Putin Flinches – Russian Media Report: President Putin Will Meet With T-Rex

[HAPPY2BME]

According to Russian state media reports President Vladimir Putin has reversed his prior position will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.   This is the first flinch from Putin and highlights his awareness of how weakened his political hand has become.

    (Via Daily Mail) Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Donald Trump’s chief diplomat after all during his stay in Moscow, a Russian television station has reported.

    Putin’s spokesman said Monday that the foreign leader did not plan to see Rex Tillerson, the US secretary of state. Tillerson was to meet with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, instead.

    The Kremlin did not say why Putin was avoiding Tillerson – who arrived in Moscow late Tuesday evening – after meeting repeatedly with his predecessor, John Kerry, in the Obama years, only that he was not on the president’s schedule.

    Russia‘s snub to Tillerson came after its verbal assault on the US for Trump’s air strikes in Syria. Putin’s government warned Trump that it was ‘one step from war’ with the US following the attack.

    Tillerson hammered Russia right back on Tuesday, saying in a statement that Russia had ‘failed in its responsibility’ to locate and destroy Bashar al-Assad’s entire stockpile of chemical weapons.

There's the fixation with Kerry 'constantly' meeting with Putin again.

" Kerry lies openly.  And he knows that he lies.  That is sad. "  --Vlad Putin, 2013

Tillerson's only meeting to frame the differences between the two Countries personally.  Close-up.  So he can report back to The President and help work on a blueprint for the actual talks.  With Lavrov, you start talking.  With Putin, you plan how to start talking. 

So it never was a big deal if Rex met Vlad or not.  That's why there aren't any transcripts or photos from the meeting released yet.  The so-called 'low point'...
