    Nope. He just fired Tillerson for indirectly criticizing Trump's boss Vladamir Putin.

    You sound like a tough enough dude, but I doubt you were waterboarded 83 times in a month, along with the sleep deprivation, being kept in a box and had your head slammed against the wall up until you lose an eye.

    But, being the tough dude that you are, I am pretty sure you wouldn't mind US prisoners being treated that way. That would be just a big laugh for them is it?

    That sick puppy of yours is said to have taken an active part in the torture. Wouldn't be surprised if she messed up her panties doing so.

    Oh, let them defend torture. It gives them a comical Mickey Mouse voice when they speak about other nations' crimes afterwards.

    The US and the UK have the best intelligence agencies in the world, and they share intelligence information with each other more intimately than any other two countries. I am positive that Rex Tillerson has a lot more information about the poisoning in the UK than you do. Donald Trump would have that information, too, if he he were able to pay attention during his intelligence briefings, but Twitter and Fox TV are strong presidential distractions.

    Vladimir Putin has some hold over Trump that has not yet been revealed. (Maybe Mueller knows it by now.) Trump not only fired Tillerson for pointing the finger at Russia, he then fired his Assistant Secretary of State for pointing out that the White House version of Tillerson's dismissal was untrue.

    I think you should stop pretending to yourself that you are better informed about the poisoning than the people who are intensively investigating it and sharing information with each other. You may think you do, but the rest of us know that you don't.

    Inaccurate, but even if it were, that would be in contrast to 6 months in the absence of a deal.

    It's just Bibi getting Trump to do his dirty work.

    Nope... I'll blame it on Trump since he has made his position clear after every meeting with Bibi.
    You haven't noticed this I guess.

    Tillerson was one of the guys talking Trump out of breaking the Iran deal.
    Pompeo won't do that. He is a big hack or do I mean hawk?
    Trump should meet with Kim before he breaks the Iran deal, otherwise Kim will know his word is no good. Or do you think Kim already knows that?

    You may be more correct than you realize! My German friends assure me that the relationship between ourselves and Germany are not good at all, and getting worse all the time. I've been saying for about a year that I see a situation developing in which Russia and Germany will have a much closer relationship, going forward. And as Germany goes, so goes the entire EU, and, its enormously overvalued euro....

    BTW, Afghanistan won't be "going in the tank". Why not? Obama was sent by his 'insider' masters to Afghanistan in 2012 to give them assurances that the U. S. would maintain a military presence and provide support until the year 2024. That's not a typo. Don't remember this story? It was a real 'puker' that largely went ignored by Obama's asskissing, liberal media. We will get more and more Americans killed there, and we'll blow billions more dollars, but, it won't "go in the tank"....

    I have no idea what you're talking about.

    Some phone call to the American Ambassador in the Ukraine...... Where do you get this from? RT?

    The British are in no doubt that the Russians poisoned two people. Evidently, you are better informed, as you try and pretend that there is doubt about the matter.

    Then you go on and try to justify Russian interference in our elections by excusing them because we did.

    You try and minimize the impact of the ongoing Russian efforts. They succeeded in turning up the hyperbolic division in the US several notches, and give active aid and confort to those who seek to undermine our institutions and our faith in democracy. They worked hard to aid the election of a man who they knew very well. A man they knew would alienate our allies, comfort our enemies, divide the world, and betray the nearly century old legacy of Churchill and Roosevelt.

    I hope the FSB pays you well to post here. Because if you're not getting paid for this, you're useful to them in an entirely different way,
