US image takes a hit as world reacts to Floyd protests
By Laura Kelly - 06/06/20 11:15 AM EDT

American diplomats are facing a tough challenge defending U.S. values as violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters dominate headlines around the world.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s calls to “dominate” the streets are being compared in the U.S. and in other countries to authoritarian leaders who look to treat civil discontent and unrest as acts of terrorism.

That has left diplomats charged with denouncing similar actions and statements by foreign governments in the uncomfortable position of now receiving that criticism in return.


“If you’re an American diplomat overseas, suddenly we look hypocritical,” said Nicholas Burns, former ambassador to Greece and NATO under the Clinton and Bush administrations.

The leftist media is really pouring it on.

Too bad for them an improving economy will make it all go away.

What a fellow.

A career government employee.
Rarely missing a meal at the finest restaurants.

Can be depended upon, to "diplomatically" criticize his own country, for the media.

Think Dr. Fiona Hil, a Brit at birth, but now an American.

Did you like her Ukraine-gat performance?

Behold!  The field in which I grow my shits to give.  Lay thine eyes upon it, and thou shalt see that it is barren.
