    Holy hell, looks like the stress of this impeachment situation got to Pompeo. I encourage you to read her account of the situation.

    If you cant handle tough questions, then perhaps it is time to resign and run for the Senate.

    Pompeo is spot on....

    Americans don’t care about Ukraine.

    I have yet to talk to anyone who cares about
    Ukraine as a country.

    They are the most corrupt company in the world. What have they done for us?

    They are only considered an Allie because we have mutual enemies “Russia”.

    “ The enemy of my enemy is my friend? “

    The left don’t care about Ukraine either. They are just trying to use Ukraine as a Trojan horse to get Trump.

    Meanwhile Pompeo is about to travel to Ukraine personally. Americans do care about Ukraine, your impromptu surveys notwithstanding, because they are a valued ally in the region who provides a legitimate and significant check on our adversary and because they intrinsically being value to our (alleged) interests around the world of trying to fight corruption and spread democracy.

    Also, you can drop the hyperbole about Ukraine being the most corrupt country in the world. It is nonsense.

    Have you ever been to Ukraine?

    Of course not; so your firsthand experience about Ukraine being corrupt or not is formed by the pundits of CNN and PMSNBC.

    They reported the story on MSNBC about Pompeo asking the reporter to point to Ukraine on an unlabeled map.

    That's a notably laughable moment even for this bonkers administration..

    What they didn't report is Pompeo thanking her, since he didn't have the first clue where it was...

    That is one nut that is going to crack at some point...

    When Biden and Nuland and the US State Department was spending so much time and effort to install a new government in Ukraine, the guys and gals in Washington DC cared very much about Ukraine. That's why we installed a new government there, so connected people could make $ from the deal.

    I just checked Wike and while Ukraine is not THE most corrupt country in the world, it was corrupt enough for Biden to threaten to withhold $1 billion large if they didn't fire a prosecutor he wants us to believe was corrupt. Ukraine had to be pretty corrupt for Biden to make that threat, and if you disagree with that, then the only other reason why he would make that threat was to protect his son.

    Here's Wiki's take on the most corrupt countries in the world. According to the left, the worst and most corrupt countries contain the absolute best refugees anyone can ever find, their people, once they get here, will improve our economy, reduce crime while allowing us to enjoy their diversity. And if you should ever call the world's miost corrupt countries shitholes, then you're a racist.

    The reporter published some quotes from Pompeo that they had agreed were “off the record”.

    She’s scum. He had a right to be mad.

    Says him... So it's "He said/She said"..... Based on their respective 2019 track records, I know where my money is going...

    I see nobody is disputing the map part of the story...

    Also, how could she have 'published' quotes from Pompeo when she was called into his office immediately after the interview..

    You are being played by a really bad player here...

    Your reply does not address the most important issue. .... “Americans don’t care about Ukraine”.

    You only care about Ukraine because you hate Trump.

    Just admit it.....

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend..

    I personally never gave Ukraine 2 spare thoughts until Trump decided to extort them...

    Also, I though both countries electing former TV comedians was a good connection... how could THAT go wrong??

    Oh... right...

    I respect your honesty, but it just proves that
    Americans don’t care about Ukraine.

    I would be willing to bet that most tax payers would prefer that money go to better use here in America.

    I'm surprised anyone in the Trump administration would be rude in private to a liberal anti-Trump media hack. Shocked, I tell you!

    This is why Secretary of State Clinton was the most caring of Ukraine.

    Ukraine Donated the Most Cash of Any Country to the Clinton Foundation
    October 5, 2019

    from True Pundit:

    [​IMG]

    A shocking new report reveals that Ukraine donated more money to the Clinton Foundation than any other county on Earth.

    Ukraine beat out both of those countries — and everyone else — by donating a whopping $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.

    See this chart for yourself, published in The Wall Street Journal, about contributions made between 1999 and 2014:

    Some charity? Brings in $178 million in donations to spend $85 million on salaries and travel while only granting $5.1 million to charities.

    I agree with Pompeo... I really don't give a toss about the impeachment saga... it's somewhere in between "do we have bread for tomorrow and oh I really want to see that movie"
