Secretary of state told Radio Free Europe he had no worries about the U.S.'s ability to take a tough line with authoritarian regimes.

. The promised delivery of U.S. oil to Belarus presents Washington with a potential bargaining chip in forcing Lukashenko's hand.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is pictured on August 12, 2020 in Prague, Czech Republic. He says it is"insulting" to compare the police response to the George Floyd protests with that of authoritarian regimes."We were incredibly troubled by the election and deeply disappointed that it wasn't more free and more fair," Pompeo told Radio Free Europe..

"Even your question is insulting," Pompeo said."The difference between the United States and these authoritarian regimes couldn't be more clear. "We have the rule of law, we have the freedom of press, every one of those people gets due process. When we have peaceful protesters, we create the space for them to say their mind, to speak their piece."

"Contrast that with what happens in an authoritarian regime. To even begin to compare them, to somehow suggest that America's moral authority is challenged by the amazing work that our police forces, our law enforcement people do all across America."

Insulting because it’s TRUE. Don’t worry, though Pompeo- we will escalate the truth and take great pleasure in throwing you incompetent goat 🤬s out 11-3-20. We. 👏. CAN’T. 👏. *WAIT*... ExpectUs ElectionDayisComing

Translation: Man with credibility problem claims he has no credibility problem. ('Argument by assertion' fallacy.)

Newsweek is a tabloid rag.

Pompeo personally embodies the weakened US moral authority. He lets Trump harass and fire his employees for political gain and never speaks up. ▶️Spineless ▶️Feckless ▶️Corrupt.

Could it have something to do with our COVID responese? The US is banned from traveling the world

Old Pompeo looks like he's been eating a lot of deep dish pizza.

Insulting to who, exactly? He never really says.

Radical impersonal arrest procedures are immoral to the treatment of individual rights. There are more effective and safer ways to make an unverified arrest.

US still has moral authority? North Korea better than US morally lately

Insulting to what idiots?

What Moral Authority?

Newsweek = Fox II, the Trump Nightmare.
