I lost count of the many times she stated that she "Felt intimidated" by President Trump's tweets regarding her poor performance throughout her career as a State Department employee.
I'm evidently not the only one who believes thisside note-I absolutely hate it when other authors beat me to the punch-in this case, Chuck de Caro of American Greatness, did so in grand fashion by penning this stellar assessment of ambassadors past, comparing them to the weak performance of Marie Yovanovitch.
Upon hearing that emotional reaction to a presidential tweet, one might wonder just how much the State Department standard for what counts as "Intimidating" and "Not intimidating" has changed over the decades.
De Caro goes on to describe major world events and tough, decisive responses by a number of hard bitten U.S Ambassadors.
Twenty-one years later another American diplomat, deputy U.N. ambassador Charles Lichenstein, was not intimidated at the height of another crisis that could have led to nuclear war: The downing of Korean Airlines Flight 007, where the Soviets shot down an airliner and killed all 269 people on board, including a United States congressman.
Lichenstein, severely perturbed, pointedly declared that if U.N. member nations felt "They are not being treated with the hostly consideration that is their due," they might think about "Removing themselves and this organization from the soil of the United States. We will put no impediment in your way ... The members of the U.S. mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset."
While there may be those who may think this only applauds the steadfastness of males in the State Department, one could easily retort with two words: Jeanne Kirkpatrick.
