Pompeo urged not to confuse Crimea with the Golan Heights

April 10 2019 5

Policy The United States is completely different with respect to Crimea and the Golan Heights, as these two situations have nothing in common with each other. This statement was made by the head of the US Department of State Mike Pompeo during a hearing in the appropriation committee of the US Senate.

According to the Secretary of State, the difference is that Israel in 1967 was attacked by Syria and was forced to capture the Golan. In 2014, no one attacked Russia. Mike Pompeo believes that Moscow took the opportunity to annex part of the territory of Ukraine, which did not pose any threat to Russia.
The capture of the Golan Heights by Tel Aviv, according to the head of the State Department, was undertaken to protect his country from the attack of the "Syrian aggressors."

Comparing the Golan Heights and Crimea, Pompeo said:

There are no more different situations than these.

After hearing the head of the State Department, Senator Dick Durbin asked him to clarify whether this means that the United States considers the occupation of territories acceptable during military operations. The Secretary of State responded in the affirmative, adding that he considered such actions to be “practical policy” measures. In his opinion, the seizure of part of the territory from the aggressor country could be a punishment for him.

Look how it is ..... It turns out that the States are also full of idiots, not just ours. This means that Israel, defending itself, captured the Golan Heights, but on February 20, 2014, when the Crimeans, on eight buses traveling from Kiev to their home in Crimea, near Korsun, were stopped by a gang of thugs from the last OUN-UPA, and they began to kill them, helpless, and maim with bats, fittings, burn buses with "Molotov cocktails", and shoot them out of the pumps, put them on their knees, and make them eat broken bus glass, and sing "She ne died ...", then more than 70 people were killed and wounded, and many missing, and on the same day the Supreme Soviet of Crimea adopted a resolution on secession from Ukraine, an all-Crimean referendum on joining Russia, and on the same night when the coup d'etat took place, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine decided to abolish the Russian language throughout Ukraine - this is the first , and second, if Crimea was "Not ours," it would be American, like a naval base of the United States and NATO, but do we need it? That's it, Ukrainian guys, you yourself are stuck ..... Crimea, and now the end comes to all your "nezalezhnoy".

  Continuing your comparison, I would like to ask: can you imagine what would happen if, say, some Palestinians or representatives of Hezbollah, etc. stopped the bus with the Jews, did the same thing, and made the Koran read aloud on their knees, for example? ... I think that in general there would be no Golan Heights, no Palestinian autonomies, nor much else ... We are too kind to the fraternal people ...

    Yes, after such a focus, the Israelis would probably have leveled a couple of Palestinian villages with bulldozers without hesitation. And in the Crimea, if not for the departure to Russia, events would unfold worse than in the Donbass.

Confusing Pompeo with a normal person is also not necessary.
