Pompeo Joins Ukrainian Missile Board: The Revolving Door Keeps Spinning
Mike Pompeo, fresh from his stints as head of the CIA and Secretary of State, now advises a Ukrainian missile company. This isn't breaking news for anyone tracking the cozy relationship between Washington's elite and the military-industrial complex. During his tenure, Pompeo consistently advocated for increased defense spending and aggressive foreign policy, strategies that coincidentally create
ample opportunities for companies like Fire Point. One might wonder if former officials are just keeping a seat warm for their next corporate directorship. This predictable career move highlights a system where hawkish rhetoric often precedes lucrative board positions. It’s hard to call it a 'revolving door' when the door seems permanently jammed open, allowing former officials to transition
seamlessly from overseeing wars to profiting from them. How many conflicts does one need to advocate for before earning their defense industry 'retirement package'? (Trick question: there's no limit).
