Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in Germany this week to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which is officially on Sunday.

During his visit, Pompeo joined U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to unveil a statue of President Ronald Reagan at the U.S. Embassy and blasted communism during a speech to mark the occasion.

"Thirty years, and we stand on a piece of real estate that was part of the kill zone, a place along the border – it was a no man’s land.  I’d seen that from the other side, and I had two instances where I saw people try to make a break across that very space – not here, but in another part.  I think we’re also well acquainted with the famous – most famous, perhaps – President Reagan’s famous words where he said: 'tear down this wall.'  I want to just make sure we reflect on why he said it, because I think it’s very telling for what our duty is as we move forward," Pompeo said at the event.  "Look at something else he once said.  He said, quote, 'Freedom is not the sole prerogative of a chosen few.  It is the universal right of all of God’s children.'  Everyone, everywhere is entitled to that freedom."

Reagan statue unveiled in Berlin at Cold War speech site

BERLIN (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Berlin unveiled a statue of Ronald Reagan on Friday at a site overlooking the location of the former president's iconic speech imploring the Soviet Union to remove the Berlin Wall.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the inauguration of the work a "monumental moment" before helping remove the cover from the larger-than-life statue on the Embassy's terrace, at eye-level with the top of the landmark Brandenburg Gate.

Saturday marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Pompeo was winding up a two-day trip to multiple cities and towns for commemorations.

I had problems finding an image of this earlier, so for those enthused over this, enjoy.

Some considerations:

At the time Reagan made his historic speech in Berlin, He stated "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."

Staffers/advisors warned him to NOT say that.

In this era, democrats, the left-media, and weak Republicans, believe those staffers should hold power to force the President to follow their opinions.
