ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — CIA Director Mike Pompeo said Thursday that Russia has no plans to leave Syria and will continue to try to meddle in U.S. affairs to “stick it to America.”

He reiterated his belief that Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election and described the U.S.-Russia relationship as “complicated.”

“I think they find anyplace that they can make our lives more difficult, I think they find that’s something that’s useful,” he said

Pompeo also said he has seen only minimal evidence that Russia has pursued a serious strategy against Islamic State militants in Syria. He said any suggestion that Russia has been a U.S. ally in Syria is not borne out by what’s happening on the ground. But Pompeo said he was hopeful there will be places in the world where the U.S. and Russia can cooperate on counterterrorism.

1. Pompeo still doesn't get it.

Russia doesn't want to simply “stick it to America.” It's much, much bigger than that. Their real goal is to destabilize and eviscerate the entire West, and destroy the concept of democracy - as much in Portugal, Luxembourg and Canada as in the USA. The USA is just the country with the most leverage to make that happen.

This is literally WWIII. The 2016 presidential election was the equivalent of a nuclear first strike. The fate of the world now rests on the shoulders of the world's intelligence communities, Bobby Three Sticks and Eric Schneiderman.

God help us all.
