Also, the Man from Kochlandia (Pompeo) has been strongly supporting and spinning the Korean talks in the past few days.

(3,435 posts)...Oh I dont know...say "Putin personally awarded Tillerson with Russia's Order of Friendship medal in 2013" the highest honor to be given to an outsider!
Then... this
....In 2011, Exxon signed another deal with Rosneft for a lucrative $3.2 billion oil deal that would give Exxon permission to develop offshore oil fields in the Russian Arctic [insider 2013]
And this
....concern over Tillerson's nomination because of potential conflicts of interest. One of the first issues on Tillerson's agenda, for example, may be weighing whether to lift sanctions on Russia. Tillerson currently holds $151 million in Exxon stock, and the value of that stock would increase if sanctions were lifted. [Insider 2013]
All very curious, very curious indeed. Yet, since tillerson failed to lift santions on Russia, he has lost favor wth his buddy Putin, and accordng to John Haltiwanger, reporter for Newsweek in an article dated Sept 7 2017, "Putin now regrets giving tillerson the friendship award" Absolutely f#!@#!ig amazing..if this weren't some serious international shite .... this would be f@!#&$ hilarious! Ps. I really dont believe best buddy spat--seems like a farce, seems tillerson could be an agent for Russia, could be I've been reading one to many espionage novels.
But, really . is going on???
