Blinken, who dictates flag policy at Embassies and Consulates, not Biden, is an idiot. The effectiveness of a diplomatic post depends as much on image as it does actual diplomacy. Flying a BLM or homosexual activist or a Masonic flag or the flag or your baseball team detracts from the effectiveness of the imagery of the US flag. Pompeo understood that.
At least Blinken had the sense to leave it up to the ambassador to decide if the political climate of his country would tolerate that stupid display.
