Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, is skipping the useless NATO meeting scheduled for April 5-6th, in order to visit red China and then his good friends in Moscow, Vlad Putin and his diabolical band of hacking Kingmakers.
Tillerson is going to actually miss his first opportunity to meet with a group of autocrats in Brussels, in favor of a communist zealot in China and an inscrutable thug in Moscow. Can you believe it?
Advocates for the secretary might argue that the 28 nations that make up NATO are useless shills, milling about Brussels in search of good pizza — whereas negotiating with China and Russia could quite literally mean the difference between trade war and a physical one — something that is not in the best interest of the American people.

“It feeds this narrative that somehow the Trump administration is playing footsy with Russia,” said one former U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“You don’t want to do your early business with the world’s great autocrats. You want to start with the great democracies, and NATO is the security instrument of the transatlantic group of great democracies,” he added.
I’m not exactly sure which democracies this unnamed ‘former US official’ is speaking of when referring to the cabal of European nations that make up NATO. Perhaps he’s talking about the ‘democratically elected’ leader of Turkey?
Nevertheless, expect the mayne stream meteor to chimp out on these awfully grim revelations of Sec. “fuck the press” Tillerson opting to ignore NATO in favor of relevant countries who could use some diplomacy to set things right.
