If Tillerson found out by twitter then he was not fired on Friday and his ouster was indeed a result of his position on Russia.

Chilichimp posted:Roll eyes all loving day, my goon. Glenn Greenwald isn't worthy of your respect. He's a repeat guest on Tucker Carlson's show because he is willing to write political fiction that supports his worldview. Also, Glenn Greenwald is never wrong because you can't comprehend the intelligence that Glenn has, or so he will tell you.

My future sister in law jumped ship from the State Dept back to Defense in Oct. She’s got timing like she’s jumping off a car driving off a cliff and sticking the landing.

My sources at the Intercept tell me that a 400 pound Chinese man sitting on a bed could have poisoned the Russian spy.

Cythereal posted:Tom Clancy was less crazy than this administration. Jack Ryan was the National Security Advisor, not head of the CIA, and was explicitly brought in as a replacement VP for the last six months of an administration after the last VP resigned in disgrace. Tom Clancy himself meanwhile made a living pushing moronic conspiracy theories that threw such a wide net they were bound to catch something eventually. Mostly at the end by letting ghostwriters do all his work for him and putting his license on every single overly militaristic game he could find. He made a lot of money and had a franchise organized around his work and name, instead of losing a lot of money and trying to regain it like Trump did, which was what essentially forced him into becoming a politician in the first place. What I'm saying is, Clancy may have been an asshat that blamed leftists for everything, with a bunch of crazy ideas, but he made his own fortune and actually willingly wanted to serve in the military, but was rejected after they found out he was nearsighted. And he could organize a franchise that didn't fall apart after only months of scrutiny. And whatever else you could say he would do, he probably wouldn't willingly seek Putin's praise.

Groovelord Neato posted:it's racism pure and simple. you see it in every article about trump voters who don't regret voting for him. Sadly, I think you're right. What I think that I (in my naivety) and others opposed to the President need to come to grips with is that it's more prevalent in this country than we wanted to believe. This thread may know it. But I'm not sure America does. I'm more pessimistic than I've ever been about this country.

SulphagneSocialist posted:It's still really horrible to do it on this day of all days. They could have and should have waited a month or two and try to get Tillerson to resign himself for "family reasons." Now no American official, when talking about Russia's covert activities with US allies, can be assumed by US allies to actually have the administration's backing, if even the top State official is humiliated out of his post the next day after vocally backing the UK up. This is going to have really far-reaching consequences for the US whether they were intended or not. Dismantling international diplomacy to protect the pee tape Really though, until there's more info, I think the simplest explanation is that Trump has wanted Tillerson out for a while and finally confirmed his replacement. The catastrophically bad timing is just Trump being bad at his job.

Crain posted:No, Romeny was saying we needed more Aircraft Carriers and tanks to fight a hot war with Russia. Which is still not something we need to do since we have more Carriers than all of Europe and Russia combined. Seriously? This thread is so much of an echo chamber that we can't give a Republican's correct hot take on Russia any credit? Obama was terrible on Russia, essentially ceding the Syria conflict to Moscow.

bogoodski posted:Yeah, I dont get it. I would dislike Trump based on policy and his racism alone. That I'm a vet makes me only dispise him for his cowardness even more. Yeah, man, this scares me too. I didn't serve, but I know a great many who do and almost to a man, they're Trump supporters. They were all republicans before any of this, so it's not some huge leap, but the fact that they're all so blatantly in for ~Trump~ is surprising.
