SOS Mike Pompeo gave a speech on Monday at Voice of America. Pompeo spoke about a lot of things, but specifically he mentioned that it’s a worldwide broadcast station and is translated live into 64 languages. I thought that was a little overkill for a kind of obscure (at least to me) outlet. But after seeing some posts that since the operation is a global one, that the whole world has to know. I theorize that VOA will be the outlet that broadcasts everything to the world via some sort of global EBS typically used for nuclear situations.

Back in Brezhnev's times VOA was the bridge to real world for many in that asylum (aka USSR). People spent monthly salaries buying radios (usually German made, Grundig?) good enough to pick up the signal despite Soviets building vast and powerful arrays to defeat the signal.
So, yes, VOA makes perfect sense and may be the best platform to disseminate the message across the globe.
