Putin Refuses to Meet with Tillerson

https://politicalwire.com/2017/04/10/putin-refuses-meet-tillerson/

SNIP..............


“The Kremlin said on Monday that U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will not meet President Vladimir Putin when he visits Moscow on Wednesday, a move that could point to tensions over a U.S. missile attack on a Syrian air base last week,” Reuters reports.

Let him play Twitter war with Putin over this affront. Let Putin finally become tired of him and release all the secret info.

Trump has a unique way of wiping out PR bumps he gets very quickly.

He won't last until Friday before he says or does something stupid or offensive again. Can't help it.

Presidents and PMs rarely meet with Foreign Ministers or Secretaries of State.
The arrogance displayed by the Con and his goons is breath-taking - they'd better read up on protocol.
Rude on steroids

Vlad refused to see Tillerson because Tillerson failed to bring the $5-million in cash he historically opened the conversation with.

OMG it so funny that suddenly Vlad is pissy because usually Tillerson is the one genuflecting.

Now Vlad has to come to grips with that, although hes got $150-billion of his citizens money in his swiss bank accounts, Little Donny has more toys and can blow every shitty MIG out of the air.

STFU Vlad.
