Rex Tillerson has been a terrible Secretary of State. Mike Pompeo will be worse. Tillerson's life as a global capitalist necessarily made him a globalist; Pompeo is a Christian conservative who entered government with the Tea Party. Totally comfortable with Tr*mp's "America First" ideology, he would be on-board for Holy Wars in Iran, Korea, or anyplace abortion is too readily available. Corporate America, barring defense contractors, cannot be pleased by his appointment.
Pompeo likes power too much to continue Tillerson's dismantling of the State Department, so many currently vacant positions will be filled — inevitably with like-minded ideologues. America's European allies will not be pleased; Putin, on the other hand, should be knocking back shots of vodka and dancing the
kazatsky about now.
