Can You Survive The Pompeo Challenge? Name These Unmarked Countries
January 29, 2020 12:00 GMT

NPR journalist Mary Louise Kelly says U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo -- apparently angered over some tough questioning -- summoned her to his private living room at the State Department and challenged her to point to Ukraine on an unmarked map. Kelly -- who has a master's degree in European Studies from Cambridge -- said she did. Pompeo (who's set to arrive in Kyiv on January 30) later suggested Kelly had pointed to Bangladesh instead. How would you fare if you were called on the carpet by Pompeo?

I think that's actually a pretty hard quiz. I lucked out on one country, missed another. I did okay.

So, RFERL is having a bit of fun.

Child's Play - 10/10. As a kid I was an avid stamp collector and shortwave radio listener, I credit that for giving me a good background in Geography.

9/10. I was between two choices and the correct answer was the one I didn't pick.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Yes, I collected stamps too. Probably good for anyone.

Put them in a stampbook with little yellow hinges. Philately. I often wonder if it is as popular now. It was a big deal back then.
