In a move that could puzzle international allies of the United States, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is not only skipping a NATO meeting in Brussels next month but also heading to Moscow instead.

This week, he will meet with several of his counterparts from NATO member countries, a spokesman confirmed, but will skip a scheduled meeting in April.
Washington will host the coalition to defeat ISIS starting Wednesday and Tillerson will meet with the NATO members' foreign ministers then, the spokesman said

I don't think they're puzzled at all tbh. People know the score.

This is essentially the same story though

The puppet government has to get fresh orders at some point, right?

Rachel Maddow (or Chris Hayes/possibly both?) brought this up and inferred a connection between this move and the quid pro quo of the Trump administration as payment for the DNC cyber espionage.

The fact that they are still so blatant in their actions on favoring Russian policy is mind boggling.

They should let him know they don't feel like flying to DC. They will just wait to see how Trump brilliantly defeats IS.

If you had to choose between hanging out with friends or enemies, wouldn't you do the same?

Probably hurrying to make sure that 500.000.000.000$ oil deal works out. Exxon needs that Crimea route for the oil that they pump out via the massive land lease from the Russians. Flows through the Crimea pipeline to be shipped out from Sevastopol port there without paying Ukraine any taxes.
DAT coincidence.
