic Party.

Pompeo during the so-called preliminary interview underwent a real flurry of questions. The senators, in particular, were interested in his attitude to the surveillance of American citizens. Officially, all this was presented as if representatives of the upper house of the US Congress were afraid that Pompeo would increase surveillance by the CIA. And Pompeo "solemnly promised" that the enhancement of surveillance will not happen, than the senators seemed to be satisfied and voted for Pompeo.

A separate topic before the appointment of Pompeo were questions on his attitude towards Russian policy. Then another candidate for the post of director of the CIA presented the “right” (in the senators' sense) attitude, saying that the Russian Federation “is invading and occupying Ukraine”, and also “threatens Europe and does not make any special efforts to combat IS *” (a terrorist group banned in Russia).

It became known and about the decision to approve Rex Tillerson as the main contender for the post of head of the US State Department. This decision was made by the Senate Committee. Now he is expected to vote the entire chamber. For approval, Tillerson needs to dial the 51 senatorial voice from 100. The Republicans in the Senate 52 chair.

Trump to key posts pushes people with business experience, which means pragmatists to some extent. In any case, it will not be worse than it was under Clinton, Bush and Obama. And rightly so, we'll see.

If he does not continue to frighten everyone with Russia, then very soon we will see "the last day of Pompeo" Again or a lady with low social. responsibility will appear, or the briefcase will be lost.

To be honest, I’ll personally be approved by the director of the CIA. Special services under any presidents are engaged in their work solving specific problems. And in the United States, subversive work in sovereign states to overthrow regimes and power is added to this. Therefore, no matter who occupies this chair, the methods and forms of work remain the same for hundreds of years with the addition of new technologies.

One hundred years ago I was a captain, I worked as a deputy all the way, and here you go, my friend, to manage the CIA, to save the world, so to speak.

And no matter who steers there, the system has been self-regulating over decades.
Wow, Trump stirred up this gadyushnik (not only the CIA), the scene from "Aliens 2" is recalled when they climbed to the lower level. It becomes more and more interesting to live like that.

Wow and trumped up this viper

Yeah. The other day, he visited the CIA headquarters (which indescribably angered the outgoing director) and spoke out unequivocally about the media. Oh, and he will make a rustle here, crush the Faberge to everyone who spat on him. By the way, Sean Spicer has been appointed to the position of "psaki", so now we will troll.

This is some kind of theater. Guys want jobs. Roughly speaking, they are given a condition. Do you believe in God (like, is Russia an enemy?)? Yes, men say. Come in!

[INTA_VEGA]

All life is a theater. It is a normal check for adequacy and loyalty. Is it different in our government?

The director of the CIA presented the “correct” (in the sense of senators) attitude, saying that the Russian Federation “carries out the invasion and occupation of Ukraine”, as well as “threatens Europe and does not make much effort to fight IS *” (a terrorist group banned in Russia).

The main mantra is uttered - and, lo and behold!

What can I say? Radish horseradish is not sweeter. The whole algorithm of further relations, as before, will be determined by two derivatives - action and reaction.

How will Rex bark now? In the wind or against?

They have such a chip - to put the intelligence chief of a person who has nothing to do with this intelligence.
