and Trump collusion and to a (ridiculous) "Tillerson needs to go to Russia in the middle of this great, sudden emergency in Syria! Look how tough Trump defies Putin! Tillerson needs to go to smooth things over -- not to get orders from Pres. Putin!" Honestly, the excuses for this attack are SO shallow, so fake, so clumsily and obviously orchestrated (Trump is sooooo moved by "beautiful babies" he didn't give a shit about when he was fighting (and is still fighting) for his Muslim Ban), with terrible staged photos with Jared and Bannon in the White House and that grotesque appearance of Trump last night via playback as he won't face live cameras.
And just like magic Tillerson has a planned trip to Russia next week! Hmmm, what a coincidence!
