On one hand, I trust that Pompeo is a petty, vindictive princess. On the other, I know there’s an agenda with this administration to do away with freedom of the press. So, I wonder just how much genuine anger and spite Pompeo was feeling when he decided to foolishly attempt to berate a well-known, trusted reporter in his private living space. And, then to compound the drama with transparent rebuttals and lies, and now a censorship action.

I'd actually recognize Belarus (maybe?); a few years ago, we started working with a surprisingly decent group of contract software engineers there.
