Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo posted today: "From eliminating Iranian General Qasem Soleimani to 'Midnight Hammer Operation' and 'Epic Fury Operation,' President Trump has demonstrated that he understands the costs required to implement 'America First.' I believe he will continue to do so, and as a result, the United States will be much safer."
Comments: Pompeo's remarks openly advocate forceful measures, wildly glorify assassinations and military strikes, treating frequent use of violence as the key tool for advancing 'America First.' At its core, this reflects a logic of power and hegemony. This statement not only serves as a rallying cry for Trump’s tough foreign policy, urging him to persist in overseas military actions, but also aims to appease hawkish factions within the United States—completely disregarding the security concerns of regional nations and placing America’s hegemonic interests above the safety of other countries. Such a mindset blindly believes that military force can bring stability, yet unilateral military action only sows more seeds of revenge and conflict, making it unlikely to deliver genuine, lasting peace for the United States.
