Putin, Putin, Uber Alles.
As you probably all know by now, an ex-spy was poisoned in the UK with s nerve agent that endangered many others as well. Theresa May laid the blame at Russia's door.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial board seemed to concur. www.wsj.com/articles/russias-trail-of-poison-1520467439 . Hell, most of the world concurs.
Normally, the U.S. would immediately support one of its closest allies in this situation. But Trump? Crickets.
However, Rex Tillerson finally grew some balls and spoke up to support May.

Trump sacked Tillerson this morning.

Yes, it's been a while coming. My opinion: Tillerson knew this was coming eventually and decided "fuck it, fuck Trump; I'm going to be a man and speak truth."

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday that the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy in Britain “clearly came from Russia” and “certainly will trigger a response."
Tillerson said in a statement that he doesn’t know if the Kremlin was aware of the poisoning, but that the nerve agent used in the attack could not have come from any other country.
He called the attack “a really egregious act” and said it was “almost beyond comprehension” that officials of any government would use the poison in a public location.
“From Ukraine to Syria — and now the [United Kingdom] — Russia continues to be an irresponsible force of instability in the world, acting with open disregard for the sovereignty of other states and the life of their citizens,” Tillerson said.
Ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were found to have been poisoned with a nerve agent in Britain last week.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday that it was “highly likely” that Russia was responsible for the poisoning. She gave Russian officials until Tuesday to respond to her claims.
