Only hours after Rex Tillerson gives @BorisJohnson strong US support for the UK’s position against Russia over the Salisbury attack, he is sacked by @realDonaldTrump. What is the US position now?

Are people unaware Pompeo is far more hawkish toward Russia (and basically any country) than Tillerson? https://t.co/R6uYzNC6aZ

Pompeo was one of those Republicans who spent years demanding greater confrontation with Putin & mocking Obama for being too soft on Russia. He’s a hard-core Russia hawk. Tilllerson was depicted as the opposite. Yet: replacing Tillerson with Pompeo is more proof of a KGB takeover https://t.co/yiuqBi16dT

Greenwald is so tedious, Tillerson just didn’t ignore the obvious. Pompeo is nothing but a Trump stooge, expecting him to cross Hair Furor and say anything bad about Russia is laughable.
