| Kremlin says ties with US cannot get any worse under new Secretary of State |
| 2018-03-15 |
| [DAWN] The Kremlin on Wednesday said ties with the US could not get any worse under next Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, after the sacking of Rex Tillerson. “It's hardly possible to fall below the floor, so it is unlikely things will get any worse in this regard,” President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a response to a question about the high-level staff changes in the US administration announced on Tuesday. “In any case, there of course remains the hope of a constructive and sober approach to bilateral ties. There is always this hope,” Peskov said at a regular press briefing. |

| #7 You know, I'm beginning to think that I got this "collision probe" thing completely wrong. I mean, we think of it as Mandarinate trying to overthrow Trump. But, what happens if they succeed? They don't get Hillary, they get Pence. Meanwhile, though, Trump cannot negotiate mutually beneficent deals with Russia - so, who benefits? |

| #6 Considering how much the US is holding back on Russia, I'm pretty sure it can get much, much worse. |

| #1 IMO, Russia & USA need each other as allies against China (20 million superfluous males). |
