Rex Tillerson To Skip NATO Meeting To Visit Russia Instead

[skews13]

Tillerson won’t exactly be on new turf. He’s an old Moscow hand, what with his $500 billion deal with Putin just waiting for Trump to flip the off switch on US sanctions. Rex Tillerson isn’t just standing up NATO. He’s deliberately standing up NATO, then making a special call on Moscow.

Awesome! Hopefully they're coordinating their plan to wipe out the Democrats in the 2018 midterms

Yep. It's happening in Reuters and the Hill's world also.

I hear it's also happening in the real world.

I haven't checked what's going on in la la land over at right wing alt fact conspiracy world yet. I'll get back to you on that one.

Ohhh

Tillerson is meeting with the Chinese! That's why he can't meet with NATO. He isn't going to Russia until next month.

Thanks for clearing that up. It is just a calendar conflict with the Chinese visit.

No, the fools are the ones pushing some big conspiracy that Tillerson is a Russian lackey even when Obama's appointed ethics chief Shaub stated his divestiture from Exxon/Mobil was a "sterling model" for other nominees. Ignoring that under Obama's administration deals were made benefiting Russia, and we still continued to import crude oil from Russia. The same admin. that declared they could make a better deal for Russia when Obama was elected and offered them the reset button; the same administration that allowed Russia to take over Crimea. Russia consistently flaunted international norms under Obama without consequence.-

Despite U.S.-Russia relations becoming strained during the Bush administration, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev (president from May 2008 until May 2012, with Vladimir Putin as head of government) and U.S. president Barack Obama struck a warm tone at the 2009 G20 summit in London and released a joint statement that promised a "fresh start" in U.S.-Russia relations...

In March 2009, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov symbolically pressed a "reset" button.

He is no longer CEO. Period.
Now Hillary did give Russia their uranium deal as Secretary of State. Fact. Period.
NYT's-
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

this is old, old news. Tillerson/Exxon have a $500B oil deal pending, and have for quite a while


In 2011, Exxon Mobil signed a deal with Rosneft, Russia's largest state-owned oil company, for joint oil exploration and production. Since then, the companies have formed 10 joint ventures for projects in Russia.

In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Tillerson his nation's Order of Friendship.

Exxon CEO is now Trump's secretary of state favorite - transition official

STFU about the uranium deal fools. That involved several agencies, not just 1 woman, and before the deal both us and Russia already had enough nukes to destroy the world 10 times over.

Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010

Statement on Russia Day
June 11, 2010

On behalf of the American people, I extend my best wishes to all those who observe Russia Day. On June 12, 1992, the first Congress of the Russian Federation declared a new sovereign nation. But the relationship between our peoples goes back much further. This year, we celebrated the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II, and it was the joint Allied forces that defeated fascism. Today, our two nations continue in our strong partnership, mutual respect, and friendship, and I am proud of the new START Treaty and our joint efforts to reduce our nuclear arsenals. Beyond that, our two nations continue to expand our commercial and economic ties. Here in America, many Americans can trace their origins to Russia, and all of them are an important part of our national identity.

 

[depotoo]

The exchange has its roots in a “hot mic” incident in March 2012, during which Obama and then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev were caught exchanging words during a summit in South Korea.

“On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space,” Obama told Medvedev, referring to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin.

“Yeah, I understand,” Medvedev said.

“This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility,” Obama added.

“I understand,” Medvedev replied. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
June 18, 2012
Joint Statement by the President of the United States of America Barack Obama and the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin
The United States of America and the Russian Federation confirm our commitment to strengthening close and cooperative relations for the benefit of the peoples of our countries, international peace, global prosperity, and security. In recent years, we have laid a solid foundation for expanding our bilateral interaction in a variety of areas. Today we agree to continue this work guided by the principles of the rule of law, respect for human rights, equality, and mutual respect.

One of the key tasks on our shared agenda is the expansion of trade and investment relations, which should foster mutual economic growth and prosperity. To this end, we have agreed to prioritize the expansion and diversification of our bilateral trade and investment through nondiscriminatory access to our markets based on international rules.

An important step in this direction is Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which has become possible thanks to our joint efforts. In order for WTO rules and mechanisms to apply to our bilateral trade, the Obama Administration is working closely with the U.S. Congress to terminate, as soon as possible, application of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment with respect to Russia and extend Permanent Normal Trade Relations to the Russian Federation. The United States has also welcomed and offered its support to Russia’s pursuit of membership in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

President Obama's Signature Paves Way for Permanent Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Moldova | United States Trade Representative

President Obama's Signature Paves Way for Permanent Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Moldova

On August 22, 2012, Russia became the 156th Member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). On December 14, 2012, the President signed legislation – which had been approved overwhelmingly by the U.S. Congress - terminating the application of Jackson-Vanik and extending permanent normal trade relations to Russia and Moldova. On December 21, 2012, the United States and Russia both filed letters with the World Trade Organization (WTO) withdrawing their notices of non-application and agreeing to have the WTO agreement apply between them. The application of the WTO agreement between the United States and Russia will benefit U.S. businesses and workers by improving market access for U.S. exports of goods and services and bringing Russia into a system of established, enforceable, multilateral trade rules. Here are a few of the United States' export opportunities From Russia's membership in the WTO.

Looking to build on Russia’s WTO membership, the Administration is working to expand the bilateral economic relationship with Russia. At their June meeting at the G-20 in Los Cabos, Presidents Obama and Putin agreed that the United States and Russia could do more to meet their potential as economic partners. USTR, in conjunction with other relevant U.S. government agencies, is therefore looking at concrete steps that will improve the conditions for bilateral trade and investment.
