Mike Pompeo is still an idiot. He was prank called and took it seriously.
Former CIA Director and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, during a prank call with Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus who introduced themselves as former Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, stated that the West needs to pull Russia away [from China] and convince them they are better aligned with the West than the East.
The video of the prank call originally appears here and below.
“If this war stopped, we would start to convince the Russians that they are in a better position with us than with China,” Mike Pompeo said.
