[Bloomberg] Trump Fires Tillerson, Names CIA’s Pompeo as Secretary of State

---

Le départ de Tillerson et son remplacement par Pompeo n’est pas neutre, loin de là. Pompéo est un illuminé , haineux fanatique  ennemi de  l’Iran  qu’il a récemment comparé à ISIS.

Cette nomination va lui permettre de laisser libre cours à sa haine. Trump qui est déjà hors jeu et n’a déja plus aucune influence est dépassé. Attendez vous à ce que la situation avec l’IRAN s’envenime et que l’accord sur le nucléaire soit dénoncé.  

Les européens qui négocient pour une solution raisonnable et équitable n’ont aucune chance d’être entendus. On verra si ils se couchent devant les militaires US et la CIA. Macron avait ébauché une position positive.
