Mike Pompeo has just been in Britain trying to bully the UK government out of using Huawei for its 5G network. He and other officials have been heavying countries around the world. Its not working, but one thing is clear. It makes GCSB’s head Andrew Hampton’s assertion that its decision to reject Huawei was independent is simply not believable.
News reports that the FiveEyes partners had met in Nova Scotia last year to plan the campaign against Huawei have meant Hampton’s assertion always lacked credibility. But as more nations including in Europe and Asia decide to use Huawei, the US neocons are resorting to increasingly open threats. It is their diplomatic style.
Mike Pompeo is not one who has a great regard for the truth. How do I know? Because he has said it himself, speaking to cadets at Texas A & M University earlier this year. He referenced the West Point oath not to lie, cheat or steal that he had taken when there, but went on “Hey, I worked for the CIA. We lied, cheated and stole all the time.”
Ain’t that the truth.
