Trump taps Pacific Command chief Harry Harris to be South Korea envoy ahead of Kim summit
by Jesse Johnson
Staff Writer
U.S. Pacific Command chief Adm. Harry Harris, nominated to be ambassador to Canberra, will instead fill the long-vacant post of ambassador to South Korea, Australia’s top diplomat said Wednesday.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said she had been informed of the decision by acting U.S. Secretary of State John Sullivan on Tuesday.
“While we would have welcomed Adm. Harris here as ambassador to Australia, we understand that there are significant challenges for the United States on the Korean Peninsula,” Bishop was quoted as saying.
“We of course have a very strong and deep relationship with the United States and I am sure they will choose a very appropriate ambassador to take his place in due course,” she added.

Good. Keep the striped-pants boys at the State Department out of this. And the North Koreans respect military, not civilians. And alpha males, which are almost certainly in short supply at Foggy Bottom.

The Chinese state media have been harping on Harris’s Japanese mom, so this is a sharp stick in Beijing’s eye.

Trump nuked Foggy Bottom. One of the most underreported accomplishments of Trump.

I understand the Admiral will go to where the Commander and Chief needs him in a pivotal role and situation but if I were an 18 year old Squid and my orders were changed from Australia to South Korea, I would be pissed.

He is known as a staunch China hawk. China once demanded his removal from the post of U.S. Pacific Commander during one of talks between two countries.

“We got over Pearl Harbor.”
Right. Of course we did. We planted 2 big mushrooms in their house. It’s all good now.

If he nukes Foggy Bottom and the EPA, that alone will make for a successful Presidency.
Any good links on the State Dept side?

China has become the modern day copy of Japan, circa 1940. Rather ironic, considering how badly China hates Japan (still).

If this diplomacy is successful the Nobel Peace Prize committee will feel compelled to award their prize to ... Kim Jong Un.
