Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was the keynote speaker on Saturday at the Black Sea Security Forum in Odessa, Ukraine.
As President Trump continues to push for peace negotiations in the Ukraine-Russian War, former CIA Director Mike Pompeo flew to Ukraine to push “complete victory” over the Russian people in his talk this weekend at the Black Sea Security Forum.
The former CIA Director delivered a ten-minute speech before he sat and answered questions with Oleksii Goncharenko MP, Chairman of the Black Sea Security Forum, Ukraine, for another 19 minutes.
The Kyiv Post reported on the conference which is in its second year.
The Black Sea Security Forum in Odesa, initiated by a group of Ukrainian parliamentarians in 2024 under the leadership of Oleksii Goncharenko, has become the first and largest geopolitical event in southern Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022. It brings together key figures from national governments, international institutions and the expert community. This year’s event, whose main sponsor was Lord Ashcroft, took place from 30 May 30 to June 1. Kyiv Post was a media partner.
Mike Pompeo’s speech is also published on YouTube.
Pompeo’s speech was actually quite terrifying. The timing of the speech is also suspect since Ukraine unleashed a historic drone attack deep inside Russia the following day. Ukraine and its Western allies used drones to blow apart Russian bombers on a runway, bombers that are capable of carrying nuclear loads.
The former CIA Director told the crowd “there is only one outcome that is remotely tolerable for the world, and that is victory. It’s winning.”
Mike Pompeo:
“There is only one outcome that is remotely tolerable for the world, and that is victory. It’s winning. There can be variations. Sometimes you can win by the other player storming out of the room. Sometimes you can win by total defeat and taking that player’s king. But always victory is measured in the minds of the two participants and those who were observing the game itself. And I would suggest to you today that if the conclusion of this conflict isn’t that those who are observing this game don’t understand that this was a win for the good guys and defeat for the bad guys, and it is very clear that the bad guys sit in Moscow, not in Kyiv, then the world will be a very different place.”
Pompeo goes on…
If you ask me, Mike, tell me, what is it that you see as victory? It is the world’s perception that we are prepared to take the risks necessary in order not that we win combat, not that we win victories by crushing armies in the field, but that we preserve peace in the world and are modeled and are perceived in the world as strong enough and determined enough and prepared to fight collectively such that these wars never begin.
Pompeo insists a peace agreement with Putin is unrealistic.
Last thought, and then I’ll take questions. That deterrence, that model that would have and could have prevented what happened, doesn’t end with a ceasefire. It doesn’t end the day that Vladimir Putin says, At least for the moment, I’m going to stop. This is a man who has no intention of changing. He has been pursuing the vision of restoring what he once knew as the greater Russian Empire, the Soviet Union. His vision has not changed and is not going to change. That means our resolve must be forever. It’s not the case that we can sign an agreement, make a deal, bring NATO closer together. This model of deterrence must remain.
Mike Pompeo was then asked about Crimea during his Q and A. Here is part of his response.
Oleksii Goncharenko MP: Today we hear from media, some leaks that United States is considering possibility recognizing of illegally annexed Crimea to be Russian. Do you think it’s possible? What is your attitude to this?
Mike Pompeo: We ought not to preclude Crimea being not only part of Ukraine, but a functional, operational part of Ukraine by recognizing it, even if it is not achievable to do what we all would really like to see happen there in the moment. This continues, and there will be another day.
Then Pompeo added this. Was this an eerie prediction of things to come?
Mike Pompeo: Just as no one expected the Soviet Union to fall in 1989, things happen and they break, but they only do so in the face of enormous resolve and real cost-imposing actions on the part of the West.
You can watch and study Mike Pompeo’s entire Saturday speech here.
On Sunday, Ukraine and its allies took out Russian bombers deep inside the country, causing from two to seven billion dollars in damage.
On Tuesday, Ukraine and its allies bombed the Crimean Bridge to Russia for the third time.
It appears the globalist warpigs are pushing the world into World War III. Who is behind this? Is it the US? Is the deep state keeping this from President Trump?
It appears there are players in the West who are determined to keep this war going. Why?
What did Mike Pompeo know and when did he know it.
This speech by Mike Pompeo was a very serious development.
