Reminds me of 2018 when Trump was losing patience with Rex Tillerson and the State Department, so he sends Pompeo... his CIA Director at the time.... to meet with Kim Jung-un in Pyongyang. Tillerson shortly gets the boot, and Pompeo is promptly elevated to Secretary of State.
Looking at William Burns's résumé and quite frankly he's WAY more experienced and better qualified to be the country's head diplomat than the amateur that is Anthony Blinken, who might I add has yet to deliver any sort of significant foreign policy win for the Administration... if anything Blinken seems to make everything worse. The circumstances between Tillerson/Pompeo and Blinken/Burns are so alike, it makes me wonder if the Biden Administration is losing patience and is signalling its intent to chuck Blinken aside.
