between the secretary and his boss, sergey lavrov. this is fascinating in the history of the administration. and what comes out of the meeting today, fascinating. . they seem to ignore the previous history before coming into this office. when donald trump was on the campaign trail saying, wouldn t it be nice to have a better relationship with russia? sure, it would be great. but reality is a different set of circumstances. and they are running into that full-on. and we saw it with the sudden turn-around on syria. it wasn t news to any of us that assad was using chemical weapons on his own people. apparently it was news to the president. and so, we re seeing this happen in live time. but it s not like this is all new information. it s a key point. and the question is, if it s not new information, do you think you re the one who can change it? president trump does think he s the great negotiator. but yesterday secretary tillerson said russia can make a choice, step away from assad a
