HUMAN DYNAMO and BESTEST SEC'Y OF STATE EVAH Mike Pompeo on "Chaiman Un."

[Miles Archer]

It sounds like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo might not be absolutely clear on the surname of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Pompeo addressed reporters at the Yokota Air Base in Japan on Tuesday before a trip to North Korea. In discussing the upcoming summit with President Donald Trump, Pompeo referred to the North Korean dictator as “Chairman Un,” rather than “Kim,” the dictator’s actual family name.

Pompeo’s error was widely viewed as a diplomatic flub ― especially since this week’s trip wasn’t even his first to the Hermit Kingdom this year. He made a secret trip to the country when he was still CIA director.

The slip-up drew criticism from those in international relations and media circles.

1. Anyone ever had to stand by as the ignorant boob boss embarrasses himself and all who support them?

(and generally after all efforts possible to "educate" them?)

I feel the pain of any remaining competent State Dept. staff.... Uggh.

2. Are we seeing Putin trying to

salvage his election rigging of 2016? Some of us older geezers do remember the Korean War and the aftermath . Thousands of North Korean's went to Russia to attend University and return years later to North Korea. This was just the start of the Russian intervention into what is called the Korean Peninsula. Putin is no dummy,he is playing Trump like a two bit banjo. And the GOP is his Dancing Queen.
