Secretary of State Spurns NATO Meeting, Will Visit Moscow
"Secretary of State" Rex Tillerson has announced that he will skip the meeting of NATO foreign ministers and will instead make a visit to Moscow in April to congratulate the criminals who conducted the cyberwar operation against the 2016 US presidential campaign.
The truth about the Trump administration could not be clearer: Trump is rewarding his Russian supporters by weakening NATO and legitimizing Putin's criminal regime in Moscow.
NATO has been the most effective military and foreign policy instrument of the United States since the end of World War II. It has participated in and enables our wars in the Middle East, just as it always provided a bulwark against the aggressive Soviet Union. NATO continues to save US taxpayers uncounted billions of dollars, and lives of US soldiers, by multiplying American military might and economic power.
In NATO, we are allied with democracies and advanced economies who share our values and support our international interests. Their modern armed forces multiply our American might, and their territories provide bases from which we conduct our own operations in the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and elsewhere. The soldiers of their armed forces have given their lives alongside our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in the fight against terrorism.
By snubbing our NATO allies, Tillerson is sabotaging the interests of the United States and giving aid and comfort to our enemies in Russia.
This is the same Rex Tillerson who, as the chairman of Exxon, used a false email name to coordinate his strategies with US regulators, who hid his own company's findings about the impact of fossil fuels on global climate change, and who used lies and propaganda trying to hide the scientific truth that burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Tillerson has proven himself to be an enemy of the future of the human race.
And now he has proven himself to be a traitor to the United States. What could be more despicable and hateful to the American people?
