Report: Tillerson Fired Because He Was Directly Undermining Trump's Efforts to Get Europe to Agree to Tougher Positioning on Iran

Trump's position on the Iran Deal is apparently this: If the European states which used to join us in economic sanctions before Obama let them out of it agree to force Iran to agree to actual inspections, performed by people called "Not the Iranian Government itself," of suspected nuclear sites, and agreed to limitations on ballistic missile technology, etc., then Trump would go along with the Iran Deal for a while.

It was Rex Tillerson's job to go out to the European states and sell them on this.

Instead, of course, he walked back from what Trump was demanding and instead made softer offers he was never authorized to make -- to appease Iran.

You know -- gross insubordination of the actual chief foreign policy officer of the United States. And also, appeasement of Iran, in a way that the TruCon Crying Eagle Brigade like to pretend they're opposed to.

The abrupt firing Tuesday of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson follows months of infighting between the State Department and White House over efforts by Tillerson to save the Iran nuclear deal and ignore President Donald Trump's demands that the agreement be fixed or completely scrapped by the United States, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

In the weeks leading up to Tillerson's departure, he had been spearheading efforts to convince European allies to agree to a range of fixes to the nuclear deal that would address Iran's ongoing ballistic missile program and continued nuclear research.

While Trump had prescribed a range of fixes that he viewed as tightening the deal's flaws, Tillerson recently caved to European pressure to walk back these demands and appease Tehran while preserving the deal, according to these sources. The Free Beacon first disclosed this tension last week in a wide-ranging report.

White House allies warned Tillerson's senior staff for weeks that efforts to save the nuclear deal and balk on Trump's key demands regarding the deal could cost Tillerson his job, a warning that became reality Tuesday when Trump fired Tillerson by tweet.

Yesterday, the conspiracy theorists all proposed their newest conspiracy theory (which apparently occurred to them all nearly spontaneously) that Trump had fired Tillerson because Tillerson had endorsed the UK's conclusion that Russia had attempted to assassinate a defector living in Europe, and Trump couldn't have anyone saying anything about Vlad.

Apparently these geniuses did not know about the long-simmering tension about the Iran Deal (though the Free Beacon says they reported on just that last week).

And look at that -- they did report on it last week.

Iran is undertaking a massive buildup of its ballistic missile program, sparking fears of a "second Holocaust" amid sensitive international negotiations that could see the Trump administration legitimize Iranian missiles capable of striking Israel, according to multiple sources familiar with ongoing diplomatic talks.

As the Trump administration and European allies continue discussions aimed at fixing a range of flaws in the landmark Iran nuclear deal, sources familiar with the progression of these talks say the United States is caving to European demands limiting restrictions on Iran's ballistic missile program.

While the Trump administration went into the negotiations with a hardline stance on cutting off Iran's ballistic missile program, it appears the United States [that is, Tillerson -- ace] is moving closer in line with European positions that would only regulate a portion of the missiles.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the ongoing talks told the Washington Free Beacon U.S. officials [Tillerson] have been backpedaling on key demands originally proposed by President Trump in order to preserve the agreement and appease European allies who are eager to continue doing business with Tehran.

Senior Trump administration officials recently told the Free Beacon the United States is prepared to abandon the nuclear deal if European allies fail to address what it views as a range of flaws in the nuclear deal that have enabled Iran's missile buildup and allowed it to continue critical nuclear research.

However, it appears the United States is losing ground in the talks, moving closer to the European position, which includes what insiders described as only cosmetic changes to the nuclear deal that fail to adequately address Iran's massive missile buildup.

But the #SmartSet [citation needed] didn't know any of this, and just did their #TwitterHotTakes and claimed Tillerson was fired on Putin's orders.

You know -- like MSNBC and HuffPo bloggers did.

They pose as the #SmartSet, but you'll notice they do not reason -- they seethe. They are motivated, like the shittier class of bloggers tend to be, by little more than emotion, primarily anger and hate.

Oh, and conspiracy theorizing. Lots and lots of uniformed, childish conspiracy theorizing.

Oh, and also, fellas -- Trump endorsed the UK's claims about Russia attempting the assassination, too.

Strike two against your conspiracy theory:



Oh, and one more point -- as Conservative Review points out...

Third, and this is really where the "Putin told Trump to fire Rex" narrative is exposed as utter idiocy, Mike Pompeo is tougher on Russia than Tillerson and has been so for years.

Indeed, the Conspiracy Theorists objected to Tillerson back when he was floated as a nominee precisely because, they claimed, he was too close to Russia.

But now swapping him out for Cold Warrior Mike Pompeo is some kind of favor to Putin!

Strike three.

Read more, tweet less.

Think more, seethe less.

And dial it down on the conspiracy theories. Just because your TwitterPalz agree with your conspiracy theories does not render them into something other than conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories often attract a broad range of emotionally-embittered people who all agree vociferously with the conspiracy theory the group has nuttered itself into believing.

By the way, Adam Schiff has told me to invite you guys to apply to his House investigation staff. He says he likes the cut of your respective jibs and would further like to subscribe to your newsletters.

Oh, and as you make your final official exits from conservative politics, you might want to drop off a resume at Jezebel. I think you'd get on well with them.

They have a narrative and it's anchored around only one position, "everything is bad for Trump all the time".

81 "50 >>I've been trying to remember Chicago Jesus firing some of his picks during his eight years. Strangely, I can't."

Obama had a party that agreed with him 100% and was dedicated to doing everything he (and Valerie Jarrett) asked them to do, no matter what.

Trump is still dealing with a party that under the scenes still hates him and wants to sabotage everything he does. It's hard to tell who's actually loyal until they display it with their actions.

I find Tillerson's performance puzzling. As others have noted - what did he think he was going to do here? Impossible to believe he wasn't clear - crystal - on Trump's requirements WRT JCPOA. Yet he goes off and tries to engineer some fait accomplis or something with which to trap his boss?

That was actually a part of the huge part of the fight between the post-war Radical Republicans and Andrew Johnson, and what helped lead to his impeachment. Johnson's cabinet tried to say that they were independent of him and could do whatever they wanted, and he had no authority to fire them after they'd been confirmed.

At least people quickly realized that was a very bad idea, no matter who was President.

167 Problem remains that the Iran containment strategy, which was working far better than could have been expected (mostly a credit to Dubya), has nukes and missiles only as a rationale.


The obvious objective, and the only thing that can actually achieve "non-proliferation" goals, is regime change. Which is vital anyway.


Iran since '79 has been the worst, bloodiest, most effective global terrorism and vandalism actor. They are careful (not reckless like Saddam or sloppy like Qadhafi/Ghaddafy/Kadafy). They actually have a blended national/cultural/ideological basis for their chauvinism - they're not just another gangster regime.


Regime change is vital. But it's just about impossible to achieve. So containment/weakening is the next best option. Which is what the sanctions were about.


The Obama catastrophe on Iran was a catastrophe because -


1) it discarded a remarkably effective containment/weakening operation that had taken years to establish, against the reckless stupidity of Europeans and the daunting challenge of isolating a country like Iran


2) nukes


3) ballistic missiles

This. And I'd go so far as to say no, it's not falsifiable. Every anti-Trumper will view every action PDT or his administration takes as evidence of collusion. He could bomb Russia into one huge sheet of glass and the anti-Trumpers would say he did it to hide evidence of collusion. They will never believe otherwise.

To be fair, the opposite side does much the same thing. The wildly pro-Trump crowd will view every action PDT or his administration takes as evidence of his pure, unadulterated genius. He doesn't make mistakes; he's just so far ahead of everyone else in the playbook that he's pulling strings before they're even strung. That, too, cannot be falsified.

The difference, of course, is that the pro-Trump crowd does not control the journalistic, entertainment, academic, educational, legislative, and judicial spheres; the anti-Trumpers do. And they're happy to excommunicate anyone who doesn't faithfully adhere to their religious doctrine.

Obama(Jarrett) was the first RedDiaperBaby president. His own book says he was mentored by a card carrying commie, and an old Spectator article shows he was (politically) married to another red (Jarrett, his brain) in Chicago.

Hillary/Podesta ... also in bed with Russia ... U1, Skolkovo, Moscow banks. And all the Trump connections turn out to bet setups directly out of the Hillary campaign, given credence by cooperation from the corrupt people in the FBI as they tried to kill Trump's election hopes, then to stymy his presidency.

Trump/Russia is the left's 2+2=5 moment. They have all evidence against them, yet they think they have the power to force us to accept the lie.

Mueller is still there ... DeepState crimes still not prosecuted ... so the outcome is still uncertain. Proving they are lying doesn't seem to matter.
Proving they are committing felonies (leaking, conspiring, etc) .... doesn't matter. It continues unabated.

So excuse me for drifting off to sleep while pondering this high-stakes, dramatic confrontation between world powers over exotic assassinations and the like.

Also, he had been a succesful quarterback, and there's something about a sports star personality that gives them a special affinity to this. I have a little knowledge, a sister who is church going, very moral, very good person all around got secretly involved in gambling, had an addiction, and wrecked her life because of it, all while hiding what was going on from those around her.

She doesn't do that anymore - can't - but the things she was able to do while in the middle of it were shocking, and also that she could keep up a very good and completely normal appearance to everyone else while it was going on. Really shocked all of us, hard for us to believe it was true til we saw it laid out in black and white.

She's explained it to me as best she could, so I think I can understand it a little, but I'm always happy to note that the whole topic of gambling proves that there is at least one vice that has no attraction at all to me.

243 But why was Tillerson so intent on keeping the Iran deal? Was it just the progressive left wing view that we need to be nice to Iran so they will like us?

I don't think so. Not with Tillerson at least. The reason why a former executive at Exxon would be for the Iran deal is because it opens a new market. Not just for oil either. Boeing had a nice deal with Iran.

https://tinyurl.com/y94tcjbr

That is just the top of the list of American companies. The European companies are even more hot to make business deals in Iran.

Despite last night's defeat in PA, free trade conservatives have to figure out where international trade begins and ends. Do we do deals with admitted enemies of the United States? Do we do deals with countries who make wild treats against our allies? Do we do deals with countries who fund terrorist groups against us?

Why does this matter? Well for military and national security reasons for one. But it is more than just a battlefield problem.

When American companies do business different countries they tend to support those countries political views in order to get those wonderful new deals. Those companies then donate (or bribe) American politicians to support keeping those countries happy.

See how the American tech companies tend to appease China, which then tends to spill over into our freedoms. It is no surprise that American tech companies have become more supportive of anti-free speech polices the more they become embedded in China. It is no surprise that American educational institutions have become more anti-freedom as Chinese money pours into them.

Not picking on China, they are not alone in this. The EU and Islamic countries are the same. They view business deals as a way to influence America politically. So it is more than money.

This is why the Iran deals is more dangerous than just letting Iran get room to build nukes and missiles. It is about influencing our business and elite class to make America into something that Iran likes.

You can never view trade deals on purely economic grounds. That is a major failure of the conservative movement. Something good economically could be awful for American freedom.

And building up military spending, and bombing Rooskies to pieces in Syria, and looking to torpedo the Iran deal, and...
Posted by: Mr. Peebles at March 14, 2018 01:20 PM (oVJmc)

=============

It's something that needs to be said repeatedly.

If Trump was a tool of Russian, he'd be cutting off energy production in the US as much as possible, getting behind every wacko environmental movement to hamper US energy as well, killing fraking. He'd act like a liberal Democrat, really.

And the fact that he wants the US to be energy dominant when Russia relies so heavily on high oil prices to fund its entire government is debilitating to the whole idea of Trump as Russian tool.

I really want to see Patterico write a post about how Trump killing Russian finances through low energy prices is a sign that he's Putin's puppet.

with gruesome, detailed instructions for the kind of stuff ISIS has
since been seen doing/broadcasting for years.

I'm asking about the bump at the top of the grip safety. I'm used to seeing a smoothly curved grip safety, with no bump. Recently I've seen several new pistols with the bump, Colts, I believe, and I wondered why it was there.
Posted by: Iowa Bob, totally not a Russian BOT at March 14, 2018 12:47 PM (tu3iY)







It's a common addition to the design of the grip safety to ensure that it's depressed when the pistol is held in the hand. But they do it as a bump to ensure minimal alteration of the grip feel.

Personally, I've never had a problem with the GS on a 1911, but it's nice to have the option for those that do.

something that before now was only known to top level intelligence
services.

Well, if that Russian nerve agent was ever identified in the press, or some scholarly journal, a good chemist could probably figure out the synthesis, based on the synthesis of of known similar compounds.
And I dare say some of the genuine Russian stuff made its way to the black market, too. If you wanted to make it look like Russia did the hit; if that was really important to you, then you would go to extreme lengths to make it so.

The Big Bang theory was developed by George LeMaitre, who was a Roman Catholic priest (and physicist, of course) who later became the science advisor to the Vatican. LeMaitre liked the Big Bang idea because he thought it fit well with his concept of the biblical creation of the universe. That's not why he came up with it but once he did come up with it he thought it was no coincidence that it fit so well into the Biblical narrative.

IIRC, there has been a group of people in DC, including John Brennan, who for many years have wanted to replace the US with Iran as the stabilizing super power in the region. Iran getting nukes does that, as it would make it difficult for US to intervene. It gets the US out of the Middle East.

regarding the deal could cost Tillerson his job, a warning that became
reality Tuesday when Trump fired Tillerson by tweet."

-----------------------------------------

So does this definitively answer yesterday's questions as to whether Tillerson was fired by tweet?

So the "White House" mis-lead when saying he was fired by phone? And the Deputy Under Assistant Deputy Secretary of State for Public Relations was fired as a result?

Or his trip was cut short because he was already fired but it was just not public yet which was done by tweet?

Not really a fair question re basic science. It's like asking what a newborn has done in the world.

What did arcane studies of nuclear magnetism do that was practical? At the time, nothing. Later, NMR, a crucial analytical tool in chemistry. And from that. MRI.

Same thing with the laser, and lots of other initially "impractical" research.

By the same token, what of "practical" utility came of quantum mechanics, or general relativity? Answer: lots. In time. Not right away.
