Rex Tillerson: “I think it is important that the U.S. maintain a seat at that table, so that we can also judge the level of commitment…”

We have already done that through our diplomatic mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and have called for a full investigation.

Russia has often employed malicious tactics against the U.S. and Europe to drive us apart, and serially harassing and intimidating diplomats are not the behaviors of a responsible nation.

I think the Russians, too, are beginning to understand the threat that North Korea poses to them.

If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom.
