I think he's a man of incredible intelligence and integrity. I'm also glad he's friends with Putin. We need cool heads right now. We are sitting on a powder keg. One minor incident... a nervous soldier... or a pilot flying to close to something... could set the whole thing off.
Lets hope Tillerson's relationship with Putin will embolden Putin to use whatever leverage he might have with China to do what it needs to do to de-fuse this thing. Or else millions are going to die and the world's economies are going to be thrown into the dark ages. There is no doubt in my mind that North Korea has the ability right now with nasty conventional weapons of the chemical and biological kind to launch a deadly attack on Japan's mainland, Singapore, and our West Coast. This will not be limited to the Korean Peninsula.
Trump drew a line in the sand... and that scares me. This is essentially a very high stakes poker game and Kim is is holding pocket aces. Trump has no choice but to back down and eat crow. He has to realize...that even if North Korea could miniaturize a nuke and figure out re-entry, they'll never launch on us. We might just have to accept them being a nuclear power, and spend our $'s on the technology to shoot those fuckers in outer-space if it comes down to that.
Its really possible that the fate of our civilization as we know it rests in the hands of one man, and its not Trump. Its Tillerson. He'll do the right thing, and he'll stand up to Trump even more-so than the generals will. I truly believe that. And he won't quit the job either. He knows whats at stake, and its not Trump's fucking ego. We're lucky to have him.
